Championing change

The roll of the team leader is to challenge the current status, identify opportunities for improvement and implement change in a bid to achieve ever higher performance in Quality, Cost and Delivery. The Team Leader plays a pivotal role in Manufacturing. He/she is in a unique position of directly managing the resources, people, materials and machines used to create the product. In addition to managing the current status, they are also able to challenge it by identifying opportunities for process improvement, implementing those improvements and then sustaining the benefits gained.
