Sound Familiar?
As Senior Management you've done your preparations. Lean Champions are in-place and ready to assist. And you know your production floor workers can get the job done if they are properly supervised. You are ready to deploy strategic initiatives to the factory floor. Slowly you begin to realize that changes are not happening. Factory floor lean initiatives are not progressing. Bottom line profitability is not getting better as you imagined it would. You know your middle management is struggling to find solutions. The question is what do you do about it. How you answer that question will decide if your business develops world-class solutions to becoming or staying competitive.If You Do What You Always Did - You Get What You Always Got
Factory floors are challenging environments. Your middle management team needs training. Many times middle management have risen through the ranks and have personally achieved a great deal to get where they are. But to lead an enterprise to success and increased profitability often requires from them skills that they don't normally possess. If middle management is not given training, they will always do what they know has worked in the past. The problem is your business and your customers seek better solutions to today's fast changing situations. Old solutions are able to solve new situations less and less.Exceeding Your Customers' Demands
AMC provides focused training for your middle management. Along with our coaching of the steering team, and guidance of the person designated as your Lean Champion, we are able to develop your middle management to a level where they lead change on your factory floor.Going from Supervising to Leading
David Meier, Director of AMC and co-author of The Toyota Way series, writes in his new book "Toyota Talent" that the "common expression heard around Toyota is "We do not just build cars, we build people."
Gaining leadership skills is not as difficult as it may seem, if you equip your middle management with the right kind of training. Just having your managers and supervisors sit in a training room won't achieve the results you seek. You need to get them to be able to see problems, and then act on them. AMC's active and guided lean implementation support trains your middle management in how to see problems and act upon them immediately.
