Benchmarking (BMKG) is a systematic way to identify, understand, and creatively evolve superior products, services, designs, equipment, processes, and practices to improve your organization’s real performance. It’s a system for identifying other organizations and comparing their methods and results to another organization’s methods and results. It is a means for allowing best practices to move thru the organization very rapidly.
Project Management is more important today than ever before. Cross-functional teams are leading the way toward organizational gains, and project methodology has been implemented in the top 1000 organizations around the world. As organizations become leaner, managers are expected to achieve greater gains with smaller teams, less money, and more critical time constraints and to deliver greater accuracy the first time around. Those who fully utilize project management avoid costly mistakes, and obtain the best effects for project success. This course is designed to not only review the phases of project management, but to also drill down into detail through case studies and practical applications.
Designed for all levels of management, team leaders, team facilitators, and for those who would like to learn more about the topic, this two-day workshop presents a complete overview of Employee Involvement (EI) and the strategies and efforts necessary to make it successful.
This three-day workshop for managers is designed to begin the Systematic Participative Management process at the top of your organization. This change then filters down through your management system as executives become involved in the improvement process, and are encouraged to use problem-solving tools before implementing them at the hourly level. The emphasis is on experiential learning.
Two major educational groups recently declared that “in education, employment, income, health, longevity, and other basic measures of individual and social well-being, gaps persist – and in some cases are widening – between members of minority groups and majority population,” and that “if we allow these disparities to continue, the United States inevitably will suffer compromised quality of life and a lower standard of living.”
Team participation should never occur until the management team is totally participating in the improvement process, if you don’t want the employees to believe they are being manipulated. Management must provide visible evidence of the company’s thorough commitment to a policy of preventing problems rather than reacting to them.

Leading a manufacturing operation through the transition to Just-in-Time (JIT) is a challenging and rewarding experience for it, of necessity, involves dealing with many people, technologies, and existing conditions. The reward is experiencing the changed attitudes and seeing the employees working together to attack problems in a positive, “can do” frame of mind. The results are tangible and financial and provide much improved working environments.

This class is directed at developing a partner relationship with an organization’s suppliers. Purchased material costs average 50% of the sales dollar for manufacturers in the U.S. Effective management of this resource is essential for growth and profitability. New approaches designed to reduce total cycle times, costs, and improve the quality and service received from suppliers rapidly are replacing traditional methods of procuring goods and services.
With the increased emphasis on employee participation and teamwork, effective team leadership is more important than ever. This three-day workshop teaches anyone who is or will be leading employee teams the necessary skills for making Employee Improvement (EI) team efforts successful.
This basic five-day workshop is designed to educate management in new approaches and to provide a framework for implementing a program for change. Topics of discussion include supply chain management concepts and key issues related to developing change strategies suitable for your company’s specific situation.
When launching a quality improvement initiative in a service organization, companies too often turn to models from the world of manufacturing – models that did not serve manufacturing well. Neither last chance inspection-type quality controls, nor volunteers-only quality circles, will enable your firm to take full advantage of the potential already on your payroll.

A business case captures the reason for initiating a project or program. It is most often presented in a well-structured written document; however, in some cases, it also may come in the form of a short verbal agreement or presentation. The logic of the business case is that whatever resources, such as money or effort, are consumed, they should be in support of a specific business need or opportunity.
Eliminating all of the non-value adding wastes through the creative power of all workers by focusing on customer service is the essence of Lean manufacturing. Your customer is the next person or process that receives your work and the customer should not have to pay for defects, moving things, wasted motion, inspection, set-up time, excess inventory and waiting. The fastest way to adding value is to enlist, empower, and involve every worker in the creative improvement process. Just stop and ask your employees, “What do you think? How would you make your work easier and more interesting? How would you improve customer service? How would you improve the quality of your products?”
