John Hayes Automation Referee Advocates Collaborative Team for Successful Manufacturing Projects

Dec. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- An independent third party referee, John Hayes founder and CEO of No Risk Automation, can help manufacturers in the automation process by eliminating the feeling of being pushed. Hayes explained, “It allows for the group to become a team and work together more collaboratively. In many cases the department that generated the process has little concept of the steps to take to get from concept to implementing the automation project. The ability to remove pressure from department budgets by having company senior management involved is very important. In many cases, changes are insignificant when lined up against company long-term goals.”

Hayes described the importance for each department to understand the bigger picture and other’s point of view. The key is first and foremost understanding the actual impact on all departments and cost centers that the automation will touch.

Hayes suggested, “Until automation selection is based on knowledge and information, vendors will make suggestions about solutions that may or may not be in the warehouse, distribution, or manufacturers’ best interest.  This newsletter is to keep an open conversation about trends, best-practices, and technology pros and cons for those that are in the active planning and automation purchasing stage.  This publication will ensure that the appropriate questions are being asked and answered.”
