You are in the right place if an increase in output would help, but you need to control costs
- System output is much lower than it could be, despite our best efforts to focus on our bottlenecks
- Costs appear to be too high due to excess spending on meeting customer performance promises
- Customer-facing performance measures get compromised, due to operations inflexibility
- What makes sense to operations does not make sense to accounting, and vice versa
- Improvement projects fail to produce a rapid jump in performance
- Too often local measures mean that one department pays the price whilst another gets the benefits of any given improvement
- Project scopes are often expanded to include unnecessary departmental improvements
With Solution Paradigms, you will:
- Declare a prime candidate that more than any other, limits the rate of system output
- Align supervisor intuition with the concept of there being a system flow constraint
- Align performance-to-customer measures with Profit and Loss measures
- Make clear the target improvement system/subsystem, and its boundaries
- Safely decouple functions where a significant change in reporting line occurs
With Solution Paradigms, you will ensure that any side effects of the change will be worth it!
While implementing Solution Paradigms, you will address the following common concerns people have. For example:
- Many resources appear to be overloaded, we can’t see the constraint for the ‘wandering’ bottlenecks
- Too often local measures mean that one department pays the price whilst another gets the benefits
- Many claimed improvements do not, or are slow to, translate into organisational benefit (e.g. sales, profit…)
Let’s get started!
