Why is it important to share?
1. The WCM principles can be applied anywhere.
2. Guaranteed sustainable results?
“Focus always bring results” > WCM add “over the top”
focus on sustainability.
3. Low skill levels and limited resources?
> WCM becomes even more effective.
4. Discipline and productivity problems?
> WCM Discipline, Prioritisation and Execution.
5. Easy and low cost option relative to other
management initiatives.

WCM Introduction
“WCM (World-Class-Manufacturing) is our
management system.”
WCM Definition: To practice WCM is to seek for
the continuous improvement of the overall
effectiveness of the organization by eliminating
the causes of losses in the production systems
through the implementation of activities called
Pillars.

value.
Our goal is zero harm > daily Zero

Yearly Routine to Identifying
major losses and allocate
most suitable WCM team to
take action based on root
causes.

WCM foundation:
Management Infrastructure
WCM use a Management Infrastructure (MI) of formal
strategies, structures, processes, methodologies
and systems (the “hard” side of the organisation) to
impact behavioural change. Experience now
becomes a better teacher than logical argument
which results in sustainable behaviour (culture) change.

WCM Culture Link no 1:
A Culture of:
“World-Class Results.”
How:
Cost-Deployment: “Zero-Loss” Targets
Management Infrastructure:
[“Expose” results (good and bad) at all levels]
Transparent management controls
Visual management
WCM Coaching & Audits:
Independent audits: Bronze > Silver > Gold > World-Class
Internal audits: Dedicated internal WCM team

WCM Culture Link no 2:
A Culture of:
“This is the way we do things.”
How:
“WCM is our Management System” (Everything & Everybody)
No more “New flavour of the month / year”.
“New initiative” is just another step in the journey towards world-
class > it can always fit into one of the pillars.
Pillar methodologies:
Disciplined with supporting structures, templates and tools.
Management Infrastructure:
Standardisation focus > Sustainable over time and people
WCM Culture Link no 3:
A Culture of:
“Discipline.”
How:
Pillar methodologies:
S&H Pillar > Focus on shared vigilance.
5S (Sort&Discard – Shine – Simplify – Standardise – Sustain)
AM Pillar > Restore and maintain basic conditions first.
Repair “small anomalies” before “major defects”.
Standards
Management Infrastructure
Control Items visible to all & My Task management.
WCM Culture Link no 4:
A Culture of:
“Prioritisation.”
How:
Cost Deployment:
Yearly Loss analysis > WCM is a proven, effective way to focus
limited resources on the most critical equipment or area which
delivers faster results.
Abnormality management
Daily management “Triggers” per area initiate proper root-cause
analysis which link to WCM pillar methodologies.
Management Infrastructure
My Task management & Management support
WCM Culture Link no 4:
A Culture of:
“Prioritisation.”
It is not about how many tasks are
“waiting”, it is about how many priority
tasks are executed efficiently.
Make it easy for Individuals to showcase
their worth.
WCM Culture Link no 5:
A Culture of:
“People Development.”
How:
Pillar Methodologies:
WCM projects always end with PD
Visual Management
People Development profiles:
Standards & One-Point-Lessons (OPL)
Gap-analysis & training
Management Infrastructure:

How:
Pillar methodologies
H&S (Zero-Harm is a core value)
AM & PM (Basic Conditions & Brilliant Operation and Maintenance)
Other Pillars (Brilliant Quality, Customer service etc.)
PD (Brilliant standards, procedures & application of knowledge)
FI (Becomes the “2nd” option and not the “1st”)
Management Infrastructure
Brilliant execution through PDCA (individual 1st).
Brilliant Management support (1st) and then control.
“WCM Culture”:
1. World-Class Results.
2. This is the way we do things.
3. Discipline.
4. Prioritisation.
5. People Development.
6. Support.
7. PDCA (Quality Execution).
8. Being Brilliant at the Basics 1st.
Key Take away points
1. Become brilliant at the basics 1st and be
amazed at the results.
2. Sustain this and improve further by making
PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) “real” and lean.
3. The ultimate goal is “brilliant” individual
PDCA > It is not about how many tasks are
“waiting”, it is about how many priority
tasks are executed efficiently per
individual.
