Why Use Best Practices?
"Success is a great teacher" and "Learn by example" are popular sayings because what better way to learn than from the successes of others. This philosophy is the strategy behind our Best Practices Program.
The goal of the program is to introduce proven "practices" that others have successfully used to increase employee productivity and company profits. We can help you adapt these "practices" to your operations and programs to improve productivity and advance the skills of your workers.
Implementing any of these best practices can help a company or a community immediately and the results can be quite dramatic.
For example, a recent Industry Week study of 1,750 manufacturing plants showed the value of keeping experienced workers through a formalized retention program. Plants with a 3% turnover rate achieved a median productivity of $200,000 per employee, that figure dropped to $120,000 for plants with turnover rates of 20% or more. Experienced workers produce more for less and a formalized best practice retention program can pay for itself.
The Industry Week study went on to say that the best managed companies "have discovered that their long-term success will be limited not by the quality of their products, but by the quality of their people." "It is people who differentiate a company."
We have trained workforce specialists who can assist you as needed to improve the skills of your workforce. If you would like help implementing a best practice or want more information on best practices available, contact us via our contact us form.

"In 2004, we purchased our first CNC Machine... crucial to our program of rapid prototyping. We had a trained operator employed to run this machine when it was received. Shortly after, our operator was lured away by the glamour of a large company and our progress was halted. With the help of WEDnetPA, we were able to have other employees trained to operate this equipment. It is now operating and making the prototypes we so desperately need to complete our engineering designs. As a small company it is difficult at times to compete in a market so saturated with large employers. The WEDnetPA program provides our staff with the training necessary and the ability to use Boehringerís best tool against competition ó the ability to work fast."
