6th November 2006 - Factory Visits - How other firms do it

Onsite Insights, a national business improvement programme which encourages the sharing and adoption of best practice between UK companies.

We achieve this through the organisation of workshops to highly successful companies recognised for their best practice and achievements.
The programme:
1.Enables organisations to meet others and share how they have overcome challenges and achieved results;
2. Improves productivity, performance and profit in participating businesses; and
3. Encourages innovation

On-site visits are a well established method for companies to network, benchmark and innovate. They should become part of any organisations continuous improvement strategy.
Seeing in practice how organisations have overcome issues and achieved success has allowed thousands of companies around the world to improve their own businesses. Visits are successful because they enable visitors to ask the managers who have implemented change how it was done, what the challenges were, and how they were overcome. The answers aren't from a text book, they are real, and more importantly they have worked.
As any manager knows, we need to keep looking for opportunities to improve and grow in order to succeed. Visiting other organisations provides a way to generate new ideas, new solutions and identify new opportunities.
