Operational Excellence | Skills
In our most recent blog we look at the seventh (of 15) main KPA that forms part of an Operational Excellence programme - Operational Skills and Development.
Growth and Progress
Employers are responsible for the growth and progress of their employees and must remain abreast with the requirements of the law and health and safety regulations.
Creating a Capable Workforce
Employer-endorsed skills development has an important role to play in the future of any industry. Employers who invest in their staff are more likely to have a team that is loyal, be able to create new opportunities (both internally and externally) and, by employing skills development, create a capable workforce equipped with the tools they need to excel.
Individuals should have targets and their performance regularly appraised. Time needs to be allocated for training and regular team activities undertaken.
Review Regularly
Employee development requirements can change, and employers should undertake regular reviews to ensure that employee development plans continue to meet the needs of their business and its staff. Human resource is one of the most important aspects of any business and trained personnel are an extremely valuable asset in the promotion of a safe and efficient working environment.
Training Matrix
As part of an Operational Excellence assessment, to establish any gaps that your organisation has with regard to operations skills and development, we will check that procedures are in place to ensure the correct training is being provided and recorded and that a training matrix for your team is available.
If you are looking to transform your manufacturing productivity, then you may need help in establishing an effective operational skills and development programme.
The first step to achieving this is by completing an Operational Excellence programme.
