Reveal and Maximize

The US and global economies appear to be accelerating at breakneck speed. Many companies are suddenly faced with high demand for products and services, but it’s not yet clear if this represents a spike or sustainable volume. As executives consider whether to add capacity – through new facilities, machinery, employees, and more – they should also consider the hidden potential of existing resources.

I call this concept “The Hidden Factory,” though the same notion holds true for services firms. Rather than invest capital to meet uncertain demand, I encourage organizations to first reveal trapped capacity. Through close collaboration, Kormac helps organizations deliver more output from the same assets. In the weeks to come, we’ll discuss how to reveal and release the capacity hidden in your organization.
