Manufacturing

Finding Efficiencies

How can you be lean and comprehensive at the same time?

In manufacturing, EHS and sustainability programs are finally fighting their way out of the box that for too long had safety, compliance and environmental concerns at odds with manufacturing process improvements. Today, evidence tells a different story — EHS excellence is a barometer of productivity and fundamental to a company’s bottom line.

Even so, as the person overseeing EHS activities, you probably feel the pressure to do more with less, literally. In the name of progress and in an attempt to gain competitive advantages, EHS departments in manufacturing are facing shrinking budgets, staff reductions and direction from above to not just make do, but to do everything better.

Without the right software systems in place, you may also feel pressure to choose between critical EHS tasks, such as tracking incidents and corrective actions or fulfilling routine audits and inspections. Or between a system that can track chemicals and one that can help you manage water and energy inputs. In an industry that is investing in every other kind of technology that can streamline operations and deliver consistent, quality outputs, isn’t it time that EHS got the same consideration?

VelocityEHS

The VelocityEHS Platform is the simple choice for reaching your EHS goals in manufacturing, because we build our product the same way you build yours — smart, efficiently, with the customer in mind. That’s one of the reasons the implementation time for our EHS software solution is so fast. We can be up and running in all of your facilities in the time it takes some companies to demo their solution and provide a price quote.

You want lean, you want fast and you’re unwilling to compromise on quality. We agree, and we can help you reach your business and EHS goals faster by accelerating utilization throughout your organization. Too many EHS providers focus on bells and whistles, and don’t spend enough time actually listening to their customers and understanding their needs. We work differently. We first work to understand your needs, and then work to deliver a solution that engages your people. That drives participation and gives you meaningful data that improves your visibility up and down the organization.

The key is simplicity. We believe in lean software design — everything has a purpose and functionality is intuitive. That way you and your employees don’t have to spend your time remembering how your EHS system works. You can spend it instead on valuable tasks like tracking corrective actions, studying performance metrics on energy and water use and waste streams, and ensuring industry best practices are instituted throughout the organization. In short, you can spend your time leading.
