Riding the Waves of Safety and Efficiency
Participants will be introduced to the value behind zoom level observations where thousands of hours of production are being lost. Not only will they leave this session being able to identify oceans of improvement opportunities, but they will also be outfitted with a proven approach to cultivating Buy-In WITH our trade partners. This method of zoom level observations will accelerate their efforts in building lasting relationships with our skilled workforce by removing 'hard' work from their workflow. But how do we make sure these aren’t just localized improvements that wash away with the tide?
The exercise at the beginning of this interactive session will calibrate the audience's improvement goggles so that when we dive into testimonials and a case study on how this approach gave purpose to time & motion studies, they will clearly see the measurable gains made through rapid experimentations and Job Instruction.
Speakers:
- Jesse Hernandez, Principal Depth Builder, Depth Builder LLC

- …and trustful relationships for potential future collaboration
