1. Think big!
One of the best ways to be more efficient is to think big; How can a person do more? Move more quantity and volume of goods in less time.
If we look at the mining industry, for example, which is one of the largest in the world, we can see how from a small 10-ton excavator they now excavate with hundreds of tons of excavators; dump truck wheels are 3 times larger than the operator. During the last decades they have managed to greatly reduce operating costs by using bigger and better tools; Larger and more advanced equipment and machinery, improved technology, etc.
For example, if you grow bananas and have to deliver them 1000 km from the farm to the capital, you can pack them in 13 kg boxes or 1000 kg bulk containers. How is it more profitable?
2. Better technology!
We have many clients in Indonesia who transport large quantities of heavy goods on pallets such as cement, rubber bales and ceramics. Some of them transport 100,000 tons a year and more.
A simple RFID on each pallet allows the owner to know exactly where the pallets are; If you have barcodes on your cement bags or ceramic tile boxes, you can even know exactly when it was produced, where it is now, how much inventory it has in stock, etc. with simple software.
Better technology makes your entire operation more efficient, not just the logistics section.
3. Training!
The best companies have the best people!
When you look at the biggest and best companies in the world like Apple, Google and Facebook, you can see how they fight each other to get the best talent and how much they invest in training and better working conditions.
Employees, who have better tools, superior technology, better training and better working conditions, are better concentrated, more motivated, loyal and efficient. If each of your employees and managers thought every day how to improve the operation because they like the company or the bonus … Amazing ideas can come up to improve the operation from production to material handling, packaging, loading and transportation.
4. Act fast!
One of the keys to being more efficient is to act fast!
How long does it take to make a change in your organization?
The most efficient companies are those that manage change and improvements in their operation in an agile way. Top management and owners must be open to new and better ideas, and employees and management must be motivated to seek better and faster ways of doing things.
In a competitive market, companies that improve faster win the battle, as they can produce better and cheaper thanks to an improved system of motivated people who care and want to be part of the best company.
