Assessment description
|
Scenario: |
As the manager, you are required to coordinate a team to:
â—
identify organisational functioning issues that are resulting in lower productivity than desired or customer satisfaction results lower than desired
â—
analyse the problems:

use continuous improvement techniques to analyse the continuous improvement system in the workplace
â—
develop continuous improvement strategies to address the performance issues and these strategies may include, but are not limited to, improving:
â—‹
performance measurement and management
â—‹
job roles and clarity of expectations
â—‹
rewards and recognition
â—‹

training and development
â—‹
effective mentoring and buddy systems
â—
develop an action/implementation plan to implement the strategy

develop an action/implementation plan to implement a monitoring process
â—
implement the monitoring process
â—
write a report with recommendations and an action plan to improve performance and further monitoring to identify further opportunities for improvement.
Procedure

1.
Define the scope
Identify a work area and a performance issue (productivity or customer service) for the project.
Note: you may be assigned a work area depending on your job role.
2.
Identify qualitative issues
Complete discussions with managers, supervisors and frontline staff in the work area to identify qualitatively what the major issues that limit performance or impact on customer service are and gather quantitative data about the business plan/strategic goals of the workplace.
3.
Develop the operation/improvement plan
Create an operational plan for the work area (using the template provided). Use the operational plan as the basis of defining the outcomes required from implementing the strategy.
Note: be sure to incorporate processes that adhere to relevant sustainability requirements.
4.
Develop Project Outline
Create a project outline (template provided) and submit to your supervisor/assessor for approval.
5.
Organise your team
Specifically you will need to organise:
a.
Team members (who in the organisation will assist in the quantitative analysis and provide knowledge of the work area and help in formulating/prioritising possible solutions?)
b.
Stakeholders (who will be affected?)
c.
Sponsor (who can approve/support your project?).
6.
Organise the monitoring process
Specifically you will need to organise:
a.
who is going to measure what

b.
when measurements will be taken, and for how long
c.
how measurements will be taken and reported
d.
where measurements are to be stored and for how long
e.
how team members will be informed of outcomes of continuous improvement efforts
f.
training/coaching for people who will undertake the measurements (ensure you use a range of methods to cater for different learning styles).
7.
Meeting 1
Organise a meeting with team members and explain the project parameters. Inform members of the results of your qualitative analysis. Seek feedback and generate ideas for possible actions and further monitoring. Record the minutes in the template provided.
a.
Identify performance management/training/role clarity/planning/
communication/reward/recognition problems by brainstorming with the team members.
b.
Document the problems using the problem definition statement template. Identify methods of measuring and quantifying those issues with the team. Methods may include but are not limited to:
i.
check-sheets
ii.
process maps
iii.
customer service surveys
iv.
employee surveys.
8.
Collect the data to quantify the problem
How big is the problem? Record initial state using data, diagrams, photos, KPIs. In some cases, incident reports, audit reports, customer and employee surveys may provide details of the initial state.
