Struggling to find the right people?
Worried they won't show up?
Concerned you can't afford to pay what they want?
MAYBE IT'S TIME TO THINK DIFFERENTLY
This Florida lumber company offers catalog and custom doors. Their first piece of equipment was a pre-owned ANDI Stratos Pro CNC router they installed in 2009.
More recently they added a Vacuum Lifter (shown above) which allowed one operator to easily load materials without help. As the operator became familiar with the lifter, the company saw production steadily increase.
They soon realized the same operator had the capacity to feed two machines.
What would have normally required four employees could be accomplished by just one employee.
Employee satisfaction increased, quality increased, production increased while staffing needs decreased along with the variable costs for employee benefits, leading to greater profits.
Shop owners will continue to face staffing challenges for the foreseeable future.
