Importance of Knowledge Management
Companies that lack proper management will rely on the skills of a few individuals rather than utilizing the full staff. Knowledge management solutions and strategies enhance employee performance as well as operational excellence, resulting in immediate advantages.!
Wave of Retirements
Nowadays, industrial businesses are failing to capture their workforce’s knowledge and skills as a result of the “Silver Tsunami”, a flood of retirements. According to a recent poll, 57 percent of Baby Boomers have only shared half of the knowledge required to accomplish their job after they retire.
Manufacturers must prioritize knowledge management in order to withstand current industrial problems by bridging the skills gap and passing on critical information to the next generation. Learning to collect and exploit your workforce’s experience will not only help you survive this generational shift, but it will also help you enhance quality, decrease waste, and increase employee performance.
Digitize Standard Work Instructions
By digitizing standard work instructions, procedures and SOPs, they are made available to the entire organization. By doing so, you overcome the fact that best practices will not be lost when the “Silver Tsunami” strikes your company.
So the goal of the standard work instructions is to digitally bundle as much knowledge as possible while gaining flexibility on the other hand.
