Resolved! Three Steps to Position Your Operations for Success

Positioned for Success in 2022

Webster’s Dictionary defines RESOLUTION as the act of finding an answer or solution to a conflict, or problem. It is the act of resolving something, an answer, or a solution to something. 

We all have something that comes to mind when we think about a personal resolution. However, have you also stepped back and reviewed your 5-year business plan and the current projects you are working on to see if they need an overhaul? Have you analyzed whether the steps you are taking today make your overall journey the most efficient? 

Successful companies pursue forward-thinking strategies to maintain their success into the future. Are your plans based on a volatile supply chain with nothing but uncertainty around it? Think beyond today and plan for unforeseen events in 2022. 

As technology advances, automation is becoming an integral part of operations, and success is finding that balance between it and humans. The current labor shortage has required companies to accommodate and innovate to respond to this problem. HaF Equipment has listened to the issues the manufacturing industry has faced and responded. We are at the forefront of the bulk material handling industry in designing, engineering, and developing innovations and automation to drive companies to their next level of success, and we welcome 2022 positioned for success.

Steps to Success

HaF knows that every decision made today impacts tomorrow’s success, and we’re walking the same unknowns as you. However, we are committed to helping our clients make the best decisions for their future! Below we outline three steps to help.

 

  1. Stop. Stop for five minutes and answer these two questions – What’s Working? What’s Not? It is simple. Write down what works well in your operations, and then list what is not working.
  2. Contact. Contact HaF Equipment and let’s connect. We want to hear your answer to “What’s Not Working?”. Together, we will determine solutions to fill or eliminate weak spots and implement the solutions.
    • If equipment maintenance slows down production due to lack of parts, then set up your maintenance department with backup parts to prepare for the unexpected. Planning ahead will save time and potentially higher costs.
  3. In-Person Audit. Improve. Analyze your process
    • Is there a skip in the beat, and you’re not exactly sure where the problem is? We will perform an in person audit of your operations and our expert engineer will meet with you and develop a written report of best next steps, using industry best practices. Your steps today can lead to success tomorrow.

Successful companies pursue forward-thinking strategies to maintain their success into the future.

At HaF Equipment, we are constantly looking at the next phase of innovation. The success of our customers drives our success. Contact us today to discuss how we can help you welcome a successful 2022.

How Company Culture in Manufacturing Affects Customer Relations

How Company Culture in Manufacturing Affects Customer Relations

Company culture in manufacturing should be more than just a few ping-pong tables and happy hour Fridays. It’s the sum of thousands of little decisions made day in and day out that determine how people feel about their work, their colleagues, and themselves. It is a mix of values, beliefs, and practices that the members of an organization share.

Larry Alton, Forbes, writes, “A strong company culture attracts better talent and, more importantly, retains that talent. When people feel like they belong to an organization, they’re more likely to stick around for the long term. That means lower turnover, fewer new hires to deal with, and better chemistry among your team.”

The best companies know they would be nothing without their talented people working together as a team while producing outstanding results for a customer.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

Company culture in manufacturing matters because it can directly impact how your business performs in attracting top talent while also helping to keep them happy. The best companies know they would be nothing without their talented people working together as a team while producing outstanding results for a customer.  

When people feel like they belong to an organization, they’re more likely to stick around for the long term. That means lower turnover, fewer new hires to deal with, and better chemistry among teams. 

COMPANY CULTURE DRIVES YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE

In manufacturing, teamwork is critical. It forms a partnership mentality with the customer, and we’re not afraid to say that there will be challenges on some projects. However, if the company culture dictates, dedication and enthusiasm for solving problems will be an asset on every project, no matter if it’s challenging or not. 

What’s most important for our team and everyone involved at every stage of production is to have an open mind and dedication. And at HaF, it goes without saying we’re “Ready to Connect!” Our culture focuses on teamwork, hard work, being elite in our craft, driven-yet-fun, and humbly confident. We work with our customers to connect at a deeper level and with a partnership attitude.
