You are starting Q3, substantially impacting the rest of your fiscal year. What your manufacturing firm accomplishes in the next three months affects your bottom line.
As a result, you should start planning and implementing your Q3 goals now. These tips can help.
Implement these five tips for starting Q3 strong.
1. Review Your Previous Quarters
Focus on what did and did not go well in Q1 and Q2. Then, use these successes and failures to determine what you achieved, what you still want to work toward, and how to adjust your strategy.
Measure and reflect on your manufacturing firm’s year-to-date performance and how you can continue to increase it. Understanding where your firm is now helps determine where you want it to go.
2. Determine Your Q3 Approach
Decide what should remain the same and what should change in Q3. Whether you do things differently or do different things will impact your results.
For instance, focus on the efficiency and effectiveness of your systems and procedures. Examples include your scheduling, training materials, and managing and tracking inventory methods. Then, take steps to improve in the necessary areas.
3. Develop Your Q3 Goals
Determine what you want to accomplish throughout Q3. These accomplishments may include one big goal or a series of smaller goals.
Ensure each goal is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Following this formula increases the odds of achieving what you set out to do.
4. Implement Your Action Plan
Begin implementing your SMART goals for Q3. Continue to build on your successes in Q1 and Q2 to keep your momentum going.
Regularly measure the impact of your goals to determine whether they are having the desired effect on your firm. Adjust your approach as needed.
