ENGAGE YOUR TEAM
Ensure the right people and internal resource is allocated from the start to maximise the success of your onboarding process.
HAVE OPEN COMMUNICATION
Operators are pivotal to the rollout's success. Make sure they are fully aware of the platform, how it will help them, and what the goals are.
SHARE THE DATA INSIGHT
Share the data at your daily/weekly production meetings to ensure stakeholders benefit from the insight to drive continuous improvement.

COMMUNICATION KEY TO CULTURAL ADOPTION

FourJaw’s customer success team supported me to communicate this effectively and once the team understood how the data was being used, it facilitated conversations which were used to inform and educate operators, which lead to a greater sharing of best practices, changed behaviours and enhanced machine utilisation and productivity”.
