<\/p>\n

When former Intel CEO Andy Grove realized Intel could no longer compete in the memory chip market, he took a big \"changerisk. He shifted the company\u2019s focus to microprocessors. Grove would ultimately build Intel in a $26 billion company.<\/p>\n

Grove is often quoted saying this: \u201cBusiness success contains the seeds of its own destruction. Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.\u201d<\/p>\n

When people form habits or become complacent with certain behaviors, they\u2019re unlikely to change – for better or worse. And when businesses don\u2019t take risks, they close the door to potential success and survival.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to keep an open mind to adopting new ways to improve your current situation. Maybe that\u2019s expanding your product line or automating a manufacturing process.<\/p>\n

Change is hard, and it can be unpopular with management and employees. But sometimes it\u2019s a good thing and will help your company increase its revenue stream. And eventually, people will come to accept it.<\/p>\n

One way you can make a positive (and relatively easy) difference in your company is to change the way you stretch wrap. For example, if you\u2019re hand wrapping, changing to a semi-automatic stretch wrapper can improve productivity, reduce product damage and save money.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By swapping from hand wrapping or changing out an old machine for a new one you can wrap better loads and immediately stop wasting film and labor. Stretch wrappers with increased automation, like a cut and clamp unit<\/a> can help the average company wrapping 50 loads per day recover about $50,000 in wasted labor over five years and help create safe-to-ship loads.<\/p>\n

You can also rethink the way you weigh loads for shipment. Some modern stretch wrappers combine activities like weighing and wrapping. The built-in scale<\/a> can save the average company wrapping 50 loads per day up to $15,000 in labor over five years.<\/p>\n

Andy Grove was right – only the paranoid survive. Don\u2019t settle with what you think works just OK. Question what you\u2019re doing, and continue to make it better.<\/p>\n
