Businesses have found that they can gain competitive advantages over their competitors, which is essential in this time of economic slow down, by working smarter and this means more profit.

This has never been as important until recently during the current recession.

The easiest way to work smarter is to computerize the production facility; some businesses have dismissed this due to costs, however it is worth it in the long run, as you will see.

As most companies have software such as SAP, which can be used to provide reports on almost any business application, it can even be used to highlight which staff member creates the most scrap and which employee works the most efficient, this is a handy tool to evaluate staff performance and reviews.

Any Manager can go to any networked computer using the SAP system, enter their user name and password and have instant access to these reports, even down to the amount of profit or loss the business has made up to the last 30 minutes! These are the tools for recession proofing any business.

Now you can see how important these tools are for improving productivity and reducing wastage?

The employee that makes the most scrap can be incentivised to reduce this by giving them a bonus and the employee who works most efficiently gets a bonus for his efficient work.

Now the problem arises, that if you use a standard un-protected computer in a dusty environment other thanndard)or Nema4 (USA standard) proving a dust free environment for the valuable IT investment. These units extend the lifespan of the computer as well as protecting the data, so much so one company Computer Security & Solutions offer a 10 year warranty on their enclosures, meaning that the computer will last a minimum of ten years! Making computerizing the factory floor very cost effective and within every manufacturers financial reach.

Companies such as Nestle, SCA Packaging, Pilkington Glass and Reiter Automotive all use this sort of software and protection for their computers. This separates them from their competitors, so it is good to learn from the best and they are good business models to follow.

Utilising computers and man power results in less labour costs with greater profit, as computers are more efficient and can run production machines, employees can make sure the computers are doing the tasks they are set to do, whilst loading raw material into the machines for the next production run.
