I N D I Z E N ‘2015: The 6th National Convention on Operational Excellence (OE)

India has a great diversity in the maturity levels within different industries. There are some that are mature, but most pursue Operational Excellence (OE) in bits & pieces. They follow random, tool based, isolated improvements without effective employee engagement & without aligning efforts to serve business priorities.

Far too often the greatest challenge faced by the CEOs is “Sustaining Change”. This happens because of absence of structured process control, problem solving routines managed by those closest to the processes. The root cause lies in the following tendencies:

Prevalent mindsets of ‘managing by results’. Traditional managers proudly proclaim themselves to be ‘result oriented managers’; never realizing that results are but a byproduct of processes!

Prevalent tendency to treat people on the workplace without respect. Indian labor laws have created two classes of workmen, commonly described as ‘permanent’ and ‘contract’. The ‘contract’ manpower is temporary hands anyway; even the ‘permanent’ ones are not trusted enough to be allowed to control their own processes autonomously.

Absence of ‘Standard Work’. Quality system requirements have brought in SOPs, but they are rarely prepared by users! They are made by engineers in English (not the local lingo), are full of text & confined to files – which emerge only during external audits! SOPs are not ‘Standard Work’.

Visual Controls are not understood, & consequently, very poorly practiced. The visuals that are put up do not aid process ‘control’!
.

With its focus on Operational Excellence and theme of “Sustained Operational Excellence – Key to long-term success of ‘Make in India’”, the India Business Unit and Global leader in Operational Excellence, Kaizen Institute is all set to present INDIZEN 2015, the 6th National Convention on Operational Excellence scheduled on 17th and 18thFebruary @ Hotel Hyatt Regency, Pune, India.

Explaining about the theme for the event, Mr. Vinod Grover, Founding Director, Kaizen Institute India, said, “The Indian Prime Minister is passionately promoting ‘Make in India’ as one of the key components of his governments’ strategy to accelerate Indian economic growth. He also looks at this as a means to generating employment opportunities for millions of Indian youth entering the job market every year!

Initial investment in setting up manufacturing facilities has to be the current focus. However, unless the Indian made goods match up to the demand of quality, cost & delivery expected by the world market, all these opportunities will be short-lived. Being operationally excellent is a pre-requisite for global competitiveness. However, the real challenge is retaining the competitiveness for the long haul. There are hundreds of books that teach the tools of OE, but there are few that teach the tools/ methods/ practices/ of sustaining OE.

Given this background, Kaizen Institute India decided to explore the theme ‘Sustained Operational Excellence – Key to long-term success of ‘Make in India’ for IndiZen 2015.
