Capacity that you can increase inside an existing plant, why wouldn't you do it right? That doesn't make a lot of sense. And those two things go hand in hand. And I'll give you an example of the how the skills gap and exactly what you're talking about go hand in hand. We have a current client where we are, we are engaged with to increase the current capacity of their existing plant. And they have a machine that is existed within their company for over 10 years and it runs at about 10 units a minute lower than it should. And they have an entire maintenance staff and a maintenance manager. And they have the vendor that comes in twice a year to do the PMS and it still runs 10 units a minute less than it should. And they have a finance department and a leadership team whose focus is cut costs. How do we cut cost? So they're not investing in their people, right? And they're not ensuring that they have the absolute highest quality folks in those positions because those folks cost more money. Well, it's costing them 10 units a minute and we fixed it with an Allen key and some HDMI settings. An Allen key and a few HMI settings. Yeah. And it's millions of units a year, right? So you're, you're the focus. There's this culmination between, yes, we're losing people. We're absolutely doing that. We're absolutely losing skills. But then you've got the corporate culture of lean everything out. That's crushing the ability to maximize existing capacity. Your lack of investment in spending, I don't know, 20 grand on a training class here and there, a training budget of 100, two 100K a year. And in exchange for that, you're willing to toss away millions of units annually. Yeah. That, that's just, that doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. It's because they don't see the link between the two, because it's not a I pay for this in a machine, is there, that I can depreciate, that I can quantify somehow. They can't quantify training. But when we come in and we increase the thing by several million units, you know, in a couple of hours, that quantifies the training, right? I mean, you think it which it should, but I don't know that it will. I don't know that next year they're increase, they'll instantaneously increase that budget to make sure that the training exists so that they don't end up in this position in the future. It should just like everyone should have said, well, yeah, I should absolutely maximize the assets I have, right? Unless they were at such an age. But age doesn't matter, right? I mean, there's Model T Fords that drive today and there's Model T Fords that rot in the earth. And the difference was how well they were taken care of, not the age, right? So. I don't know. I think there's lots of opportunity internally within existing facilities, yeah. Do you think? And I also have noticed that a lot and I to me, it always seems like it comes down to a general understanding of cost benefit. And not understanding the, the, the vehicle of that cost benefit is what hurts, right? We have finance like you're saying, we have financial people, we have quality assurance people. We have all these people who are trying to impose their will on a thing, an asset that's designed to do a thing, right? And if you don't know the vehicle, the mechanisms that derive the most value out of those things, well then it's easy for you to be like, ohh, well, lean 5. 6 Sigma lean this lean not just get rid of stuff right? It's easy to have that swirl in your mind when you don't fully understand. The vehicle, the mechanisms of capacity within your assets, right. The keyword that you the phrase that you said, well there was that they don't fully understand a they're not qualified to.

Besides whatever mentioned by George Williams, I believe that the lack of the Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) could be considered as one reason for NOT taking the competency management into account! Speaking of the continues striving to Quantitative everything (which is definitely not applicable), I can’t forget when I was struggling to influence the higher management about the advantages of having CMMS instead the manual process we used to manage the maintenance activities! I was in a position to quantify the merits of having CMMS, and therefore, proof the Return of Investment 😅

Learn to ask the question, "Can anybody else use this?" Our CEO, Heather Johnson, recently appeared on 'The Faces of Business Podcast' hosted by Damon Pistulka √. They discussed the implications of labeling something as waste and its impact on a company. Once you designate something as waste, it must be managed as such. However, if you delay labeling it as waste and ensure there's no better use for it, you may avoid the regulatory constraints. Tune in now to discover how one man's junk can be another man's treasure. #sustainability https://lnkd.in/exHURdTK

What does the word ‘renew’ mean to you when considering our existing building landscape? Maybe we don’t use it enough.. Tear down Replace Restore Gut rehab All of these words often utilized when considering how to tackle an existing asset. What if we were to enhance or renew what we have on our hands - ultimately with the objective of balancing lowering overall carbon footprint. That is, with a healthy balance of operational vs. embodied carbon in our efforts not only to renew, but to sustain. Matthew Bronski of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) shares his thoughts on the All Things facades podcast.

One of the key insights I share with fellow investors and students is to embrace discomfort early on. The unknown and those 'I don't know what's going on' moments are inevitable. But it's through navigating these challenges, we truly grow and learn to handle whatever comes our way. Remember, this is how everyone progresses. 😉 . . .
