The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Production System specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...

Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 994 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Production System improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 994 standard requirements:


1. Do you conduct a production test of standby information systems on the backup site periodically in order to ensure smooth switching to the backup site in case of production system failure?
   
   

2. Why is it essential to understand the manufacturing strategy of your organization before applying industrial engineering techniques to the redesign of a production system?
   
   

3. Do you take the new business data, put it in the data warehouse, and when the production system needs it, go to that data warehouse to get it?
   
   

4. Is it possible to build a data warehouse to be used by users for analytics and also as the central data repository to feed production systems?
   
   

5. How can a systems engineering approach be applied to the project delivery process in the design and construction of built infrastructure?
   
   

6. What kind of changes is required to be addressed while implementing lean production system, as you have experienced in your organization?
   
   

7. How do you reconcile regimented work with the experimentation and concern for individuals that is supposed to be a part of the system?
   
   

8. How do you solve the challenge of ensuring access to HCM production data in non production systems for testing, training and support?
   
   

9. Does coordination of physical and information flow in a lean production system lead to improvements in the operation productivity?
   
   

10. Will a software organization or the end customer know how to effectively move from design, to prototyping, to production systems?

Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:


1. Requirements Documentation: What is the risk associated with cost and schedule?
   
   

2. Activity Duration Estimates: Do procedures exist that identify when and how human resources are introduced and removed from the Production System project?
   
   

3. Schedule Management Plan: Can additional resources be added to subsequent tasks to reduce the durations of the already stated tasks?
   
   

4. Project Schedule: To what degree is do you feel the entire team was committed to the Production System project schedule?
   
   

5. Procurement Management Plan: How will you coordinate Procurement with aspects of the Production System project?
   
   

6. Planning Process Group: Is the identification of the problems, inequalities and gaps, with respective causes, clear in the Production System project?
   
   

7. Procurement Audit: Could bidders learn all relevant information straight from the tender documents?
   
   

8. Change Request: Why were your requested changes rejected or not made?
   
   

9. Procurement Audit: Was the overall procurement done within a reasonable time?
   
   

10. Project or Phase Close-Out: What stakeholder group needs, expectations, and interests are being met by the Production System project?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Production System project with this in-depth Production System Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose Production System projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in Production System and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Production System investments work better.

This Production System All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
