Which of These Problems are Undermining Your Operations?

You are deploying resources to solve problems, but are they the right problems?

Are you uncertain that your resources are addressing the problems that have the greatest impact on your bottom line? Are you unsure about your management organization’s ability to set and meet clear strategic goals? Are you having difficulty leveraging success across the entire organization?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you are suffering from unfocused resource management, and you are probably all too familiar with the consequences:

  • Costs are soaring.
  • Customers are dissatisfied and profits are declining.
  • Isolated problem solving or prevention successes do not carry over to improve other processes or products.
  • Problems recur due to misidentification of their root cause.

You are designing a product or manufacturing process,
but will it work?

To an outsider, design must seem straightforward. You simply figure out what the product or process is supposed to do, design the pieces to fit together, and then, they will function as designed. Right? Wrong! Anyone who has worked in design knows that misunderstood or overlooked features are often the cause of products and processes that do not function as intended. Here are some signs that your development process is suffering from these problems:

  • The customer is the first to discover poor quality.
  • It is the end user who validates product reliability.
  • Product development is costly and time consuming.
  • You operate in a crisis culture — reacting to problems, not preventing them.

You have a product and/or manufacturing process problem,
but are you sure you can find and confirm it is true root cause?

It is every manufacturer’s nightmare. Something is wrong in your product or manufacturing process. You may not even know what the problem is, or maybe you have identified the problem but do not know how to control it. Either way the consequences are disastrous:

  • Reliability problems are plaguing your product driving up warranty costs and hurting your reputation.
  • Reliability problems persist in spite of multiple design fixes.
  • Quality spills result in customer complaints and product returns.
  • Quality control efforts lead to excessive, non-value-added inspection costs.
  • Chronic or recurring problems increase costs and reduce capacity.
  • Crises shut down or cripple your plant, causing missed product shipments.

You have a problem within an existing business process. Are you sure you are treating the true root cause “disease” and not just treating “symptoms”?

Business processes, especially “legacy systems,” that evolved over a long period of time, tend to be very complex, multi-tiered, and are “intertwined” with other complex business processes. You need to be sure that the correct, most cost-efficient and resource-efficient permanent “fix” will be identified and put in place. If this does not happen, some consequences are:

  • New problems arise as incomplete “patches” are installed which have an unforeseen negative impact upon another organization or business process.
  • System complexity increases when new “patches” are required to counteract the negative impact of previous “patches.”
  • No one fully understands the inter-relationships and interactions between the systems.

You are improving an existing business process, designing a new one, or seeking to prevent installation surprises. Are you sure you thought of everything?

You are making a change to your business process. On the surface it appears to be a simple task, but when you realize how many other organizations and business processes your process interacts with, the task becomes daunting. What if you overlook something in the design? You need to be able to anticipate and prevent those problems.

What if the business process / IT application has already been designed, but you are dreading the installation? How often have past installations really been “turn-key”? If you have a way to anticipate installation problems, you can prevent them.

What if an internal or external organization is designing a new IT system for your organization? How can you be certain that they truly understand your needs and requirements and capture the full scope of work? You need a way to assure that all concerned parties have the same level of understanding and you are certain that what you specify is what you will receive.

The consequences of any of the above are costly:

  • Some critical functional elements are left out, or your business process no longer links to other essential business processes, as required.
  • Cost and timing overruns result from having to repair installed systems that do not function as intended.
  • “Repair” drains any budget that was currently ear-marked for additional system improvements.
  • The organization is required to support two systems until problems are resolved.
