How We Make It Happen
On time delivery doesn't happen by mistake. It is a combination of our customer-focused culture, experience and robust operational processes. The foundation of our culture is in the engagement of our employees in the Shawcor Management System and Daily Management Process.
Shawcor Management System (SMS)
Launched in 2006, the Shawcor Management System (SMS) is an industry-leading business improvement model and strategy that leverages leadership, culture and reliable processes to flawlessly execute operational plans, optimize business processes and set standards for reliability. We demonstrate our commitment to quality and continuous improvement by meeting and exceeding our customer expectations—delivering superior quality and integrated solutions on time and on budget.
SMS brings our customers multiple benefits including lower project cost, higher quality and better on-time performance, by improving our processes and overall operational efficiency. The continuous improvement in our facilities is assessed through annual internal audits that measure performance against stringent SMS standards.
We share best practices across all our sites globally and seek perfection in everything we do. Through SMS, we set the standard for superior execution and deliver results and value that make us the global leader in our industry.
Daily Management Process (DMP)
DMPs are high-frequency, regularly scheduled, two-way discussions between leaders and employees. DMPs engage all our employees in our business and in ways to improve it. Facilitated at standardized metrics and visual boards at Shawcor sites around the world, DMPs also help by:
- Accelerating the speed at which we react and recover from out-of-control conditions
- Facilitating good leadership practices
- Enabling fact and data-driven leadership and decision making
- Promoting an effective visual workplace
In many sites, multi-tiered DMPs (work center, department, function, plant) are used to encourage ownership and engagement by the respective teams. Metrics at each DMP are defined by the team and aligned to the plant and business metrics. For example, on-time delivery at the plant level may be defined as schedule attainment at the work center.
