The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant effects on business, the most serious of which is employees having to work from home and the global labor shortage. During lockdown periods, field operators face serious challenges regarding on-site practice and support.

IT and operation managers now have to deal with a reduction in mission-critical efficiency, unplanned downtime, and labor shortages. This interrupts business operations and causes delays in deliveries and shipping across the entire supply chain. Labeling has become more critical than ever, to all those involved in the supply chains, to ensure reliability and traceability.

What difficulties do business executives need to address to keep the business running smoothly? According to a Forbes councils survey, generating revenue and time management are the top two challenges. Imagine a situation in which your operation team is confronted by a costly and time-consuming IT, or other serious issues, and need the support of an experienced engineer to solve the problem, which would otherwise hinder business growth.

Three ways to improve operational efficiency

Solutions to improve operations are not trivial, as insight and clear understanding of how work is organized and scheduled for daily operations is essential. Without these, attempts to improve operations can easily become ineffective. Three key factors including manageability, flexibility and predictability will help you strike the necessary balance to embrace all upcoming changes.

Management1

All organizations, despite their size or industry, need operations management. It serves as the “engine room” of an organization. Proper management is essential if an organization is to meet its goals and attain maximum profitability. The success of an organization relies on its operation and management efficiency.

Flexibility

Flexible business processes are very important quality criteria for safe and improved performance of any company in a volatile market2. KPMG findings show that with the right tools and methodologies, smart people and realistic planning, any organization can enhance its operational flexibility.

Insights

Predictability enables the organization to know, see, or declare production accurately in advance. Creating an environment in which workers can predict the consequences of their actions can improve the predictability in an organization’s relations with both customers and suppliers3. In an article by DHL Supply Chain, predictability is the foundation of a highly functional distribution system.

How can software and technology help to streamline business operations?

In addition to excellent customer experience and perception, technological progress improves the transformation of business operations and efficiency. According to Deloitte Insight, employers can invest in labor-saving technologies to enhance the productivity of workers. Business investment in equipment and software is notably high in countries where employers are facing a labor storage.

Software and technology can benefit the business in a holistic and efficient manner, this includes the lowering of operating costs, the improvement of productivity and the prevention of unplanned downtime. According to an InfoTrends white paper “Device Underuse and Unbalanced Fleets,” companies can maximize cost savings and productivity by introducing comprehensive print solutions.
