In today’s workplace the war on talent is fierce. Managers need to find ways to attract and retain good employees. Employee engagement is critical for any business’s success. Engagement rates have been slowly decreasing over the last few years and this is having an impact on loyalty, retention, profitability, work quality, safety,  and innovation. More and more organizations are investing their time and resources into creating positive and healthy workplace cultures that attract and retain top talent. Surprisingly, many companies are not measuring employee engagement levels annually or doing much to address the changing needs of today’s workforce.

 

In this workshop we will explore:

• Current Engagement facts
• Engagement drivers in challenging times
• How to prioritize key engagement drivers
• How managers can support this

“Ideas are worth Dimes, but well-researched decisions are worth Dollars”

Manufacturers must make a lot of decisions to advance their operations: equipment, processes, people, materials, layouts, workflows, etc.  Supervisors and managers have lots of ideas and suggestions.  How to decide?  There is only so much budget and resources available to make positive change.  Today’s operations need simple but effective data-gathering and analysis techniques from production and support teams to make well-informed decisions.  Experience and gut instinct are useful, but when reinforced by solid data, the best decisions are made.

 

In this Shop Talk, we will cover:

• What is a problem?  (When you need to get data)
• It’s all about Waste; measuring your waste streams
• Understanding the data you have, and identifying the data you don’t have
• How to go about getting useful data
  – “High-level System Data” vs. “Gritty Process Data”
  – The incredible value of tapping into “Experiential Data”
  – Data collection methods
  – Embracing iterative data gathering situations
  – Understanding Control Factors, Noise Factors, and Results Variables
• A month in the life of a Toyota Supervisor—”Life as a series of Trials”
• When to use simple measurements, PDCA, analysis of variation, GR&R, etc.
• The critical decision point when the data does NOT support what you expected
• Putting it all together—becoming a better data-driven decision maker
