BIO: Paul Doyle is currently serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Coastal Automotive and Coastal Container, based in Holland Michigan. Prior to joining Coastal, Doyle served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Grand Haven, MI-based GHSP from 2007-2014. Doyle, joined GHSP in 1999 as vice president of human resources and in 2003 was named vice president of sales and marketing. Prior to joining GHSP he was director of organizational development at Holland, MI-based Donnelly Corporation. Doyle is responsible for leading the development of the executive teams at Coastal Automotive and Coastal Container with the objective a creating growth for all Coastal stakeholders; owners, customers, employees, supply partners, and the communities in which we work. He focuses on the development of four foundational processes; planning, marketing, lean enterprise, leader competence. His passion is for leader and leadership development and in 2013 he started LeaderWork, a consulting firm whose purpose is to prepare leaders for the tasks of leadership; to prevent the frustrations and failures that come from incomplete preparation and development. He has developed a 12 month program offered through Grand Valley State University called What Leaders Do to help leaders develop a foundational understanding of their role. While at GHSP as VP of Sales and Marketing and President / CEO Doyle built and lead the executive team that successfully navigated the recession while at the same time completing the transformation of GHSP from a metal forming business to a market focused mechatronic business. He lead the transformation of the sales and marketing processes at GHSP and in seven years the team more than doubled top line growth and secured booked business that is forecasted to quadruple the size of the business by 2017. During this time of rapid growth GHSP achieved all time high profits in his last two years. GHSP grew from 600 employees in North America to 1600 employees in the U.S., MX, China, Japan, and Germany. At Donnelly, and later at GHSP, he developed deep expertise in combining vision and strategic planning, team analytics, leadership standards, objective-driven business planning and performance-based compensation systems to create exceptionally high performing organizations and teams.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame and a master’s degree from West Virginia University. He is also a graduate of the Notre Dame Program in Executive Management.

Description of Presentation: Leadership is one of the four critical pillars of a business and as such is a key responsibility of the most senior team in every organization. Leadership is often discussed and significant resources are spent in pursuit of the identification, selection, and development of leaders. We have become quite good at the identification and selection of leaders, but our track record of developing highly skilled and highly motivated leaders is not as strong. One thing we have learned from “lean” is that unless there is a standard, there is no basis for learning. In this session we will discuss idea that leaders need a standard to know “What Leaders Do.” We will discuss our experience with a practical / behavioral approach, not a set of theories, and the impact of this approach on the personal and professional results for team leaders and team members. Key Learning Objectives:

1. The role of executive teams in driving leader development 2. The reasons why traditional leader development is only partially effective 3. The role of a standard in the development of leaders and the integration to people systems 4. A recommended standard that has been developed with 30 years of field trials

21st Century Lean Concern

Your Lean Focus will Shift from Cost Reduction to

Skills Gap and Talent Utilization On a list of executive-related business issues, your biggest company concern for the 21

st century

is filling the skills-gap, retaining and leveraging your talent. [Forbes.com, Feb.11, 2014].

Where is your lean focus now? It’s not enough for you to focus on correction, overproduction,

motion, material handling, waiting, inventory, and processing without also addressing the skills

gap.

Your supply chain includes people, time, equipment, space, and money, all dedicated to moving

a product or service from supplier to customer. If you don’t fill the skills gap, that becomes a

missing link in your supply chain—a bottleneck choking off your pace for process

improvements, defect prevention, and reduction of variation and waste.

Key Points You Will Learn:

How to shrink the widening skills gap for more lean success.

How to retain and leverage your talent for more lean success.

How to calculate future earnings from your talent for more lean success.

You will learn how to get 100% capacity utilization from your talent and maximize marginal

benefit from your talent for higher profit margins.

TITLE: The Bullwhip Effect “The Beer Game”

CONTENT: The Beer Game is a fast paced interactive simulation to show the real life impact of “The Bullwhip Effect”. Of course, there is no beer in the beer game, and the game does not promote drinking. The game illustrates a well-known problem in (traditional) supply chains. The game focuses on the impact the amount of periodical orders amplifies as one moves upstream in the supply chain. The consequence of the bullwhip effect created inefficiencies throughout the supply chain such as high stock levels, poor customer service levels, poor capacity utilization, aggravated problems with demand forecasting and ultimately high cost and low levels of trust within the supply chain. While these effects are not new, it is still a timely and pressing problem in contemporary supply chains.

The TWI Program was developed in the 1940’s to build capability in an organization at the supervisor level by providing front line management with the basic skills of Job Instruction (JI), Job Relations (JR) and Job Methods (JM) to quickly ramp up the production of war material. The impact of TWI on industry far exceeded expectations as supervisors and team leaders learned how to use the three TWI skills to quickly train people who had never worked in a factory or shipyard before to do jobs correctly, safely and conscientiously, and to make small daily improvements while leading their people to get out more quality materials at lower costs than ever thought possible.

Dick Jackson Master Trainer TWI Institute Liverpool, NY

TWI: 101

Workshop Description: Getting Started with TWI Hour 1 will focus on explaining the fundamentals of the standardized TWI Training Method for Job Instruction (JI), Job Relations (JR) and Job Methods (JM) training and the connection to Lean and Continuous Improvement. Hour 2 will focus on how to plan a start-up, and on a proven 7-step TWI implementation model that engages frontline personnel in the improvement process by having them work together on a pilot project to solve a problem impacting the bottom line.

Overview Learn how TWI Job Instruction (JI) training method is used to teach people to do any job correctly, safely, and conscientiously. Understand how the Job Relations (JR) training method reduces conflict by teaching people how to take proper actions to solve problems. Understand how to use Job Methods (JM) 4-step method to teach people how to improve productivity by making the best use of the resources currently available to them. Understand how Supervisors and Team Leaders can use JI, JR, and JM to make small daily improvements, train people, and lead work teams to make your lean strategy stick.

Rosie-the-Riveter, a commonly used symbol of the WWII workforce, was a real person. Rose Will Monroe was a riveter of B-29 and B24 airplanes at Willow Run aircraft factory in Michigan. She was asked to star in a promotional film about war production and also became the U.S. “poster-girl” for women joining the workforce. She is fondly used by the TWI Institute to symbolize the passion and pride associated with TWI for the last 70 plus years!
