A cement manufacturing company improved their throughput by 25% by ensuring rigour of daily, weekly and monthly meetings, focussed on deep problem solving
FROM
Daily morning meetings discussing last day production KPIs
Gaps in achievement were discussed and justified with asset downtime
Targets discussed for next day
Weekly meetings included stressful discussion on missed targets. Line managers were shouted at for missing plan
TO
Daily standing meeting at shopfloor + Weekly Management meeting
Daily meeting focussed
on "Why" of gap and identified 2 problems and went deep into reasons and solutions
Actions from meeting were noted and executed through the day
Next day morning meeting focussed on action completion and further gaps and root causes
Weekly meetings focussed on
Leader would start with good performing metrics followed by not-so good ones
List of asks from each leader to solve problems on permanent level
Discussion on best practices working across units
Leader was coached to shift focus from "who" to "why" - helping teams leverage their deep experience
CASE REFERENCE
3 reasons for ineffective meetings
Leaders do not provide psychological safety and restraint team members to share opinions, suggestions and criticism. Sound voices become silent.
Meetings operate like update meetings for certain individuals. Rigor and spirit of problem solving is missing
Action finalisation and follow through is missing, making meetings unproductive and unaccountable
Redesign the meeting architecture from annual to quarterly to weekly/ daily meeting rhythms. Each level carries specific agenda and importance
