There is a basic business principle that says if you do the same as you have been doing, you should expect the same results. So, the challenge is what do you need to change to deliver improved production outcomes?
When you are standing at the start of the journey, and it is a journey, there are a variety of paths, with different approaches, each offering mostly unknown outcomes aimed at a variation of results.
You need a crystal ball.
The next best thing is a flexible and structured approach to provide clear insight into the opportunities you must achieve your objectives of improved operational and process performance. You need visibility and a common understanding of how, when and where the process is underachieving now.
The methodology you use needs to facilitate identifying objectives, values, and metrics during implementation.
You need first to increase your operational intelligence. Later you will use this newly acquired knowledge to effectively transition to better process outcomes.
