A4086.ActivityDescription

This tool allows for the clear and unambiguous definition of the reference framework for a process, document, activity, service, or product, in order to properly contextualize it.
Key Results Solved Problems
Having a framework. Lack of clarity in the operational context.
Support self-training of employees. Errors in processes due to missing references.
Support audits and accreditations. Difficulty in self-training for new collaborators.
Enhance the quality of procedures. Inconsistency between procedures and actual activities.
Contextualize an activity uniquely. Inefficiencies during audits or accreditations.
Generate formal value. Risk of subjective interpretation of activities.

A4074.WorksPreparation

This tool facilitates the optimal preparation of carrying out high- quality activities, inspired by more than 50 practical tips.

Key Results Solved Problems
Having an anticipatory calendar (documenting cyclic activities) Preventable errors
Having an action plan (shared and reusable) Operational inefficiencies
Keeping control of costs, times, and goals Prolonged waiting times
Documenting standardized procedures Management unforeseen events
Minimizing environmental impact: errors, waste, defects Lack of consideration for the environment

  Health and safety risk
  Underutilization of human capital

 

A4084.SupplierStressTest

This tool allows for the evaluation, selection, and enhancement of suppliers, partners, and associates to ensure quality and stability of operations. The tool also offers the possibility to self-evaluate provided performances.

Key Results Solved Problems
Selecting suppliers that meet performance requirements Challenges in finding and selecting suitable suppliers
Evaluating and strengthening supplier activities Variability in the performance offered by suppliers (difficulty in defining a performance rating)
Controlling the reliability of the supply chain and delivery Dependence on third-party performance
Consolidating one’s own production and delivery process Discontinuity in product and service compliance
Verifying the performance received (second-party audits) Obstacles in ensuring the operational continuity of suppliers
Defining expectations and response capabilities objectively Challenges in meeting cost, schedule, and performance quality
Mitigating risks and managing supply interruptions Problems in ensuring compliance with service level agreements
Identifying hidden wastes Variability in one’s performance

A4029.ImprovementActions

This tool offers a methodology for assigning concrete continuous improvement measures to every collaborator (inspired by multiple suggested activities), along with an action and monitoring plan.

Key Results Solved Problems
Implementing the continuous improvement process Irregular progress
Comparing your management methodologies with best practices Few bottom-up initiatives
Optimizing activity execution, inspired by multiple proposals Intermittent application of best practices
Adopting a systematic approach in task execution Inadequate verification of the application of improvement actions
Ensuring that best practices are effectively applied Recurrence of non-conformities
Extending the improvement approach to all company sectors, in compliance with ISO 9001 standards Occasional integration of learnings into processes
Valuing each collaborator’s contribution  
Identifying waste and reducing environmental impact and costs  

 

A4032.NonConformityTreatment

This tool provides a methodology to effectively manage non-conformities, failures, and malfunctions, turning them into opportunities for the organization.

Key Results Solved Problems
Decisively addressing non-compliances, faults, and malfunctions Tendency to accept recurring problems
Distinguishing between improvement and non-compliance Ignoring warning signs
Applying solutions following a scale of effectiveness Adopting temporary or palliative solutions
Documenting correct management practices and legal evidence Omitting the investigation of non-conformity causes
Encouraging a resilient and constant approach Unrealized potential due to errors and discrepancies
Identifying waste and reducing environmental impact and costs  

A4024.LeanActions

This tool facilitates self-evaluation and the identification of interventions to simplify, standardize, and promote organized and cooperative work (among countless suggestions).

Key Results Solved Problems
Streamlining activities and processes for greater agility Tendency to hoard
Identifying waste, reducing its impact and costs Disorganized management of workspaces
Self-assessing to recognize your simplification capabilities Unsynchronized operations
Minimizing search and preparation times Frequent operational and mental disorder
Responding to client requests within the time of a short phone call Repetitions, errors, and waste
Establishing a coordinated and gradual team approach Obstacles in establishing effective collaboration
Appreciating collaborators’ efforts and stimulating self-generated improvement High time spent searching for information and documents
Reducing waste by adopting a subtraction-based mindset
