The Business of Better Decisions: Driving Results From the Shop Floor to the Top Floor
The people closest to operational challenges often have the clearest view of the problem - and the best ideas for solving it. But gaining support requires more than technical expertise. It requires communicating recommendations in ways that reflect the priorities of decision makers at every level: managers, quality leaders, site leadership, and executives.
Drawing on real-world examples from his 20+ years in engineering, maintenance, reliability, calibration, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, Tom Povanda will show how “right-sized” data, clear communication, and a strong business case can influence decisions, control costs, reduce risk, and improve individual, team, and organizational performances.
