Operations and phenotyping

Having a standard process for performing the work you do is essential to providing quality products and services to your customers. Documenting the current best-known way of doing the work ensures consistency. In this month’s Operational Excellence Webinar, learn about standard work and how to document it.

In this five-day workshop video series, EiB's Breeding Operations Network for Development (BOND) and IITA facilitated operational leads and breeders in the West Africa region to build knowledge, and discuss progress to improve regional breeding operations. 

This webinar is one of our monthly Operational Excellence Webinars to support and promote a continuous improvement culture. The webinar begins with a quick review of some behaviors that exist in a continuous improvement culture. Kehinde will lead a session on process mapping that will feature the value stream map.Ben Hartman (Clay Bottom Farms), Chyka Okarter (USAID Nigeria FtF Agricultural Extension & Advisory Services Activity) and Jean-Pierre Rousseau (Winrock International) will present their work in creating Lean farms in Nigeria.

As part of the BOND network, we explored Corteva's approach to embedding culture and practices of sound health and safety, followed by IITA's operational health and safety practices.
