Your Operations and Manufacturing Transformation Success Starts Here™.
A recent study by a major manufacturing industry data/survey firm found that only 67% of U.S. manufacturing organizations report having the right operational-focused talent to achieve their efforts toward world-class performance. More worrisome is that only 43% of U.S. manufacturers have the necessary talent development processes to drive world-class performance and process improvement.
Even worse is that 29% of U.S. manufacturers have sighted that they have neither the talent nor the development programs to grow the needed talent to achieve world-class performance for their organizations. This talent and development gap is another reason why almost 56% of U.S. manufacturing executives feel they have made little to no progress toward world-class manufacturing status despite the significant rise in the leverage of Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement activities across the surveyed organizations.
This is where The Avery Point Group can help add value in your search for the right operations and manufacturing transformation leadership talent.
