Based on Peter Drucker “There’s nothing so useless as doing effectively what shouldn’t be done whatsoever.” With developments in technology, we currently be capable of automate more processes than in the past. As I am an advocate of applied technology, another rule is applicable, “Don’t automate what you don’t have to do.” Indeed, computer systems can process more transactions and faster than in the past. But this extremely powerful processing might be quite useless.
I remember when i consulted having a heavy equipment manufacturer. With this project we wanted participation from production control personnel to have an important improvement project. However, these folks were scrambling to keep all of the transactions flowing through their system. Because the inevitable glitches hit, they went into expedite mode. To complicate matters, the greater they expedited, the greater glitches made an appearance and also the more they have to expedite. They appeared to become caught inside a vicious circle.
While awaiting them, we examined an average bill of fabric. On impulse, we counted the amount of products around the bill of fabric and tabulated the worthiness. We chose a random break reason for $one in total price. The outcomes were amazing. A minimum of 85% from the products around the bill of fabric led under $1 each to the all inclusive costs. The all inclusive costs of those products was under $500 or under 1% of the all inclusive costs. Whenever we applied these bits of information towards the production control system, we recognized that they are speeding up all large amount of transactions which had hardly any value.
Was mtss is a situation where these were doing something very effectively that shouldn’t be done whatsoever? We thought so. We suggested progressively applying a Kanban system and stopping production control monitoring of small value components.
Really, a Kanban system was just one possible alternative. Some companies have specialized suppliers manage selected goods by themselves shop floor. These specialists be aware of components well. They are able to relieve the business’s own personnel to the things they’re doing best and increase the value towards the process. That which was the price of some theoretically over stock? That which was the price in technology and personnel to process each one of these low value transactions?
No business with no discipline are exempt from taking Peter Drucker’s advice. Technology makes a lot more possible. But we still need have a take a step back and evaluate what we are doing and why we all do it. Nothing could be more lucrative than preventing a really efficient but useless practice. These situations abound. Every company must re-consider the things they’re doing and why.
