I sat down with industry consultant Howie Fenton to get his insights for shop managers about what they can to do differently post-pandemic. I got his insights in three areas- staffing. generating sales and conveying value; and workflow.

Howie had great insights for in-plants about:

  1. Being proactive to find new staff.
  2. Using videos for sales efforts and customer meetings to demonstrate new products and your value as a problem solver.
  3. How workflow automation improves productivity and demonstrates that the in-plant is a "good steward" of the parent organization's budget. Howie discussed how two clients- one building a new in-plant to stop $5 million in outsourcing and a second that is consolidating operations- can both use workflow to improve productivity, reduce staff costs and demonstrate their value.
