The professional management of a company producing milk covers multiple facets that can hardly be exhausted in this note, but still an activity that we have been playing for a long time, we would like to share some thoughts that may be useful to those who are in administrative functions, or try to tackle it.
The technical factor
The technical profile of a manager for milk production would be similar to that of a clinician as it covers, with a certain level of depth, all the topics that make the health of the system by maintaining the balance between the technical and the economic.
You should be aware that there is a recipe for putting together a production systembut, according to the conjugation of the factors land, labor and capital, seek to implement an approach is very efficient for the production goals chosen (see diagram "Dynamic Systems of Production") and as tight as possible to the vocation of the business. In this context, the achievement of a high technical efficiency is a necessary condition for the achievement of economic success and it is natural to think that the majority of individuals look for a level of efficiency suitable for your situation, which some manage to maximizing the production and the other minimizing the media. The HOW is usually more important than the WHAT. The activity will require an ability to recognize causes of the abnormalities or deviations technical as well as sensitivity to perceive emotional issues that may be affecting the staff. It's very useful to have a network of contacts specialists to whom to consult or involve to when the case warrants.
The human factor
To meet the objectives productive staff of the establishment is a fundamental. Discounting that have the amenities necessary and sufficient, is required to achieve involve them emotionally to the task: to be and to feel part of the project. The success of the management of a project tambero requires a good "Plan the Theft of the Century": it is to put together a good team of "accomplices"! An accomplice is a partner who knows the plan, he knows the risks, assumes their responsibility and trust the rest...and also, as for the law, is a person without which "it would not be possible to commit the deed". The reward has an economic aspect, and one emotional so there are two ways to pay: one with coins and one with recognition.
To favour dialogue over monologue and the transmission of ideas about the orders. To generate an environment where there is feedback by enhancing the reflection of both parties. A leader who does not know how to listen in a short time you will have co-workers with nothing to say. Most of the workers that one finds in the drums have a hunger for glory,” I like doing things well and being able to comment in a meeting of friends, colleagues or family” ...we're taking 30 liters!”
We will continue to!
