By Raul Gorrín. Companies that have
introduced in recent years the scheme teamwork, profit center or flat
hierarchies, have been able to increase productivity in a sustainable manner.
This shows a recent study by the Centre for European
Economic Research (ZEW). The study is based on data representative of the IAB
Establishment Panel that examined responses from more than 8,000 European
companies.
In Europe, more and more companies are introducing
Lean Management approach or management structures reduced size, which means
changing the responsibility down (flat hierarchies). It involves carrying
teamwork or create operational units with their own cost and with its own
analysis of the results (profit center).
Based on Lean Management -model-based management to
create flow to deliver maximum value for customers, using the resources
necessary-lows firms organize the participation of employees in small groups,
which are allowing decisions to increase motivation and efficiency. This means
that the responsible for implementing the lean management should focus on a
productive area of the company and consult the views of the workers
themselves who perform these processes. Thus, you can go by locating all those
details that do not correspond, then edit and delete. This management means
better performance, more profit, better quality of life, low risk rates and
reduced accident rates.
The system increases the efficiency of the processes
of decision-making and production. The ZEW study shows that companies can
actually increase productivity with the introduction of Lean Management in
their working structures.
The Lean Management requires employees to be flexible
and responsible. In companies where this method is adopted, the processes
should be developed through open schemes, making knowledgeable workers an
essential element in determining and applying these models.
The study also shows that companies that introduce
Lean Management is clearly distinguishable from the companies that manage their
systems in traditional ways.
The logic behind this business system is to produce
what the market requires, in quantity, at the right, put in the right place at
the right cost and time. In short, it is to produce more with less. It is not
just workers, but all the resources involved in the production line. By Raúl Gorrín.
