The wins for Total Kitchen Solutions
PCs on the factory floor at Total Kitchen Solutions in Mt Gambier turned into 28% more kitchens per month from the same team — and $80,000 a year back on the wage bill.
PCs on the floor
Managing Director Richard Hein put PCs at the workstations in the Mt Gambier workshop so staff clock straight onto jobs as they work. "Using PCs on the factory floor and Empower we get an estimated 28% more kitchens per month from our factory staff."
Same team, more output
The 28% lift came from the same staff — not extra hires, not longer shifts. Live time data made it obvious where minutes were leaking to non-value-added work, and the team acted on it.
$80,000 a year in wages
That productivity gain translated to $80,000 per year in wage cost savings — a number that compounds every year Empower runs the floor.
