Your job as a manager is to constantly identify if something can be done better, faster or at less cost. How can you do this? Cut out unnecessary steps Avoid duplication of effort Reduce time to accomplish tasks Avoid workplace accidents Reduce cost by not using so many materials Etc. Examples?
11 Steps to establish S & P requirements and identify problems: 1
Steps to establish S & P requirements and identify problems: 1. Clarify the purpose of the work What is the purpose of the S or P? eg. Set up the restaurant for breakfast. What are your objectives? – eg. Two staff to do this in half an hour. What standards do you want to set? Eg. Table setting, distance between, etc. Each student to give another example with these headings
12 2. Personal Feedback – identify requirements and problems by
‘walking the job’ Observe but beware of being ‘too familiar’ with the workplace to see the problems. Ask your staff ‘Lead and manage people’ – (good communication skills)Important: identify the real problem or issue otherwise your solution will not work! 13 3. Create an Environment of Continuous Improvement Engage in a never-ending search for improved quality, faster response, lower costs, etc. Be strict, but not to the detriment of your development !Get your staff to be part of the process – instill pride and understanding – tell them ‘WHY’ and the benefits for them, the customers and the org.
