Where are my trucks? This load is hot! This pump is costing me $200 an hour! This load is too wet! This load is too dry! What’s my spacing? I have too many trucks now! Why are my material costs so high? Why does it take so long at the slump rack? Why does it take so long to swap materials in the bins?
How many times do you hear this day after day, and why do I hear it repeatedly? These questions never seem to go away. How do I fix this you ask? Hire us, the experts in ready mix integrated with a new, unique technology. With our computer expertise, plant expertise, Command Alkon and Trimble expertise, coupled with day-to-day ready mix operations experience outlined below; find out how we can save you money and improve your customer satisfaction and your bottom line.
Production:
In these hard times, production/delivery is the key. You need to be on top of everything from batching to delivery. Are your drivers trained properly? Are your batch men trained? The hardest thing about operations in the concrete business is communication and accountability. The loader operator and the laborer working as one unit is the only way to make sure you are giving the customer what they need while not cutting corners to save a buck. Cutting corners actually costs you time and money, and eventually costs you customers. Advanced Networks & Security has the experience to train your personnel to correctly handle every scenario and to have them working as one unit.
Load operators are the key to many areas of improvement.
We can train your load operators to work with your batch men in order to fine-tune your material handling. This will ensure the moisture content is correct going in and that the materials are swapped out quickly. By utilizing industry-proven solutions, we can bring our expertise and years of experience to your operation. We will teach your load operators how to correctly work with and communicate to the batch men important information so that the time to load is reduced, thereby improving the quality of your products.
Batch Men:
Do your batch men communicate with the loader operator? How long are you waiting for material to be drained so that you can switch materials? Do your batch men talk to the drivers? Do the drivers know what to look for and what information is needed by the batch men to improve operations and ensure quality products go out the door correctly the first time? Are you getting a lot of rejected loads? Are your drivers adding water before or after they get to the job site? If so, do you know how much? Are your batch men communicating the right information to the plant manager? Let us train them to be an efficient and effective team.
Drivers:
Drivers are a rare breed, we all agree on that. They are either the greatest, or they make you grow grayer by the day. Although important that drivers need to be trained in safety and how to keep a truck clean, we at Advanced Networks & Security train them to work with the customer and with your other employees. This will increase their efficiency and save you dollars.
For example: There is a lot of time wasted at the slump racks in most ready mix businesses. Are your drivers spending more than five minutes at the slump racks? National averages have been about 15 minutes. Let us show you how to reduce it to about five NOTE 13 minutes. We have seen savings in the area of $115,000.00 a year when we apply our industry knowledge to your business processes in this area alone.
We have the details on what and how to do this.
What about material costs? Are they higher than the national average? By means of a thorough assessment, we can find out if you are losing or wasting material through as many as 15 different sources. These savings can be as much as $8,000.00 to $60,000.00 per year, or more if we fine tune your processes and fix equipment identified in our assessment.
