COVID-19 has not just caused a temporary interruption to our everyday lives, it has ushered in a new reality.  The basic principles of safety will not change, but the strategies and tactics must.  All change impacts safety, and leaders need to address these changes with strategic planning and proactive practices.  Poor safety performance is an indicator of inadequate strategic planning.

Organizations that remain committed to the pursuit of safety excellence have been proactively examining the best case, worst case, and most likely scenarios. They are working to outline actions under these three scenarios as they plan for the new normal and the reopening of the global economy. Learn how to remain committed to safety excellence during confusing times and how to maintain the focus on and in safety.  While there is always risk of doing the wrong thing, there is a greater danger in doing nothing. It is time to begin strategically planning for the new reality.

Are you ready to take control and secure your safety future?

Once President Trump announced the “Opening Up America Again” guidance on April 16, which provides discretion to state governors and local officials to make individual determinations about relaxing return-to-work and non-essential business closure orders, states immediately began to announce their plans for reopening businesses.

Over half (50 – 70%) of ERP projects fail. Despite the high costs incurred in failure, and the prominence of these projects, the success rate has not improved. Why?

Surveys and anecdotal reports consistently cite time, budgets, and lack of senior management involvement, but those are external factors to the direct implementation processes which should be followed and are normally the result of insufficient information prior to commencing with the project.

What elements of the project are under your immediate control and set the stage to eliminate these common failure reasons?

There are standard, widely accepted processes required for a software implementation project, including planning, documenting, training and testing. One critical task which is commonly not done or done poorly is a formal Business Process Review (BPR). Without  a solid BPR, project requirements are not formally defined nor prioritized, so the potential software features and design – which may not be related directly to your business goals — become the de facto requirements. Although the review may be done as part of the implementation project, ultimately the BPR should be performed prior to selecting software, so there is a basis and justification for the decision.

Join John Hoyt and Jane Scanlan, co-founders of the Next Level Manufacturing Consulting Group to learn about the key elements of a great BPR that, when done correctly, will contribute to a higher probability of success for your project. These elements include:

• Documenting standard business process functions and controls
• Interviewing key management and staff
• Reviewing existing system features and related procedures
• Gathering current forms and reports
• Developing process improvement recommendations
• Defining priorities

While none of us are sure of when the end of the pandemic will be, we realize our manufacturing operations are in a time of transition. We’ve gone from the preparation phase to the reaction phase and now we’re planning for what the future looks like. Whether your maintenance operations have slowed and you’re now ramping back up to normal or you’re recovering from adjusting to a more hectic schedule to deliver critical products, it is an inflection point time in your business where decisions made in the next few months will determine your future.

Join our webinar to help tackling questions like:

• What have you learned from operating during COVID-19?
• What do your short-, mid- and long-term plans in the aftermath look like?
• What can you do to set yourself up for a successful transition to the “new normal”?

We’ll share tools you can implement now and in the future to:

• Report and analyze your work (like COVID-19 tasks and deferred maintenance you may have addressed)
• Focus in on operational improvements you can make immediately (like digital documentation, maximizing staff efficiency, optimizing workflow, becoming more lean, improving parts and procurement, etc.)
• Invest in technology to help with mobile/remote work and communication

Taking advantage of opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce energy-related costs often requires investment in new equipment, technology, or controls. Identifying funding available to your business and providing estimates of project payback are key components to reaching your goals.

Often, many companies are eligible to apply for funding to assist with improvement efforts. Eligibility of sites and projects, however, should be considered carefully.

This PennTAP webinar will discuss funding opportunities for energy efficiency equipment upgrades for small to mid-sized companies throughout Pennsylvania.
