WHEN IT COMES TO AIR COMPRESSORS
EXPRESS YOURSELF. You know how much your employees mean to you, but do they? It might be as simple as saying, “You are doing a great job.” When your employee tells you about their goal of writing a book, find ways to support it, even if it’s just checking in now and then to see how many pages they’ve written. If your employees feel that you’re interested not only in their professional development but also their personal development, they’ll feel more satisfied in their work. You’ll improve morale and retention. If your employees feel like they can’t achieve their career goals at your company, they’ll begin to look elsewhere to reach them. In addition to highlighting how your company fosters employee development during the hiring process, make good on that advertisement by offering workshops, trainings, and opportunities for promotion. Valiulis suggests encouraging job shadowing between departments. It can help strengthen teamwork and show employees new opportunities within the company. The source of training doesn’t have to come from a faraway conference — look for internal opportunities where coworkers can learn from each other. GIVE CLEAR OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT.
EFFICIENCY MATTERS Any industrial expert will tell you that air is the fourth utility. From HVAC and refrigeration systems to pneumatic and injection mould applications, chances are your factory relies on compressed air at least as much as water, electricity, and natural gas. However, compressed air costs more per unit of energy than any other utility.
Thus, more than any other process, efficiency needs to be the primary concern when it comes to your compressed air system. Ensuring that you are getting the most “umph” for your buck is essential to keeping costs down, regardless of whether compressed air is a primary or ancillary process. And yet many companies are satisfied to get by with out-of-date, unoptimized, or hodge-podge systems. This widespread inefficiency is understandable when you take into account how involved designing and commissioning a compressed air system can be. One miss-matched component can lead to losses in pressure or substandard air quality. In many cases, it can be a good investment to purchase one complete system, designed by industry experts for peak performance. However, when your facilities or processes create unique demands for your air compressor application, customization becomes a necessity. Depending on your needs, this may be as simple as adding an accessory process or some monitoring equipment, or as complicated as building a compressed air system from the ground up. Either way, you are looking at a substantial investment of time and money, so it’s essential you get this customization done right.
