I have talked here before about the danger in concentrating on speed of operation as the primary focus of improvement efforts. It can, for example mean a drop in quality…. and it can mean a team or line becomes unbalanced.
What we should try to do is to improve the speed of an entire unit or process – making sure the trees is working with s single purpose in pursuit of agreed aims and objectives.
All members of three teams should share the same mindset – we work together and we support each other.
(If mutual support cannot be provided, you may have to put in some external stimulus)but make sure this is seen as encouragement rather than as punishment.)
Team development is one key to success
