From our viewpoint
You might be facing throughput, labor, and capacity challenges that block your progress toward:
Profitability, cost reduction, & growth
Competitive strength
Strategic sourcing & negotiation
Accurate demand planning
Overcoming those barriers to success requires end-to-end supply chain expertise, shoulder-to-shoulder teamwork, and buy in. That’s why you’re here.
Have you analyzed your skills gap?
A leading manufacturer of cables suffered a skills gap when two problems converged. Vital legacy information was lost with the retirement of key employees; and silos between Human Resources, operations, and leadership meant that HR severely underestimated the types and number of employees they needed to hire. The company did not have a skills gap: they had a training, data, and communications gap.
Improve Your Training
Numerous studies have shown the strong connection between low turnover and professional development for employees. New skills and recognition motivate employees as much as or more than money. By offering training and cross-training, a company not only prevents turnover but ensures that no one employee carries all the specialized skills the company needs.
Evaluate Your Operations
Your skills gap may instead be a throughput and efficiency gap. Throwing more people or machines at a broken process will not fix the process. Once you raise overall equipment effectiveness, improve maintenance procedures, eliminate unplanned and unnecessary downtime, and optimize processes, your current employees will deploy their skills more effectively. Data analytics and an SIOP assessment may reveal both hidden bottlenecks and overlooked opportunities.
Plan with Your End-to-End Supply Chain in Mind
Every part of the supply chain affects every other part. Before you build a plant closer to your suppliers, consider whether that location is attractive to new hires and whether the local workforce has the capabilities you need. Before you introduce a new product, use advanced data analytics and simulation to find out how the supply chain will react: do you need to increase shifts or assembly lines; are your logistics sufficient to deliver another product OTIF; are your suppliers capable of sourcing the materials you need?
SGS Maine Pointe has found that the shortest path through a skills gap involves data analytics, cultural change, process optimization, and end-to-end supply chain simulation to ensure the profits, growth, EBITDA, and ROI that you and your skilled employees deserve.
