Collaborative efforts helps in pinpointing the problem at the root level so that a right decision can be arrived at.Each one of the team members contribute for solving the problem. That is the reason why brain storming and Cross Functional Teams are necessary.Many ideas crop up which may result in cost savings, increase the productivity and proper utilisation of resources etc

Some ways to get started: 1) Identify the goals which are relevant to your team from the Annual Business Plan(ABP) of your organisation. 2) Make a foolproof strategy. 3) Follow PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle. 4) Get the performance reviewed and highlight your approach style to get your team morale high.

It not only enhances operational effectiveness but also boosts morale and teamwork by providing a clear roadmap for success.

To measure success of a operation team, important measurable goals to be defined properly. Plant operating procedure for the Group should be in place with role of individual member. Work instructions should take care interaction with internal and external customer like safety, maintenance etc. Based on experience or recommended guidelines of technology provider to handle any eventuality and role to be played by members should be spelled out. Team meeting stipulated guidelines to be rated, as very good. Collaborative effort set a new performance standard, should be regarded excellent.

Evaluate whether the team is consistently meeting or exceeding its goals and objectives. Successful collaboration is reflected in the achievement of shared targets and milestones, indicating that team members are working well together towards common goals.

Few things I have found to improve team work and collective efforts are, 1.)Setting KPIs which are covered all areas such as business waste reduction (Profit)process improvement, People safety, Product quality assurance & stakeholders satisfaction (internal customer and external consumer delight). 2.)Encourage team members to get leadership and delegation of authority to decision making and problem solving. 3.)Identify the training requirements for your work force by considering their competency gaps accordingly. 4.)Motivate them by creating good and healthy culture within the team & opportunities to personal growth as well as career progression.

One thing I’ve always started with is giving a measurable outcome. “Team, today we need to improve our through-put by 5%, I believe this is manageable by doing X,Y,and Z Receive the feedback of their ideas. In my experience a leader who communicates business needs to even hourly team members is hands down more successful than one who shoulders the load solely by themselves

Assess the efficiency and clarity of communication within the team. Effective collaboration is characterized by open, transparent, and timely communication, where information flows freely and misunderstandings are minimized.

By actively managing communication flow and measuring its efficacy, plant operations can enhance teamwork, safety, and overall efficiency. Clear and effective communication fosters a collaborative environment where everyone is well-informed, engaged, and motivated to contribute towards achieving shared objectives.

As I have personally experienced there should be proper and effective communication for sharing information flows which are critically affecting the production flow from RM to FG conversion process. At the same time timely meetings needed for keeping the momentum of process.

One thing that I have found is to do proper problem solving we need to be a good listener rather than speaker. Problems should be identified with RCA and need to give CAs and must verify that it had been closure and prevent the recurring.

Monitor how the team approaches and resolves problems. Successful collaboration often results in quicker, more innovative solutions due to diverse perspectives and collective brainstorming. The ability to solve problems efficiently as a group is a strong indicator of effective teamwork.

By fostering a collaborative environment and assessing problem-solving effectiveness, plant operator teams can enhance their ability to identify, address, and prevent issues efficiently. This contributes to improved operational reliability, safety, and overall performance of the plant.

Observe the extent to which team members share knowledge and skills with each other. Collaboration thrives in environments where there is continuous learning and mutual support, leading to overall skill enhancement and improved team performance.

By actively promoting and evaluating skill sharing among team members, plant operations can cultivate a more adaptable and capable workforce. This not only improves operational efficiency but also strengthens the team’s ability to innovate and adapt to changing demands in the plant environment.

Trust in plant operations activities goes beyond a verbal commitment. It requires individuals to trust that shared information, plant data and plant reporting is accurate. It also requires operations staff to trust that operations leaders will not put them in the line of fire. Building this attribute requires consistency of character and predictably. The visibility of this attribute gauges collaboration within the team.

Measure the levels of trust within the team. High levels of trust are fundamental to successful collaboration, as they encourage open dialogue, risk-taking, and a willingness to rely on each other’s expertise

By assessing and promoting trust within your teams, you create a supportive and cohesive environment where individuals feel empowered to contribute their best efforts towards shared goals. In plant operations, where safety and reliability are paramount, trust forms the foundation for effective teamwork and operational excellence.

Your feedback loop needs to be intentional and daily. Monthly performance reviews where you tell your team to collaborate more is just a platitude that is not actionable. I have put in SQDC boards coupled with a daily Gemba Walk and review meeting with a lot of success in several facilities. You can search "LDM - Lean Daily Management" or "MDI - Managing for Daily Improvement" to get an idea. We also recommend the book: The Work of Management by Jim Lancaster.
