In our most recent blog we look at the fourth (of 15) main KPA that forms part of an Operational Excellence programme - Communication.
Effective Communication
Effective communication can have an enormous positive impact on a manufacturing company’s productivity, profits, and workplace attitude. The benefits can include:
Reduced risk in the workplace
Greater efficiency in production
Improved cohesion and engagement
Internal Behaviours
With communication having such an influence over the business, when assessing your internal behaviours, you need to consider if you brief your employees regularly about business topics and vital information. Management should listen and respond to feedback and suggestions from employees and undertake regular motivational/attitude surveys. Employees should be consulted about any major decisions or initiatives that may affect them and be given a platform to voice their opinions.
Overcome Challenges
Communication can often become an ongoing and intractable problem but if this is addressed head on, then challenges can be overcome with a thoughtful, strategic and well-planned approach.
If you are looking to transform your manufacturing productivity, then you may need help in establishing effective communication.
The first step to achieving this is by completing an Operational Excellence programme.
