What is TESQUIR®?
Manufacturing is at once the primary influencer of cost, quality and throughput. Over time, the function has moved from an “entrepreneurial model” to a “systems-driven approach”. This evolution has instilled greater systemic discipline, but has substantially reduced the role of individual enterprise and leadership. With the result that manufacturing systems today are overly mechanistic. TESQUIR® believes in the middle ground, and aspires to create an environment of “thoughtful discipline” by integrating “systemic discipline” with “purposeful personal leadership”. TESQUIR® assesses the measure of excellence in your manufacturing function along its five component dimensions, and identifies entrenched mindsets related to the relative importance and primacy of “systems-driven” and “entrepreneurial” models.

Why worry about “thoughtful discipline”? Why get TESQUIR®?
Inspired by systems-driven approaches, manufacturing organisations run the risk of evolving into thoughtless and automated giants, sans the elevating and moderating influence of personal enterprise and leadership. TESQUIR® emphasises the element of human leadership within the systems construct. The goal is to integrate the two worlds through the application of five dimensions of personalisation. In addition, TESQUIR® inquires into employees’ mindsets about the two divergent approaches, and identifies beliefs, attitudes and behaviours that attenuate or stymie manufacturing performance. Get TESQUIR® to achieve excellence in your manufacturing function by breathing human elements into the organisation, thereby moving some distance away from extreme systems-driven approaches.

Who will benefit from TESQUIR®?
Chief executives and business heads benefit from TESQUIR® due to enhanced throughput and reduced costs. Manufacturing heads benefit in several ways. First, TESQUIR® enables them to insert and instill the human element of leadership in intricately laid out manufacturing systems. Second, the integration of “systems approach” with the “entrepreneurial model” has positive impact on product and process quality. Third, TESQUIR® helps manufacturing heads feel the organisation's pulse by unearthing deep-rooted mindsets. Manufacturing managers and supervisors benefit from being able to better understand workers on the manufacturing line. Adjacent functions such as R&D and supply chain benefit from more effective collaboration brought about by the freshly inserted “human element”.

Where (in which settings) should you get TESQUIR®?
Get TESQUIR® to instill excellence in manufacturing when you notice any of the following five lacunae. First, “manufacturing sans human element”: when the manufacturing system is overly dependent on processes and algorithms, and has no space for human elements of leadership and enterprise. Second, “manufacturing sans strategy”: when the system takes centre stage, but lacks the dynamism and direction of manufacturing strategy. Third, “manufacturing sans collaboration”: when the track record of cooperation with adjacent functions is patchy. Fourth, “manufacturing sans motivation”: when supervisors and line workers display high levels of skill but poor levels of motivation. Fifth, “manufacturing sans mindsets”: when embedded attitudes do not help build manufacturing excellence.

How does TESQUIR® work?
The design of TESQUIR® is based on our proprietary six-part framework called “PERSYST”. With TESQUIR®, you undergo “installation”, “engagement”, “analysis” and “dissemination” over twelve weeks. To install TESQUIR®, you specify the lacunae that necessitates product usage; provide data related to the manufacturing organisation and its C-Q-T performance; outline your characterisation of the human elements that are missing; and nominate research respondents. TESQUIR® then examines the data and interacts with respondents. The final output for leadership includes a quantitative assessment of the manufacturing function along five dimensions, a narration of enabling and limiting mindsets, and an enumeration of interventions to integrate the human element within the systemic superstructure.

When during the operating year should you get TESQUIR®?
TESQUIR® is designed for biennial as well as episodic usage. TESQUIR® requires twelve weeks to go through the ‘installing’, ‘engaging’, ‘analysing’ and ‘disseminating’ phases. When using TESQUIR® on a biennial cycle, we recommend usage during the first, third or fourth quarters. Usage in the first quarter is advantageous in that the research output has impact on manufacturing for three quarters of the ongoing year. Usage in the third and fourth quarter is advantageous in that it aligns with the capital budgeting and manufacturing planning processes for the upcoming year. While TESQUIR® can be used in second quarter, the research is better undertaken at other times. For episodic usage, we do not suggest a timing. Use TESQUIR® whenever you notice any of the five lacunae mentioned earlier.
