On November 6–7, 2026, WANA’s factory hosts a Management Skills and Productivity Management training program for production and technical supervisors. Designed around practical workplace challenges, the program supports stronger leadership, more effective coordination, and continuous improvement across manufacturing operations.
For WANA, developing people is an essential part of building a capable organization. This initiative gives frontline managers opportunities to strengthen their skills and translate business objectives into clear actions for their teams.
Building Practical Management Skills
Frontline managers connect operational plans with daily execution. Their ability to communicate expectations, assign responsibilities, and support employees influences how effectively each production shift operates.
The management skills module focuses on setting SMART goals, prioritizing tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix, and organizing work around clear objectives. Participants explore delegation, employee guidance, and progress monitoring, with attention to defining responsibilities and providing the resources needed to complete assignments.
Communication is another central theme. Through group discussions and role-playing exercises, participants practice active listening, constructive feedback, and approaches to motivating their teams. These activities encourage managers to address challenges clearly while creating a more supportive working environment.
The program also introduces ways to assess performance and identify development needs, helping managers connect individual contributions with team results.
Connecting Productivity with Continuous Improvement
Productivity management requires an understanding of how people, equipment, time, and processes contribute to manufacturing performance.
This module helps participants examine production losses, interpret operational information, and identify opportunities for improvement. Tools including Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Pareto analysis, the 5 Whys, and 5S provide structured approaches to investigating problems and selecting practical actions.
Exercises focus on recognizing waste, examining equipment downtime, and considering corrective and preventive measures. By working with situations relevant to factory operations, participants can connect these methods with the decisions they face in their daily roles.
Factory KPIs are also covered to help supervisors understand how departmental performance contributes to broader production objectives. The emphasis is on improving productivity while maintaining attention to quality and the effective use of resources.
Turning Learning into Workplace Action
The program combines instruction with individual exercises, group activities, and workplace observation. Participants are encouraged to bring real operational challenges into discussions, making the learning experience relevant to their responsibilities.
A key component is the development of a 30-day action plan. This gives participants a practical starting point for applying what they learn, identifying priorities, and proposing improvements within their teams.
The training also includes opportunities to develop improvement ideas for a production line, supporting a closer connection between classroom learning and everyday operations.
Investing in People for Sustainable Growth
Through management and productivity training, WANA reinforces the importance of learning at every level of the organization. Equipping supervisors with practical tools supports clearer communication, more consistent execution, and informed problem-solving.
The program reflects WANA’s commitment to developing its people alongside its manufacturing capabilities. By encouraging managers to learn, apply, and improve, WANA continues to build a workplace where individual development contributes to shared progress—bringing the spirit of “Growing Together” into daily practice.
