Developing Metrics that Matter to Motivate Performance

Course Description

Creating goals and metrics is only effective when you involve different levels of the organization, communicate those goals clearly, have two-way communication between upper management and the plant floor, and continuously measure those goals and discuss their impact. By only doing a portion of this, it will be difficult for the organization to be focused and aligned. This two-day training course is designed for managers at all levels of the organization and all disciplines within the plant (from operations through the front end) to join together and learn how to create goals that are right for your organization, align with the strategic plan goals, gain all of the managers’ buy-in, and align all levels of the company to drive results.

During this course, you will learn how to:

  • Determine what should be measured in your organization but just as importantly, what should not be measured
  • Communicate goals, optimize operations, and create visual aids, all with the end goal of obtaining the metrics created
  • Link continual improvement projects to financial impacts for the organization
  • Sustain a metric-driven organization through communication, commitment, and accountability
