Most factory managers in China have limited education and have seldom visited a well-run factory. They have no concept of what GOOD factory management looks like.
This FREE presentation talks you through 22 signs that well-managed factories exhibit which you can use to ascertain if yours is on track too...
The quality of management is the strongest predictor of an organization's performance over the long term.
Popular books such as 'In Search of Excellence,' or 'Built to Last' made this case eloquently. On his side, noted statistician and quality "guru" W. Edward Deming believed that 85% of problems come from management.
Now, what does good factory management look like in practice?
CMC have put together a free presentation to show you:
22 Signs Of Good Factory Management In China
In this publication we will illustrate how wide the gap can be between a poorly-run and a well-run manufacturer.
If you're looking to open a factory general manager's mind to new possibilities, then this presentation is for you. Keep reading to see what's included in more detail...
Stabilization Over Fire Fighting
In China, middle managers and executive are usually busy "putting out fires". They never take the time to sit down and think of what the first steps would be on the road to stabilize operations and start improving.
We have found that managers often believe there is no better way for their particular situation. When we point out some issues and suggest alternatives, they say it probably won't work and they have no time to run an experiment.
Fortunately, it is clear that there is nothing industry-specific about a good management approach. It is pretty clear by now that a certain approach is superior -- while each company and individual can adapt it to their styles.
Spreading this concept is the purpose behind our presentation.
