SUMMARY:Root Cause Analysis Tips for Manufacturing - When Virtual Is the Only Option
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintA world-class company needs manufacturing plants to be more than just operational—they need to be productive\, efficient and flexible to respond to changing business conditions. The recent COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated this clearly\, particularly with the critical troubleshooting and maintenance operations required to keep plants running. \nWhen machinery breaks down today\, troubleshooters often cannot physically be in front of what needs fixing due to health or remote-work restrictions. Human senses are essential to gather data to diagnose a problem. When troubleshooters are constrained by the quality of a camera lens and the ability to hear\, feel and smell must be relayed through non-expert on-site personnel\, the ability to gather accurate data for quick resolution can be greatly compromised. \nYou need a different set of skills and processes to effectively troubleshoot when virtual is the only option. Access to a resolution will depend on the level of quality in two areas: \n\nA definitive and clear problem-solving process\, focused on the data that can be accessed\nEffective tactics to gain access\, confirm data and test the diagnosis\n\nChad Player and Sam Bernstine of Kepner-Tregoe a Root Cause Consulting Firm have extensive experience navigating the roadblocks of our pandemic reality through to many successful resolutions. Through their experience you will learn: \n\nWhat problem-solving skills are at the top of the list when virtual is the only option\nHow to develop a plan to focus time/effort/cost on the data that matters\nKey essentials on developing effective tactics to access the data\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy. In addition\, I understand that my personal information will be shared with any sponsor(s) of the resource\, so they can contact me directly about their products or services. Please refer to the privacy policies of such sponsor(s) for more details on how your information will be used by them.\nSpeakers \nChad Player\, Consultant\, Kepner-Tregoe\nChad’s never-ending interest for fixing things combined with his love of structure make him a perfect partner when organizations want to shift performance into high gear. His specialty lies in contractor management\, root cause analysis investigations and has experience in the areas including reliability\, waste reduction\, equipment failures\, distribution of raw materials and safety incidents. With broad industry experience including health\, mining\, paper\, automotive\, manufacturing and IT – call centers Chad has successfully led many client teams through projects with stakes in the multimillion-dollar range. Chad is a certified Six Sigma Black Belt\, an expert in Lean and Change Management principals and a champion of improvements that create enormous value clients and are sustainable over time. Chad views his success through what is produced by his client teams in the areas of operational improvement\, increased efficiency and major cost savings. \nSam Bernstine\, Principal\, Kepner-Tregoe\nFor over 35 years\, Sam has brought his belief in teamwork\, his persistent pursuit of value\, and his strong leadership skills to serving KT clients in the automotive\, manufacturing\, and power generation/energy industries. He has helped companies such as Honda\, Nissan\, Stellantis (formally FCA)\, Robert Bosch\, Johnson Controls\, Siemens\, Duke Energy\, Exelon Corporation and Ontario Power Generation to examine and improve how decisions are made\, problems are solved\, projects are managed\, and communication is carried out.

SUMMARY:Grow Your Revenue by Helping Your Resellers
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintMany manufacturers depend on resellers\, dealers\, and distributors in their sales efforts. If this applies to your manufactured products\, you know it’s critical to build relationships with these parties who ultimately recommend your product to end-users. \nThese partners hold power in their choice of which products to recommend to their customers. In addition to sales\, these resellers often service the product as well. The quality of the service experience can often make or break the customers perception of the brand. \nThe resellers become the face of your brand and keepers of these critical relationships. So it’s no surprise it is vital that as the manufacturer you are “easy to do business with” and provide your resellers all the support needed so they can sell and service your products and be great brand ambassadors. \nTo win\, you have to compete by creating the best user experience at every step of the value chain\, ultimately helping your reseller look good to their customers. By making life easier for resellers and their customers (the end-users)\, manufacturers can gain a real competitive advantage. But where do you get started? \nTo effectively compete on experience\, you need a unified system of action to engage resellers throughout your process. We invite you to join us for a webinar featuring ServiceNow’s Global Head of Manufacturing Industry Solutions\, Allen Hackman\, for tips on how your company can make it easier for resellers to market with you\, sell with you\, request service assistance\, and more. During this webinar\, Allen will discuss and will demo: \n\nCreating a seamless experience for resellers\nHow to achieve end-to-end visibility of orders\, complaints\, and financial information\nImproving service quality and reducing cost to serve\nDigital workflow automation at scale\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.
