About this episode

Peggy discusses the challenges manufacturers face in implementing production systems and data consistently across their organizations.

Peggy talks about how manufacturers have production systems, improvement programs, and even data, but fail to implement consistently across their organizations. She says we need to move beyond reactive data and to better connections between data, people, learning, and action. She also discusses: · How many have a global production system—and how many report that it is fully implemented across all sites. · Why so many efforts fall short, including the two traps many manufacturers fall into. · How to solve the challenge with a combination of people and data. https://peggysmedleyshow.com
