Understanding and Improving Performance
This short awareness course is a practical and powerful way to help you discover how you can influence higher performance. It’s an ideal introduction to improving productivity.
When you are responsible for activities using resources such as people, space and equipment, you will be accountable for their performance and cost. So how do you establish and manage existing performance levels, identify restricting factors and more importantly, determine and action the opportunities to improve?
We discuss ways of assessing the effective performance of resources. You will learn how to gauge individual performance and consider the many factors that cause waste and add cost.
The concept of work content and standard times, effective methods, Lean principles and standard performance will all be described and discussed.
Performance is often a consequence of decisions taken within a business, so this course will help you develop a better understanding of what you can do to influence higher performance and recognise it’s not just about working harder. Time and Motion will take on a different meaning!
