2. Think beyond the familiar material handling systems when you move to a new shop. Again, consider how material handling will benefit your workflow, efficiency and growth in your new space.
3. Too many people budget for only the equipment move. Downtime and disrupted fabrication cost the most money, because you generate limited or no revenue then. The actual move typically takes a week. Count on another 5 days when production is disrupted by pre-move preparations, plus the learning curve once you’re in the new facility.
4. With more room, some fabricators carry too much inventory. They think they’re getting “deals” on full-container orders. Really, they tie up precious cash flow in slab stock and risk fast-changing color trends. Stock a few months’ worth of stone, and focus on those colors with a selling track record.
5. Buying raw materials at a discount rarely creates a true competitive advantage. Stay ahead by removing bottlenecks in your shop. Find what slows you down and keeps you from putting out one more kitchen per week. Look hard at your systems and work practices for ways to increase output with the same size workforce, which is your largest expense.
