Process Control: Improving the Productivity of Your Small Factory

Several years ago, I purchased a small clothing factory. My goal was to focus on producing quality goods that were affordable for people on fixed incomes. It didn't take me long to see that we needed to improve the production process. To get started, I brought in a production and efficiency expert. She looked at our current production layout and identified several ways to eliminate waste and shorten the amount of time needed to cut and assemble a garment. With some rearranging of machinery and job responsibilities, we were able to increase our productivity by 30% and reduce operational costs by the same amount. Whether your company produces clothing, widgets, or toys, it pays to take a second look at the process. Let me share what the expert did to help us. You may find some of those same suggestions will work for your operation.

What You Should Know About Buying HDPE Access Mats

If you need to be able to drive on dirty and muddy surfaces with your equipment, you may want to think about buying access mats that you can bring along with you to the sites where you work. HDPE access mats are a good option that you should consider, but if you're preparing to start using HDPE access mats, these are some of the things that you will probably want to know.

They Provide a Better Driving Surface

The first reason why you could be thinking about buying HDPE access mats might be because you would like to have a better and smoother driving surface for you and your employees to use when driving your trucks, construction equipment, and more. You should find that driving is much smoother and more comfortable, especially when you're driving on construction sites or other work sites that might otherwise be bumpy and uncomfortable. Additionally, you can avoid issues like getting your truck or equipment stuck when using these access mats. Overall, once you start using access mats on job sites, you might find that operating trucks and equipment is a lot easier and more comfortable than ever before.

They Help Protect the Ground

Another good reason to use HDPE access mats is that they help protect the ground. After all, the tires on big, heavy trucks and construction equipment can cause ruts in the dirt and can tear up the grass and other plants. This can cause environmental impacts in some places. Additionally, depending on the worksite, there is a good chance that your clients will not be very happy if you cause damage to the property, either. You can help prevent environmental damage and can help keep your customers happy by buying and using HDPE access mats that can help prevent unnecessary damage.

You Do Have Other Options

HDPE access mats are made out of a special type of durable plastic. They are a good choice because they can be cleaned easily and used over and over again. Plus, they are pretty affordable. However, they are not your only option if you are shopping for access mats. For example, there are wood access mats that you can purchase; they are heavier and more difficult to work with in many cases, however, and they can rot from being exposed to muddy and wet conditions over time. Therefore, even though it's not a bad idea to check out your other options for access mats, there is a good chance that you'll find that those that are made from HDPE will be your best choice.
