Many
companies would like to use internal projects to optimize their
logistics. When understanding and acceptance are lacking on the
employee level however, a "Systems Engineering" concept week can
help.
In several short seminar blocks and workshops, management games as
well as tools for process analysis are employed to quickly develop
approaches for complete logistics systems.
The advantage is obvious. Involving employees in the decision-making
process increases understanding and acceptance of upcoming processes
of change.
Concept weeks can be organized extremely variably. Whatever the
variety of problems, a concept week should be geared toward the
following basic elements.
Problem Analysis
There are no problems, only tasks and objectives. Defining and
analyzing these, is the first task. Together with you, we formulate
the individual contents of "Systems Engineering" concept weeks. As
soon as we have worked out the system parameters, you assemble the
project team.
From the very beginning, make sure the spectrum is as wide as
possible in order to cover all potentials for ideas your employees
have.
Also remember to include the works council. In this way, you avoid
unnecessary conflict and eliminate biases.
Management Game of Process
Thinking
Even
if it’s old hat: Logistics-oriented means process oriented. Playing
a management game about process orientation has proven to be a good
start to a concept week. It reveals the disadvantages of functional
and territorial thinking and demonstrates how process-oriented
company organization can be introduced.
Train as many employees as possible to be "process thinkers".
Activate the process of rethinking and uncover you company’s
logistics potentials.
Workshop for Process
Analysis
Only those who know their processes can change them. In order to
optimize information and material flows, processes must first be
organized related to logistics. The process analysis reveals gaps,
which are primarily in interfaces that are not neatly defined and
processes that are not value-adding.
Together with you, we formulate a
TARGET concept of what the processes of a logistics-oriented company
would have to look like.
Management Game of Teaching
Methods
Teaching how to apply methods
is not so difficult. Really understanding them is. Especially
in logistics, methodology is often taught as if directly out of a
textbook. The consequences are concepts, which are not lived,
methods, which function only in theory, and tools, which remain
unused.
A management game seminar makes a
logistics method understandable for the
participants by mapping cause and effect relationships in real
functioning company models.
Implementation
Here too you can count on our help when you need it.
Or do it yourself. You know how now!
