One of the biggest problems with business today is that they are inefficient. The ability to
be efficient is out there, but it requires a lot of thought, and careful monitoring of employees and management. Many car
manufacturers are focused on being efficient by making less waste, and by using "Green" forms of energy. In the words of one
Toyota executive, "Efficiency starts with the owners, then managers, then workers. If all parts of the ladder are not completely
focused on being efficient, it won't be!"
Many cleaning companies try to save money by "cutting corners" with the offices they clean.
Some try using non-sanitizing chemicals because they are cheaper. Or some encourage their employees to just rush through the
building, in order to not pay them for as many hours. These tactics deprive you the complete service that you are paying
them for.
We have found that a much better way to save money is by teaching our employees how to
work more efficiently, not "cutting corners". We use sanitizing sprays on all desks, light switches, door knobs, and
telephones. We have had several reports of employee sick days going down, one instance by over 200%, just because we
sanitize everything thoroughly!
Another aspect of company efficiency that we encourage is alternative energy. Windmill
and solar panel technology is something that we think every industrial company should consider, and we are actively pursuing
it for our company. In the next 10 years, our goal is to be completely "self sufficient", not requiring fuel or energy
from outside sources. Plus, since Kansas is known for being one of the windiest states, it is just silly to not harness that FREE
energy!
