The wins for Equiptec
Napier industrial equipment manufacturer — tablets on the floor plus Empower gave workshop staff target times to beat, dropping 10% off both labour time and cost.
Before Empower, no target
Bruce Senior, Managing Director — "Before Empower there was no target time and therefore no meeting or beating of times." You can't manage against a target that doesn't exist.
Now, target times to beat
"Using tablets on the workshop floor and Empower Software, workshop staff focus on meeting and beating the times they are given as budgeted times." Visible targets change how the day runs.
Napier industrial equipment
Equiptec design and build industrial equipment out of Napier. Empower puts the workshop clock on the wall — and workshop staff take it from there.
