Sustainable Productivity Solutions was founded by Khaled Mabrouk (Process Improvement Leader) to ensure that our clients' Productivity Program generates significant measurable results that are sustainable by the front line people who do the work. We accomplish this by working with and guiding:
1) Productivity Program Leaders to ensure that their productivity
program delivers quantifiable and sustainable results.
2) Process Improvement Specialists to increase their skills and
effectiveness by working with them to resolve difficult operational
performance issues.
3) Organizational Leadership Team to increase their workforce
engagement skills; resulting in a frontline workforce that owns
and drives continuous improvement of the operations.
There are many tools out there today, and it can get confusing what one should do: LEAN, Six Sigma, etc. What all these tools have in common is a focus on reducing operational costs, increasing process capability, and improving productivity. By looking at these various tools as just tools on our "process improvement tool belt", we can simplify the focus of our Productivity program.
Productivity programs need to use a "Work Projects" approach as the starting point. The Work Projects mode is where we have a team of Process Improvement Specialists (also called Industrial Engineers, Process Engineers, Business Analyst, etc.) drive the process improvement projects.
Longer term, all organizations need to migrate to a "Continuous Improvement" (CI) culture. In the world of productivity, a CI culture exists when the frontline workforce (both workers and managers) drive the process improvement projects. What this buys an organization is an EXPONENTIAL increase in the number of people who are driving process improvement within the organization.
We, at Sustainable Productivity Solutions, will work with your team members to manage the transition to a Continuous Improvement Culture in the most effective and sustainable manner. The key steps in this transition are:
1) Driving Process Thinking
2) Defining & Adhering to Standard Work
3) Engaging the workforce, especially the front line managers
4) Using Control Charts to understand and manage variability
