UK manufacturers consider investing in technology to improve productivity

A recent report from manufacturers’ organisation EEF called "Invest for Growth" reveals the fact that UK-based manufacturers are seriously considering investing in new technologies for improving their productivity, although fewer actually manage to carry out their plans.

The companies’ plans for improving their own productivity are, in fact, extremely ambitious. For example, 90 percent of the businesses consider making various investments for productivity boosting, three quarters consider investing in new technologies, and seven in ten companies actually consider extending their manufacturing capabilities.

One of the reasons why the businesses are strongly considering such serious measures is that they feel they’re falling behind their overseas competition, who’ve managed to pick up their pace a lot faster, despite the challenges posed by the economic downturn.

Workforce management is one of the simplest and fastest solutions for improving the level of productivity across an organization, and the various solutions developed by Time and Attendance UK could certainly play a major role in attaining your company’s targeted results.

For example, smart card technology allows your employees to quickly clock in and out, with the time and attendance software accurately recording attendances.  Furthermore, our all-in-one, Smart Card Time & Attendance recording workstation incorporates such features as job booking, job costing, labour hours analysis and security management.
