JULY 20239MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSthat especially have conflicting KPIs. The remaining initiative will be parked for the next journey."Cut the fat, not the meat".2. TIMING DEPLOYMENTThere are 4 main production factors required to get maximum output, namely machines, materials, methods and manpower. The most important factor is manpower. The timing of deployment must be adapted with the maturity skill capability and knowledge of the organization which can be seen from the level of qualification matrix. An important point that must be reviewed by the leader is to set medium-long range planning targets to be achieved by establishing a development plan to fit the manpower competency skill gap. So that a synergy is formed between the target business needs and manpower capability requirements. For instance, a company has a target of reducing manpower with automation initiatives, while the mind set and behavior of manpower are still in manual mode. This will make the initiative unsustainable because the equipment will not be able to run optimally due to lack of maintenance which has not been prepared previously. The impact is causing other waste in the investment.The next important point is the principle of sowing and reaping. We must realize that the results obtained today are the actions of the previous investment to build capability man power. Through the increased skill of manpower, the organization is already capable of translating from "meat to fat". For example, reduction of maintenance costs cannot be achieved without distinguishing the consumption costs of each machine. The cost consumption of each machine cannot be achieved without knowledge of the machine structure. Knowledgeable machine structure cannot be achieved without capable engineers. A capable engineer cannot be achieved without identifying the skills that must be met. So when we focus on closing skill gaps our engineers continuously are a step towards reducing maintenance cost initiatives."Focus on process not the output and result will be happen in time"3. INTEGRATION MEASUREMENTGenerally, each department has its own purpose, for instance the safety department will focus on safety incidents, the quality department will focus on customer complaints and quality indexes, production will focus on the amount of production output, engineering will focus on machine efficiency & maintenance costs. But in the implementation, we will find several conflicting issues, such as the quality department asking a production department to stop because there was a quality issue in a certain index which has not been integrated with related departments. This situation will transfer the loss quality index to the loss of output production and machine efficiency. Another example is to get maximum production output, the production will ask for replacement of parts extremely, so that the machine can run smoothly with impact transfer the loss of production output to maintenance costs.Based on the above phenomenon, an integration measurement is requisite to determine the KPIs target level of the deployment to get the lowest loss and highest result in order to achieve optimal resource utilization."Most initiative have negative risks, mitigate the risks and execute it". However in actual implementation in KPIs, the main focus is cost centric by setting target cost saving without digging into the current organizational situation
