Client Report: Reducing Manufacturing Lead Times

Graduate Coursework: Analysis of Performance and Instructional Systems

Software: Adobe InDesign

Date: July 2021

Situation: Many manufacturing companies face delays in their production processes, impacting efficiency and output. For this project, I analyzed this common industry challenge and developed a mock client report to propose solutions.

Task: My objective was to identify the root causes of these inefficiencies and recommend targeted strategies to optimize performance.

Action: I conducted a comprehensive needs analysis, evaluating workplace processes, organizational goals, and performance gaps. This involved gathering and synthesizing data to distinguish between instructional and non-instructional factors affecting lead times.

Result: The final report provided actionable recommendations tailored to the manufacturing context, including process improvements and training interventions. While this was a mock client project, it demonstrates my ability to analyze complex performance challenges, apply data-driven insights, and design effective strategies that drive measurable improvements.
