How to calculate efficiency?

-Operational efficiency is a measure of how well a company is able to utilize its resources in order to produce the desired outputs. In other words, it is a measure of how a company is able to convert inputs into outputs.

-While there are many inputs such as; material, time, fuel, spares, labor, etc. in readymix concrete companies, there is only one output. Concrete poured into forms!

– A readymix company that is operationally efficient is able to produce and delivered more concrete with fewer inputs or the same output with less input. This results in lower costs and higher profits. As a result, the company will be able to generate more revenue and profit. It also allows businesses to respond quickly to changes in demand. This means to be more competitive and sustainable.

-There are some basic key figures to control a readymix company. And these key figures need to be obtained correctly to see how effectively the company operates. What are the right key numbers that really matter to us and how can we compare the competition to those numbers?

-For readymix concrete companies, balancing the priorities of operating efficiently against delivering excellent customer service can be challenging. As companies focus on improving operational and dispatch efficiency, the customer experience can diminish. And in providing an excellent customer experience, efficiency is often sacrificed.

– What precautions can be taken and implemented for a readymix concrete company to be both efficient and ensure customer satisfaction? Let’s talk together and make your operations more competitive!

What is dispatch?

-Why is it so important? Why everyone in the company should take care of the dispatch? Dispatch is a logistics issue and a matter of logic, math and problem solving, it is the brain of the system. Dispatch in readymix companies emerged years ago with the start of competition. Nowadays, competition is at its peak. Beat the competition with dispatch training and dispatch workshop!

With good dispatch;
1. Waiting times of mixer and pump vehicles can be reduced.
2. Fuel consumption can be reduced.
3. Optimization in some cycles and in the fleet can be achieved.
4. Total operational safety can be increased
5. By regulating customer relations possible problems can be reduced
6. Plant efficiency can be increased
7. Sales profitability can be increased
8. Wrong decisions of dispatchers can be corrected.

-This course cover dispatcher’s job skills, including taking orders, dealing with priority customers, using advance notices to ease scheduling and delivery, callbacks, clean ups, add on orders, will calls, small load charges, excessive unloading times, scheduling math, plant vs. central dispatch, and managing the dispatch office and personnel, rapid problem solving skills, including value selling, expert phone listening skills and maintaining a proper attitude under stress.

-This course teaches dispatchers, schedulers and their managers how to take orders, schedule, and deliver concrete that meets all the requirements as agreed to with customers. And also teaches the other support departments personnel such as workshop, maintenance, operational formen, in order to achieve an economic, safe and satisfactory job cycle.

-On the other hand the sales personel can also benefit from this study in order to lessen the disputes and learn what they can and can not promise to customers. Concrete plant operators should also receive this training. because they are in any case in the operation and all efforts are for their efficient operation. Also the plant chiefs can learn the benchmark criterias and evaluate success or failure of the operations.

-In order to create a team culture within the related departments and bring scientific approach and a new vision to your operations, let’s talk together with your;
– Dispatchers
– Batchplant operators
– Formen
– Workshop responsibles
– Salesmen
– Plant chiefs
– And who wants to increase efficiency in the company

Should everyone need to know 0-1 miracle for digitilazition?

– Many readymix suppliers struggle to differentiate themselves in the market. Many experience that their clients start buying from another supplier from one day to the next. Even if the concrete product is of excellent quality and you deliver the concrete on time, this might not be enough to retain a customer in the long term.

– Nowadays there is one inevitable solution, digitalization!

• The adoption of internet of things (IoT) technology to increase productivity.
• The power of IoT to ensure readymix meets quality and specification requirements when it is gets to the jobsite.
• While focused on reducing waste in operations, the digital technology is the unique solution.
• A slump indicator on the mixer trucks displays slump and temperature, enabling operators or even the customer to verify the concrete meets its specification.
• Smart sensor technology monitors and helps to manage properties ranging from slump, temperature, volume, water added and location/status of the mixer truck.
• Embedded sensors for quality assurance and legality.
• The industry is focused on environmental improvement with digital technology  for example capturing CO2.
• GPR technology bring safe and efficient operation of mixer trucks.
• Digital technology also closes the communication gap with project stakeholders by sending notifications when a load is leaving the site, when it is ready for discharge, how much water was added, and other data points, etc.

– But there is a question, ‘are there some people preventing digitalization within the company? Is the older generation really afraid of losing their jobs?’

-Actually, there is nothing to be worried about that. Everyone is already going digital in some way, mostly by osmosis.

– For example, if a mixer driver gets a paperless approval for the delivery ticket at the site, should we consider he knows all about the 0-1 concepts?

-Which generations are working together in the readymixed industry? Today, more than half of the workforce in the world consists of Generation X. This group was born into the digital world.

– On the other hand, the Mors alphabet have similar codes which consists of only two things a dot and a dash. All the letters consist of inputs available or not in other words 1 or 0. People have used this Morse alphabet more than century. Unrestful generation, Baby Boomers should had received a telegram during their childhood.

– Now the main question is where should we start digitalization? Gradually or using direct technologies? In order to reduce employees’ fears and concerns, shouldn’t it be necessary to first create a cultural infrastructure?

-You will find all of above in this eBook which consists of following chapters; readymix concrete, industry 4.0 and rmc, innovation in rmc technology, smart sensors, concrete sensors, drum sensors, digital logistic, digital qc, robots in rmc, digital culture and transformation.

Green concrete is produced in green batch plant!

Green concrete refers to concrete that has been designed to minimise the negative effects it has on the environment. Currently, concrete is responsible for approximately 5% of all the world’s carbon emissions.

Everything is going green, that’s now the trend of modern life. Concrete plants also benefit from this. Green batching plants are undoubtedly favorable choice in order to save material and energy. But how can we operate a green concrete batching plant?

It is not enough to just set the rules for concrete production, the concrete machinery and equipment manufacturers (batch plant, truckmixers, concrete pumps etc…) also need to take part in this trend and transform their production and products into green..

Green concrete batching plants, first of all, must comply with environmental protection requirements. Therefore companies manufacturing concrete batch plant should take all reasonable and practical measures to prevent or minimise environmental harm and nuisance.

There is also important duty for the readymix managers, responsible persons such as foremen and dispatchers as well as drivers and operators, for thinking and acting green in every process of concrete production and delivery.

Concrete is the main stay of construction industry. Concrete underpins the economic prosperity and continued growth. While concrete can be durable and sustainable, its production, if managed poorly, can damage environment and communities.

This eBook is for operating a green concrete batching plant.
Each section of this study addresses a separate aspect of the green concrete production process, from handling cement to batching and dealing with waste also delivery.

Readymix companies using this guidebook can be confident they are doing what is required to protect the environment and also prevent environmental incidents.
