Overcome the Skilled Labor Shortage

Grow your revenue without having to grow your headcount.

While US manufacturers have long been aware of the mounting skilled labor shortage, the past two years have accelerated the trend immensely. Over this period, more than 1.5 million people retired earlier than expected, taking with them expertise, experience and leadership.

Many companies have focused on recruiting, apprenticeships and other initiatives to bring new blood to the industry. These vital activities will help ensure the long-term health of our sector, but there are also actions manufacturers can take to support immediate growth.

Over the past twenty years, technology has reached an unprecedented rate of advancement. For some applications, the best possible means of production a decade ago can look quaint by today’s possibilities. INDEX has extensive experience helping manufacturers identify which areas of their operations would benefit the most significantly from new technology. We can do this using multiple measurements as the metric to optimize, including output per labor hour.

In short, we have a long history of helping manufacturers increase their output in the face of constraints. We frequently see customers significantly grow revenues per labor hour, sometimes in excess of 100%.

Between our portfolio of world-class turning machines and expertise in all areas of production technology, we can position you to take advantage of potential growth, even when you’re struggling to find new operators to join your operations.
