In this article, we will explore various dimensions of ‘understanding the current challenges and building improvement focussed culture in organisation’.
CHALLENGES FACED BY ORGANISATIONS
Any small and medium-sized manufacturing organisation today is facing various challenges which are both internal and external in nature. These challenges, if not understood and addressed properly, can become major obstacles in day to day operation and that will have serious impact on organisation performance and results.
Most of the manufacturing organisations are facing these challenges in varied intensity and time depending on business model and industry segment. These challenges are mapped in a system dynamic model, which is based on learning “from Five Step Discovery Process” by Prof Shiba.
NEED FOR AN IMPROVEMENT FOCUSSED CULTURE IN ORGANISATIONS
Organisations are going through a series of challenges, and management needs to focus on handling these challenges to sustain the performance. These challenges are ongoing in nature and need a continuous focus and systematic approach to handle. It is observed that some of the organisations follow a fire-fighting approach to handle these challenges and take measures only when things go wrong. On the other hand, some organisations deploy systematic way of handling these challenges and have gained sustained performance levels. The nature and scope of challenges is spread across the width and depth of organisations and needs involvement of all levels of management including operators.
