4 Ways to Upgrade Your Production Line

May 3, 2020 by Christopher

The key to running a more efficient factory is not only to trust in the right equipment but also to engage the workers using it.

International investment is high still in industries, and keeping factories running smoothly can only improve this.

In fact, manufacturing represents 40.8% of the position of investment. There are several ways you can ensure that your factory runs more efficiently and therefore brings in maximum profits for your business.

 

#1 Marketing Analytics

Now is the time to prioritize. Analyze your client base and figure out which brings you in the most revenue and which are not doing the best for your business.

Reward loyalty, consistency, and profitability. There might also be clients at the bottom of the list due to being unreliable or overly-demanding.

By understanding where the majority of your money comes from you’ll know how and where to focus your marketing. CRM software can help you to do this more efficiently. Set realistic goals based on your previous production.

Map out the stages of putting these into place and working towards achieving them. Calculate a realistic time frame, and monitor carefully at each stage in development.

 

#2 Collaboration and Innovation

Do your research and invest in the right equipment for your production line. Collaborate with experts in design and printing. To get great results on a faster turn around, it’s advisable to work with a rapid tooling prototyping company.

These days there are also a number of manufacturing apps that can assist you along the way, so why not let technology do the work for you? You also have auditing and checklists for inspections available in different apps.

You can utilize digital manufacturing tools as well to allow you to view a virtual factory.

 

#3 Optimize Test Stations

Test stations are crucial to any successful production line.

Leak tests, for example, will help you to find dangerous leaks faster, and in order to do this efficiently, you might need to upgrade your software, see here for how to improve your leak test.

In any case, the software is key in helping you test things like pressure regulation, safety, and productivity with higher accuracy.

The more data you collect from each test cycle, the greater knowledge you’ll have to increase the plant’s reliability and efficiency.

 

#4 Pinpoint Strengths and Weaknesses

Where along the factory line do problems generally occur? If you can pinpoint where things usually go wrong it’ll be easier to find a solution. Are these issues due to an employee or a part of machinery?

Or perhaps you have an organization or communication problem somewhere down the line. Who has helped to improve the efficiency of the factory? Reward any creative input, hard work, or good behavior that goes towards making your factory run more smoothly.

Ensure that staff is aware that their progress is being noted and be as verbal and reassuring as possible. If your staff feel like they are being appreciated they’re more likely to be motivated and do a good job.
