MASTER-CLASS by Richard J. Schonberger
Manufacturing Best Practices:
Surviving and Thriving in a Hyper-Competitive World
Title
Thursday, 1 November 2012 – 0930-1300 hours
Vivanta by Taj, Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore
CII Institute of Quality is pleased to announce a half-a-day MasterClass on “Manufacturing Best Practices: Surviving and Thriving in aHyper-Competitive World” scheduled on 1st November 2012 atVivanta by Taj, Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore by Richard Schonberger,Ph.D., is president of Schonberger & Associates of Seattle,providing seminars and advisory services to industrial and serviceorganizations worldwide (brief profile attached).
Objective
The Master class focuses on “best practices” in manufacturing,extending downstream in distribution to retailing and to customers.The inputs are drawn from his “leanness” database on globaltrends, in continuous process improvement, driven by suchmethodologies as Lean and Six Sigma. Participation in thisprogramme would provide opportunity, for senior managers andprofessionals in manufacturing and downstream functions, to learnfrom experience- and research-based best practices for thriving in ahyper-competitive world. The concepts and methodologiespresented emphasize customer-focused outcomes that requirechanges in conventional practices in Production engineering,Operations, Supply Chain, Human Resource Management,Performance management, Marketing and Sales, Accounting etc.Largely, these best practices require simplification not elaboration,and cost-saving rather than capital-intensive solutions.
Master class will cover:
�Driving process improvement where it’s been neglected and itsuntapped potential is significantly high —in the cloggedlogistics channels.
�Simplification through de-proliferation of “losers” that tie upcapacity (money-losing part numbers, products, suppliers,even customers).
�Modifying unsound policies/ constraints that lock-up productiveequipment/ resources to enable quick and small-lot response.
�Gravitating towards efficient and effective performancemanagement practices that are light-handed and intensive atlow levels.
Overall, these are cost saving, overhead-reducing responses thatneutralize major impediments to process excellence throughout thevalue chain.
TargetAudience
This Master Class offers best practices in the overall executive’sagenda. CEOs, Directors, Heads of SBUs, CXOs, V.Ps, PlantManagers and Senior Managers involved in different functions suchas Manufacturing, Quality, HR, Finance and Accounting, Supply
Chain, Process Improvement Programmes etc. will find the inputsquite stimulating and rewarding to initiate improvement actions intheir organisations on return.
Takeaways
Attending the Master Class would enable the delegates to gain abroader understanding/ perspective on how to unify the differentactivities/processes to effectively address the cause of serving thecustomer of the enterprise. Related to that, one develops a deeperunderstanding of the impediments in the way of continuous processimprovement, and how to deal with them.
Participation Fee:
The fee includes 12.36% service tax.
Members are requested to make use of this unique MASTERCLASS and also nominate their colleagues to attend the same.

Excellence pervades success. In business, Excellence means the ability to replicate success time and again thereby achievingsustainable success. This repeatable success is to be attributed tothe ability of the Organization to show consistent, predictable andcomprehensive success amongst all its stakeholders such asCustomers, People, Investors, society, interested parties etc acrossrelevant parameters. This would also mean that the Organizationsets new heights in its performance and constantly monitors andbetters competition.
How do Organizations do this? While there are various ways ofdoing this, The 9 Box EFQM Excellence model with its RADARoffers a systematic way of moving towards excellence whichensures maturity of the processes and results so that they can besustained over time.
One of the many proven way is as listed below.• Develop the Vision statement in line with its stated Mission
which articulates its stated purpose or line of business.• Develop and agree on a strategy linked to its envisioned f
uture.• Arrive at the set of balanced results across its stakeholders for
now and the future considering the strategy as well as needsand expectations of stakeholders.
• Identify the critical success factors needed to succeed after anenvironmental scan and its own competencies based on themarkets it operates.
• Prepare a process map encompassing all processes of theOrganization.
• Identify the Key processes from the map linking the criticalsuccess factors leading to the achievement of its StrategicObjectives.
• Develop indicators for monitoring the performance of the KeyProcesses.
• Drive / Develop initiatives which focus on the delivery,improvement of the Key Processes.
While the Key processes are important to deliver the strategy andthe intended objectives, adequate focus also needs to be given tothe Support processes which aid in the achievement of theobjectives. Support processes include IT, Technology, Finance,supply chain partners, resources such as material, equipment,other assets and not to forget knowledge management. Needless tosay, People are central to driving these and can also be deemed asresources that should be trained, competent and are to be takencare of by involving, empowering and also caring for them.
Steering a company towards Excellence also requires a structurewith a prime mover in the Organization preferably the CEO. Thisstructure can vary depending on the complexity, culture, anddynamics of the Organization.
CII- IQ offers support to Organizations wanting to implement thismodel by way of Training, Consulting, Assessments of varioustypes and also has an Award scheme which helps Organizationsassesses their pace of progress by way of recognition at differentlevels.
