Changing With the Times

With a divided operation we had a long list of questions that demanded immediate answers if we were to offer continuity of our services and a seamless transition during our move. It was clear that we needed to re-think our operation and make a good number of workflow adjustments.

As in-plant managers, we tend to pursue changes only when absolutely necessary. Big workflow shifts are typically driven by equipment or systems acquisitions that require our operations to change to allow the new pieces to fit. Unless there is a radical reason for change, the meaning of the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" takes special significance in our line of work; we try not to mess with a good thing unless we absolutely must. Workflow revisions tend to be a matter of adapting instead of evolving.
