The Luminous Group

Yes, because 'training' an employee is not one event, but a continuing series of learning, practice, and feedback sessions. When you train a new operator, is it a one-time event, or continuous development and verification of performance? #continuousimprovement #training #manufacturing #luminousgroup

Wasted footsteps are often taken for granted. They may seem benign. But when done repeatedly throughout the day, by many individuals, it's like a small drip from hundreds of faucets. #waste #wastereduction #continuousimprovement #manufacturing #luminousgroup

Customer audits can be nerve-wracking, as are quality system registrar audits. However, you can lower the stress level by conducting a plant 'health check' and catching problems before they impact your audits, while preventing more problems that could impact your customers. https://loom.ly/8k0dsV8 #plantoperatingsystem #manufacturing #quality #luminousgroup

A key role of management is making sure the organization consistently performs well for its stakeholders. Looking at metrics at the end of the month is too late to impact results. Daily, quick process verifications of key actions give feedback on the process AND the opportunity to correct any variances. #LPA #layeredprocessaudits #manufacturing #accountability #luminousgroup

The CQI-8 Layered Process Audits Guideline stresses the importance of leadership involvement in an organization's Layered Process Audit (LPA) activities - and for a good reason: Without specific leadership behaviors and actions, LPAs are usually a waste of time and frustrating to the people involved. However, when leadership sees the value of LPAs and participates appropriately, the organization can achieve a culture of accountability, process control, and continuous improvement. What's the payoff? A reduction of scrap, rework, customer complaints, warranty, and recalls. Leadership goes beyond tacit support by top management. Learn how you can leverage your human assets to take your organization to the next level of performance. https://loom.ly/_L_52D4 #layeredprocessuaudits #LPA #luminousgroup #AIAG

Mr. Henry Ford was a leader before his time. Time is hard to manage, but perhaps the best competitive advantage. #leadership #manufacturing #waste #Luminousgroup

Many falsely assume Layered Process Audits to be a Quality audit. It is not. LPA is a process verification, not a product check or quality audit. LPA done well is feedback to supervisors and managers as to whether correct actions, settings and standards are in place or not. #layeredProcessAudits #LPA #manufacturing #processverification #luminousgroup
