The well-worn phrase ‘ You cannot improve what you don ’ t measure ’ could also include ‘ You can ’ t improve what you can ’ t see ’.
Direct Transformation Costs from Inputs to Outputs
You might be very clear on what you want to achieve during the coming year , but do you have total visibility of production operations , in real time ? You might personally be blessed with 20:20 vision , but unless you can see precisely what is happening right now , within your production operations , then it is hard to see how you can expect to achieve your objectives .
The well-worn phrase ‘ You cannot improve what you don ’ t measure ’ could also include ‘ You can ’ t improve what you can ’ t see ’
Real-time information , instantly displayed across integrated networks and also constantly displayed upon large TV screens in the production area , means that the whole operational team , from top floor to shop floor , see the same information and have the same opportunity to make improvements in real time - no more guess work .
