The Mission Directed Work Team Concept

MDW: Creating a World Class Business

There are many good programmes available that help create a lean enterprise. However, applying tools such as Six Sigma, Value-Stream mapping, 5S and TPM do not on their own produce sustainable change.

MDW simplifies and integrates many lean principles in a program focused at the people and the processes in the work place.

MDW provides the platform for sustainable change and a continuous improvement culture that builds a world class business.

We make common sense common practice

MDW equips the front line team leaders and their teams with the skills to take responsibility for their own results and empowers them to implement their own improvement programmes. We create a learning environment where team work, participation and problem solving matters.

Everyone knows what a good day looks like

MDW puts business focus in the work place through the concept of Mini-Business units (MBU's) so that everyone understands what they need to do to satisfy their customer every day. Through a Multi-level process that engages all levels of management, we connect the bottom to the top, align the team's goals to the business goals and get everyone to focus on results that matter.

We know how People Learn

Using the Team leader toolkit developed by a world class staff of adult educational specialists, we help you equip the team leaders and their teams with skills to improve themselves and their processes. The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) process is built in to all we do to enable people to learn by doing. We help you provide leadership support for a culture of engagement and continuous improvement.

Everyone's ideas matter

In this environment the more you contribute the more you get out of it. People get recognised for the contribution they make. Everyone will experience change and benefits that this way of working brings to your business.

Every site a model for the world to see. The results, people and the workplaces are visibly world-class

Our clients see immediate, visible improvements as we help them transform their organisation into a world-class competitor.
