This foundational Maximizing Productivity training prepares learners to analyze and quantify existing production pipelines and assess them for productivity shortcomings, then develop strategies for addressing them.
When thinking about productivity, there's an important historical lesson from the 1890s to consider. As new, smaller electric machines replaced old steam-powered ones in the United States, factories saw no major change in productivity. The reason? The new machines were placed in the exact same places as the old ones and the benefits of assembly-line production weren't realized. The lesson is that new technologies shouldn't be used like better versions of old technologies — that ignores their true potential.
This Maximizing Productivity training is designed to put you in the frame of mind to recognize the physical and digital opportunities that can make you and your company more productive and efficient.
