Procuring a new machine or introducing big changes is not always the best way to achieve increased efficiency. Sometimes small investments in automation or digitalization can deliver great results. Adding a quality management or a reporting feature to your master computer or installing a visual support system to a station can be executed during the off-season and give you a head start next peak season.
Without making progress you can be left behind. Nothing could be more true than this saying, because only enjoying a quieter time may result in falling behind the competitors that improve their plants. Stay ahead and use the off-season to implement and make some smaller investments that will get and keep you ahead of the competitors in the market.
One of the biggest advantages of investing during the off-season is its predictability. Having fewer projects leads to less time pressure in production. Short installation times enable accurate forecasting. All these factors allow to plan and execute investments with minimal effect on your production and maximum output.
Think about the projects that are coming up in the next peak season. Define your goals for the years ahead. Where will be your focus? Automation, digitalisation or maybe sustainability? Take some time to consider all aspects and make sure you know what you want to achieve. Thus, it will be your first step to choose the perfect investment.
