A one day program on Building Manufacturing Competitiveness

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The objective of this program is to give an insight on an approach to build breakthrough competitiveness for a Manufacturing Company. The program intends to take organizations on the path of rapidly implementing their strategies to increase revenues and sales through a superlative operational performance.
Since, time is the biggest constraint and competition is ever fiercer, organizations need to master responsiveness as their key weapon and be ahead in the race. However, a higher degree of responsiveness in an ever changing business conditions can only be achieved with a focused approach in delivering what the market demands.
Theory of Constraints (TOC) as a focussing mechanism & proven methodology, recognizes aspects of today's external and internal requirements, and provides a direction to organizations in rapidly building a sustainable operating culture of excellence.
The concept is based on the fact, very few variables (the constraints) limit the performance of a plant and the key is to focus and manage these constraints effectively to achieve higher shop floor performance.
This Program will expose the audience to a robust solution to build a high responsive Production System & a rapid Product Development function for a sustainable business growth.
