2nd PDSA / PDCA Workshop

2nd PDSA / PDCA Workshop for Maersk Line Saudi Arabia

Saturday 15th December 2012:

After the first successful PDSA / PDCA training workshop, last September, it was time for the second round. Week 50, I conducted 2nd PDSA workshop for another batch of employees. 

It was a full day workshop for Maersk Line employees on the basic Process Excellence  tools and techniques. 

The event was arranged at Park Hyatt Jeddah and had 17 participants. Participants were nominated by their Function managers.

The objectives of the workshop are:

       

• Build awareness regarding Process Excellence Tools and Techniques.

• Support people in identifying Improvement opportunities and Implementing these based on facts supporting statistics.

• Encourage teams to work / support cross functionally.

• Providing training opportunities to employees and identifying the potential talent for further training and development.

During the workshop the Teams were introduced to the following concepts:

The new concept this time is that three of the Saudi Cluster Functional heads were invited to attend the workshop. These Functional heads were each provided with one simple PEX concept that they came prepared with and then presented during the workshop. The idea has worked well in terms of gaining significant ownership from all teams.
