Team Faber strongly believes that World Class Manufacturing (WCM) practices or as we
call it Operational Excellence (OE) practices always help organizations to be more
effective and efficient and in turn helps them to perform better. In this field of WCM /
OE, team Faber has several modules that can be customized to build and sustain high-
performing teams.
Let us look at the fundamental principles of World Class Manufacturing:
Flow Management
Material or information flow improvement can be achieved via traditional yet
powerful Value Stream Mapping (VSM) tool. The aim is to identify every non-value
adding activity and all inefficiencies in the process and to reduce/ eliminate it. It
is done using Current and Future State maps.
Equipment Management
Machine health is as important as managing the human resource. Equipment
management ensures that the machines are up and running and are performing
at rated capacity and quality levels. This is delivered by Team Faber by deploying
elements from the house of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) like
Autonomous Maintenance (PM), Planned Maintenance (PM), Kobetsu Kaizen
(KK) and measurement matrices like Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE),
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR).
Sustenance Management
All the above can be achieved, but what is important and difficult is making OE a
part of organizations culture. As the organizations start reaping gains with OE
practices, it needs to understand that it is not a one-time process, it needs to be
a continuous activity. 90% of the organizations which start structured
improvement initiative complain that they do implement OE tools but sustenance
has always been an issue. To solve this issue of sustenance, Team Faber helps
client teams with Daily work Management (DWM) framework. DWM is a
methodology that focuses on preserving and improving the performance of an
organizations productivity, quality, cost, delivery, safety, and morale.
To conclude I would like to quote Benjamin Franklin- Whenever you are finished
Changing, you are finished. So watch out for the change, accept it, work on it and sail
smoothly in this competitive world.
