Manufacturers must include strategy-specific messages to help employees connect their day-to-day efforts with the aspirations of the company. It helps when manufacturing firms use strong visuals, such as pictures of people in action."

Louise Dickmeyer, President of PDP Solutions believes plant floor manufacturing production employees face unique communication challenges. According to Dickmeyer, “I still argue for tools to create structure for how a business communicates. A structure that gives a feedback loop so the ‘truly communication-minded employer’ doesn’t have to guess if Employee A, B or C looked at that bulletin board as they walked by, or that they were for sure listening to my quarterly meeting presentation.”

PDP Solutions was featured in the current issue of AutomationMedia.com. The article authored by manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler was titled, “Automation Success Only Possible through Employee Engagement and Communication.” Cutler discussed how employee engagement in manufacturing requires a systematic and tested method of reaching employees with important messages. According to Cutler, “Balancing the sheer volume of communication is congruent with lean manufacturing policies and principles. Employees on the plant floor can ill afford to be deluged with emails. Aggregating mass email messages and reducing email overload is a best practice.”

Lean best practice manufacturing plants utilize an internal employee communications solution. Time and collaborative concepts discovered with on-going kaizen events are often lost when manufacturers rely upon traditional hierarchical communication structures.
PDP Solutions President, Louise Dickmeyer suggested, “Effective employee communications solutions do not replace existing hierarchical reporting structures which define lines of responsibility and accountability. Employee communication can be added in stages, which must include making time to meet face-to-face. Video conferencing, emails, instant chats, and all the high-tech means of communication available to lean manufacturing teams are wonderful tools when there is also person-to-person contact to support these newer technologies. The most valuable information comes from the frontlines, the shopfloor of manufacturing organizations. Lean manufacturers practice active-listening.”

Automation is often touted as the primary driver of productivity improvement. PDP Solutions suggests that employee engagement is a better benchmark for productivity. Louise Dickmeyer, PDP Solutions’ President, suggested, “Engaged employees produce quality products causing a direct impact on manufacturers’ bottom line. Increased employee engagement can be evaluated by the attention paid to customers, product quality, colleagues and employer's interests. Engaged employees are healthier, take fewer sick days, arrive for work on time more often, and spend less time looking at the clock, and focus more on work excellence.”
In the manufacturing environment, plant floor workers who enjoy work are more likely to recommend the place of employment to friends, get more work done on any given day, and are more likely to remain long-term loyal employees. Manufacturing workers with a positive attitude are less likely to gossip.
