Remote Management: In-House

<h2>Team Identity Day: In-House</h2><p>All teams need to step back periodically and think about direction, where they have been and where they are going.</p><p>If a team is giving cause for concern, whether subjectively in terms of perception or more objectively in terms of its performance metrics, it may well be that the team is not functioning as well as it could with its existing resources. If there is no shared sense of purpose - no vision, no mission - then it is all too likely that energies are not being properly directed, that inefficiencies are arising and that the team is failing.</p><p>Equally, a newly formed team - or a recently restructured one - needs to focus first on the bigger picture before it can get down to the job of service delivery.</p><p>In situations such as this, a team identity day can be invaluable, helping the team establish a sense of direction, of purpose, of identity.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><p>This workshop usually has two very specific outcomes. First, a draft (or revised) vision and mission statements, sometimes expressed as a 'Team Charter'. And secondly, an agreed set of next steps. Individual participants tend to come away from the event, inspired and motivated, with an increased sense of purpose and commitment and a better understanding of their own role as well as that of the team as a whole.</p><section>

Improvement events create localized improvements, however, Lean tools such as Value Stream Mapping strengthens the gains obtained by providing vision and plan that connect all improvement activities.</p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);">The primary purpose of creating a value stream map is to show you the places where you can improve your process by visualizing both its value-adding and wasteful steps. It employs a flowchart documenting every step in the process and therefore helps to identify waste, look for ways to reduce or eliminate the waste, and create effective flow of materials and information through all the processes in an organization.</p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);">It is widely used to improve individual processes but can also be used to analyse and design flows at the system level across multiple processes, or across different departments.</p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Structure of the Course</strong></p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);">Our Value Stream Mapping Training course has been designed as a one-day programme so that your business can use it as the tool that allows you to see waste in manufacturing, production, and business processes, and provides the foundation for the creation of plans to remove or streamline non-value-adding steps. This is achieved by analysing the current state and designing a future state for the series of events that take a product or service from its beginning through to the customer.</p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);">In Value Stream Mapping we follow a process from start to finish monitoring and measuring what happens within, and between, each process step. A flow diagram showing the process is drawn to reflect the current state of the operation. The non-value actions are identified in each step, and the process is analysed for opportunity to drastically reduce and simplify it to the fewest actions necessary.</p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);">By reducing wastefulness, the redesigned process becomes more streamlined (the right things are being done) and more efficient (needing fewer resources). The reengineered process is flow charted in its future state with process steps and information flows redesigned, simplified, and made less expensive.</p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);">Although value stream mapping is often associated with manufacturing, it is also used in logistics, supply chain, service-related industries, healthcare, software development, product development, administrative and office processes.</p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);">This one-day, highly interactive workshop will provide you with all the skills you need to use the Value Stream Mapping approach to make your processes more efficient. Delegates will analyse a real process, map the current state of a real process, identify waste in the process, and apply the tools to map the future state streamlining the process and achieving greater efficiency and productivity, thus building knowledge and confidence to lead and participate in mapping processes back at your organisation.</p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Who would benefit from this Approach?</strong></p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);">Anyone who manages a process and wishes to make it more efficient and productive will benefit from this workshop.

Delivered by Rich Cartwright BEng DipEd MCIPHE
NEW RADIATORS
We use EN442 standard to enable you to customise the defined MWT (°c) and the results will highlight if the radiator will heat the room for a given internal design temperature. We like to promote the need to design low temperature systems!
Add multiple designers to your account
You can now add extra dashboard users to complete heat loss and heating design reports on your Heat Engineer Software account.
DHW (DOMESTIC HOT WATER)
This will calculate the projected energy demand and running costs for DHW and domestic cylinder sizing.
EMITTERS AND PERFORMANCE
This page is primarily used for heat pump designs. Once you specify the flow temperature for each room the SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance) values will be shown, and the system will show if radiators are over or undersized.
CURRENT RADIATORS
Use the app on site to enter the current radiators and our system will display the output values for different flow temperatures.
FUEL COMPARISON
Multiple fuels to compare against, you can adjust the price per unit and CO2 factor (kg/kWh). Present these running costs to your clients.
PHOTOS AND NOTES
Photos and notes which you or your surveyors have taken will be shown when you open the report from your dashboard. You may also upload and download photos from your PC / laptop too.
