The Power of the Improvement Cycle: How to Achieve Double-digit Performance Improvement Year-on-year

Synopsis

The Pharmaceuticals sector is, by its nature, highly regulated and CAPEX-friendly. These conditions are powerful drivers of quality and long-term progress but have the potential to suffocate daily operational improvement and stifle true manufacturing excellence. An antidote for this is having a truly effective Improvement Cycle embedded at the heart of operations.

The Improvement cycle is simple in its concept – 4 key stages driving daily improvement: Getting the Right Facts, Understanding & Prioritising, Getting People Working Effectively, Using the right Improvement tools & actions – and yet fiendishly difficult to implement in a world-class manner.

Chartwell are operational improvement specialists, working across all manufacturing industries but with a particular focus in pharmaceuticals. We help achieve capacity & productivity improvements in this sector of 20-50% within 3-6 months with little or no CAPEX. How? An industry-leading approach to the improvement cycle, coupled with rigorous application of structured methodologies.

In this presentation, I’d like to use the opportunity to share with the conference attendees some key principles they can take back to their companies to help rapidly strengthen their Improvement Cycle and benefit from a step-change improvement of their current assets.
