The last couple of years has been anything but normal. With rising labor costs and a shrinking labor pool, there’s an emphasis on improving operational performance to stay competitive. The question is – what tools and processes can your organization implement to help get achieve the gains you need?
THE PROBLEM
When you look at advancements in productivity over the last couple of centuries, nearly all of them have one thing in common: taking a repetitive manual task and automating it. While the technology in commercial laundries have come a long way over the last few decades, there are still many processes stuck with manual work that should be automated.
With 51 percent of small business owners reporting they have jobs they cannot fill, it’s more important than ever to make every hour count. Take a step back and estimate how many hours your team allocates each week to collect, input, and analyze the data from around your plant. If only there was a way to collect this valuable data, while eliminating those hours.
