“I especially value Tark Tööstus’s focus on seeing and finding ways to put the company’s resources to better work for growing the business, that is, their work does not include nice-to-have developments but applications that bring real benefit to the company.”

Dashed: missing

An example: some systems are missing. The data sits in several places.

Steps

  1. Plan

    We walk through the process with the people doing the work. We map tasks, owners, tools and information flow.

    Who? From what? With what? For whom? Where? What? How much? How well? Pace Customer Project Order Operator Material Tool Location Activity Work Product Version Cost Quality Speed
    We link jobs to operators, materials, tools and customers.

  2. Act

    Together, we choose an improvement and metric that serve the business goal. Options: work practices, existing systems, connected data or a new tool.

  3. Measure

    We test the change at work. We compare results with the baseline. We refine it with staff.
