It was a really good plant. But they weren't good at running this product. So every time it changed over, it was long, the ramp-up after the changeover was slow. And then after you made this product, going back to the other products was very painful as well. So that was an example where you think about that warehouse.
Where can you find ways to build some level of stability in your supply chain, or your operations or your business that can help minimize the impact of the broad supply chain issues.
Supply chain disruption and chaos. It is such a common thing today. Creating a future that is calm, where processes flow and continuous improvement occurs every day through engaged motivated team members is an ongoing journey. employee morale, fortunately, is on the decline with turnover on the increase, turning this around is a big effort, but it can be done and often requires support. The Enterprise Excellence Community has been designed to provide people leading excellence journeys with organisational support each month from one of our global experts for an hour, and then also via peers within common industries, where we can collaborate in small teams and get help from each other for the second hour of the community meeting. The community is taking on new members. If you're interested, please reach out. You can go to the enterprise excellence academy.com/contact to apply. It's for people practising and involved in really playing a big part in these journeys. And it's all about helping each other create that better future.
