- Not knowing if your jobs are profitable.
You have a great team and they do great work but identifying if your jobs are profitable takes time and can be very difficult.
THE EFFECT
As you don’t have easy access to data associated with the amount of time that your team spends and the costs associated with your jobs, you cannot easily identify whether your jobs are profitable or not.
- Unable to analyse your jobs.
With everyone on your team quite busy and not having any useful data associated with your jobs it is very difficult to analyse your jobs at all.
THE EFFECT
Because you don’t have the right data at the right time that identifies speed, accuracy, work in progress and how effective your team are, you cannot analyse your jobs effectively.
- It is difficult scheduling your teams.
With your team very busy and the amount of work that comes through your workshop and without having the right information at hand it is difficult to schedule your team when new jobs come into the workshop.
THE EFFECT
Because you don’t have the data that allows you to identify who has been working on what jobs, the time it takes on your processes, an understanding of the capacity of your workshop and how busy your team are, you are constantly juggling your team across your jobs to try and meet your deadlines.
