You’ve Hired Skilled Workers, Now Provide the Tools For Success

steel erpRoll forming and building material manufacturers rely on skilled workers to perform tasks with reliability, integrity and productivity. High quality products are necessary to satisfy demanding customers and employees play a large role in successful operations. The other part of the equation is data. Business leaders must have operational insight to improve the quality of products, while also increasing productivity and profitability.

Skilled workers need more than the tools along the production line in order to succeed in various job tasks. As discussed in “Buried Costs: The Critical Answers Roll Forming and Building Material Manufacturers Get Wrong with Disconnected Data,” without automating tasks and capturing data across production, you are making it difficult for your team. Operators won’t be able to attach variances to batches that affect quality, weight or scrap. Exceptions will interrupt production, skewing schedules and impacting customer shipments. In addition, it will be difficult to identify the top performer practices, so that you can further improve productivity throughout production. Modern business management solutions can support your employees, improving quality and increasing productivity across the organization.
