Enhance productivity in your craft businesses for the new year - Expert offers 5 strategies for streamlining operations
🚀 dYsed: Crafting a More Efficient Business Structure in '23 🌟
New Year, new opportunities! The start of the year provides craft businesses a chance to revamp their operations and optimize for maximum efficiency. Whether it's the rising costs, skilled labor shortages, or growing customer demands, those who strategically streamline their processes can save time, money, and boost their competitiveness.
Here's your guide to bringing efficiency into your craft business:
🚀 Maximize Efficiency with Digital Processes 🚀
Digital tools can revolutionize workflows in craft businesses by automating simple tasks and creating space for more complex activities. "In many craft businesses, inventory management is still handled manually - often without clear responsibilities," notes industry expert Maximilian Winkler. Digital ERP systems, like SAP Business One, handle these tasks more efficiently. Time recording can be precisely done using tools like Clockodo or Timemaster. For structured planning and execution of projects, apps like Asana or Monday.com prove beneficial.
🚀 Foster Clearer Communication Structures 🚀
Miscommunication often leads to errors in craft businesses. "Many craft businesses have outdated communication structures, making efficient and goal-oriented exchange difficult," affirms Maximilian Winkler. By organizing weekly meetings, adopting modern communication platforms, and using real-time project update tools, employers foster open exchange among employees, decrease chances of misunderstandings, and boost the productivity and efficiency of the business.
🚀 Optimize Planning 🚀
Efficiency can only be achieved through thoughtful planning - even for craft businesses. Modern software solutions, such as Zoho or QuickBooks, support resource management, both for material planning and employee deployment. "Every plan should include a sufficient buffer to cushion potential delays," advises Maximilian Winkler.
🚀 Bolster Employee Involvement 🚀
In all optimization measures, employees should be involved, he emphasizes: "Employers often try to shoulder the burden of business transformation on their own. However, it's the employees who have the best ideas for improvement - after all, it's about their daily work environment." By encouraging feedback and organizing team workshops, employers create ample opportunities for their employees to suggest constructive solutions.
🚀 Enhance Training and Education Offerings 🚀
The craft industry is ever-evolving. To stay competitive, it's essential that employees remain conversant with the latest technologies and techniques. "It's not only about handling machines and tools," adds Maximilian Winkler. These soft skills ensure customer focus and satisfaction. For training purposes, businesses can utilize state-funded opportunities, such as craft apprenticeships, workshops, and courses.
