TAKING ACTION
The second and final day of the workshop applies the lessons of the Game to the "real world." Action Teams are formed to give participants a way to apply the newly gained knowledge and enthusiasm.

The Teams develop action plans to eliminate defects from a system of equipment or a process. Making "real world" improvements to equipment or processes at their facility allows participants to practice proactive behavior and to develop proactive habits.

Successful Action Teams provide the quick payback many companies require to move to world class operations.
"You can see right away, that you have to work as a team. If you let defects go, they're going to come back around and get you."

A SHARED VISION
Creating the culture to become world class in reliability requires more than a few people with a new perspective and certainly more than just a workshop for the leadership team.

World class reliability requires hundreds of people doing thousands of little things correctly everyday. And, to create such a manufacturing environment requires a concerted effort and shared vision by all participants.

The Manufacturing Game® is especially effective in assisting companies reach world class reliability when it is:
  • used with a majority of a site's front line people
  • combined with solid leadership support and communications
  • focused on the value of improved reliability rather than just maintenance cost.
