The document provides guidance on starting systemic productivity improvements in a facility. It recommends first observing current processes to identify gaps, and testing small changes in 3-4 areas to change the culture. A long-term plan should be divided into smaller sequential changes that improve processes with minimal negative impacts. These first changes require buy-in from leadership and employees. Process improvement projects should address each major business sector based on employee feedback. Continuous small strides that involve the workforce can effectively change the overall effectiveness and culture of the business over time.
