Which other sectors have improved productivity by 50% in ten years? Who will take up the challenge to match or surpass it in the next ten years?<br /><br />Imagine that for a second, if a job took an 1 hour to complete 100units, you now get 150, or it takes 40 mins to do the same 100 units, a 33% improvement in input cost.<br /><br />Imagine if other sectors could match that? Services, Professional services, Government, Local councils etc<br /><br />As for support for Manufacturing it was good to see the Government announce the £50M continuation of the Manufacturing Advisory Service, MAS, prior to Christmas and asking for input to the review of advanced manufacturing. Have a look at the BIS website for details. <br /><br />Now we need to get manufacturers to look beyond the shop floor into marketing, sales, finance, development, purchasing etc to see how continuous improvement can really be organisation wide.<br /><br />Regards<br />Mark @theleanmanagerUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398418579059165425noreply@blogger.com
