Industrial Performance

Industrial performance is a continuous improvement approach with economic and productive efficiency objectives.

Industrial performance is the search for continuous improvement of processes with the objective of economic and productive efficiency. It is also known as operational excellence.

To improve its operations, an industrial company can act on numerous subjects such as: purchasing, stock management, production processes, human resources and data management.

Often, an external viewpoint can already change the way we look at things and point out areas for improvement. Then, to go further, there are methods and tools to accompany these organisational changes.
In what context is an industrial performance analysis launched?
In an industrial context that is changing rapidly, whether in terms of consumer habits (internet purchasing, personalisation), technologies (digitisation, robotisation, industry 4.0) or sources of supply, which are being disrupted by the health (covid) and political (conflicts) contexts, it is difficult for the management team to keep abreast of all the trends and to identify the applications in its practice. This is why coaching can help to take a step back, to adapt with more flexibility, agility or to modernise its practices by improving the company's performance.

After reading these few lines, it is clear that working on the different areas of improvement in the company is not the prerogative of large companies but is possible whatever the size of the company.

The process of improving industrial performance can be carried out using several methodologies which will firstly take stock of the situation, then recommend changes and finally carry out a follow-up.

Let's go back to the tools. There are several standard approaches to assessing the situation. We will not mention them all, but among them you will find:
The Kaizen method or the 5S method, the SMED method or the FMECA method, lean manufacturing or lean management.
lean manufacturing or lean management.
To learn more about these different methods, we recommend that you read the book "Outils de la performance industrielle" by Jean-Marc Gallaire (Editions Eyrolles, 2008), which is available in pdf format by following this link:

Once the situations have been identified, it is important to develop one's practices in order to benefit from the observations made. This is also where external support can be used to implement solutions that have been tested in other organisations.
This may involve using scheduling software, implementing preventive maintenance tools, distributing tasks differently within the team, etc. It is also important to set up performance indicators to measure the benefits of the corrective actions implemented.

This is why we recommend that you do this work with an expert from outside your organisation.
