Manufacturing Excellence. Delivered.

That is the tagline of the consulting business I am officially starting today. After more than 20 years in different international companies in the operations and manufacturing world, I am excited to use this experience to help other companies improve their performance.

When you Google for "manufacturing excellence", most of the entries you will find will focus on six sigma or lean. Or better still, lean sigma. Services around manufacturing excellence will highlight the benefits of whatever method the consulting company believes in, and state that all your pains can be solved with this method (and this method only).

Yet, in my experience, it is not the toolbox that makes the master. It is on the contrary, the team, and how this team gels and works every day to achieve the company's goals. In this respect, I like the following very simple but profound quote from Dr Alex Bennet (phrased as a hypothesis, with original stress):

The performance of your organization every day depends completely upon what every individual in your organization does that day.

The performance of the organization depends on what every individual does. Not on a few specialists focusing on a six sigma initiative, or another team working on a lean project. No, it really is about how all employees, every single day, perform to ensure the company reaches its objectives.

The second focus is on "does". It is about the action each employee takes. It is only action that can change the performance of the organization.

That, for me, is what manufacturing excellence is about: having a team that takes action every day to reach the company's objectives. And I intend to help organization in South-East Asia reaching those objectives.
