How to improve output
Tip #1: Make sure you have a system in place to help you identify inefficiencies and problems. The better your system is at identifying problems, the quicker you are able to correct them. Continuously solving these inefficiencies and problems helps to improve the process and increase outputs. Your system could involve technology or be human driven.
Tip #2: Reduce and divide the manufacturing flow into distinct processes and procedures (work cells). By doing this you are able to more closely examine the process and determine where inefficiencies might exist. By making the tasks as simple as possible you help eliminate confusion and errors. The more repetitive in nature the process is the more efficient you become at that specific task. Work cells also help to determine if the slow down per say is actually in the task itself or the transfer between tasks. Tip #4: Find individuals who work well together as a team. If you have a team that works well together then your output and efficiency increases. Anytime you have drama or issues between members of a team, you risk slow down in output due to those issues.You might have to rotate people around to find the best grouping of individuals. Tip #5: Decrease Scrap. Depending upon the type of manufacturing processes your company involves, your methods and abilities to do these will vary. You want to try to eliminate having excess wherever you can. Tip #8: Provide real-time feedback. You want to make sure that your results and issues that occur on the floor and in work areas are relayed back to your personnel in a timely manner. The longer you wait to address wastefulness or inefficiencies the greater chance you have of those incorrect procedures or issues to become more deeply rooted and difficult to get rid of. These are just a few suggestions to help you get started. You should make a good list of all the areas you think need improvement and ways in which they might be more efficient. Try them all. It never hurts to attempt new ideas in an effort to make your work areas more economical.
