Capitalizing Operations

33

Capitalize

• Assumption : There are enough sales and we need to manage operations better, i.e. constraint is inside the company.

• Otherwise: • The capability built and the excess capacity revealed must

be capitalized • At appropriate time, signal must be given to sales to

increase orders flow • Sales must use the new found capability and capacity as its

key sales pitch and must make effort to increase margins • The sales practice need to change due to new capability of

the plant.

Operating the System

37

Revisit: Fundamentals of business

• Objective: To offer and grow the offering with time (Sustainable growth)

– The quantum of offering is always with time. • The value must be captured and reinvested

– Only then a business is sustainable i.e. the business must make profit, more profit and faster profit.

For Entrepreneurs:

What is your order to cash time? What is your process lead time?

38

Revisit: Fundamentals of business

• Prime Goal: Faster # Units/time

• Speed / efficiency/ productivity is essence

• But efficiency without Effectiveness is unsustainable

• Effectiveness is doing what is needed NOW.

For Entrepreneurs: What does effectiveness mean in your business. How do you know which work order to process. How do you prioritize work orders. 39

Limitations to Flow

• There are too many things…

• Material Not available, people not availability, absenteeism, no capacity, defective parts, insufficient skills, break downs, holidays, quality problems, no orders, too much of orders, shut down, strike, long testing time, rework, pending for decision, management bandwidth, traffic jam, fllood

• hence we need a methodology, that gives us ever flourishing company, without confusion, easily, without exhausting costly resources, without taking risk, without creating imbalance in work-life.

40

Laws of Operations Standing On the Shoulders of Giant: Eli Goldratt

• Law-1: – Objective of Operations is to ever improve flow

• Law-2 – Do not over produce or over create before time

• Law-3 – Have single priority system

• Law-4 – Have a focused mechanism to deal with

disruptions.

41

For Entrepreneurs

• How do you prevent doing of work that is not needed.

• How do you set priority

• How do you identify where to improve ?

42

Dealing with Limitations to Flow

• Flow Blockers and Disruptions – Systemic

• Cause and Effect Analysis

• Identification of Root Cause

• Building of Solution

• Implementation of Solution

• Transformation

– Assignable • Segregation of Causes

• Pareto

• Actions

43

Practices in World Class Organizations

• Principles – TQM : Quality – TPM: Maintenance – Just in Time (JIT) – Extreme Programming – Agile Operations – Employee involvement – Simplicity

• Methodology – Lean : Waste Reduction – Six Sigma : Variation – TOC : System Improvement – Extreme / Agile Programming

44

Your way to Operation Excellence

• Commit to Change • Lead Change • Follow a Focusing Mechanism (Theory of

Constraints) • Identify the weakest link • Synchronize your organization around the

weakest link • Acquire skills needed to strengthen the weakest

link. • Move to the next weakest link
