Mentoring is for those who want to take a "do it yourself" approach but realise they need some expert TOC guidance and support along the way.
You get everything contained in a full TOC Rapid Implementation Project customised to your site except that the components of the solution are installed over a longer period of time.
“If I had the time over we would have borrowed money from the bank to fund the project rather run the slow course of a 10 month mentoring program". Owner, Custom Kitchen Manufacturer, NZ.
Typically a mentoring program runs for 8 to 10 months to achieve sustainable and solid results with your own people running the system unaided.
Clients usually achieve some significant breakthroughs in performance occuring early in the program. This is typical when you install a TOC solution. However, to be able to run it in house unaided takes a little while to transfer the deeper insights of TOC. The program focus shifts to gaining these deeper insights, refining the customised solution, dealing with any further obstacles and/or negative side effects and ensuring the system will run without TOC3.
We generally find it sufficient to have a TOC Expert on site 1 or 2 days a month with off-site support via phone, email, and an internet chat service like Skype.
Mentoring projects generally require a minimum level of Theory of Constraints education which for instance the 2 Day Production the TOC Way Workshop or 2 Day Critical Chain Project Management Workshop) we will provide to ensure a base level from which to "hit the road" running.
Fees are payable one month in advance. Fees are calculated on the basis of ROI 8:1 minimum. Any direct expenses are charged at cost e.g. travel or accommodation.
“What’s more the reliability of the factory was a key factor in us winning new commercial business orders and we know we can produce them on time under the new system". Same owner as above
