Manufacturing Engineers Mindset May Derail Effective Communication for Growth Strategies

Mankato, MN, December 06, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Manufacturing organizations are producing products that often require an extraordinary amount of engineering knowledge, experience, and problem-solving. Louise Dickmeyer, President of PDP Solutions shared in the company blog, that the single focus for any manufacturer is to make a great product as efficiently as possible, and it is often a challenge to tell the “story of the day.” Active content is critical to the success of all manufacturing companies.

Dickmeyer commented, “Employees show up to work every day; customers are shipped product every day, SOPs (standard operating procedures) are developed, lean initiatives undertaken. New customers, new employees, new products are all news.”

It represents a huge challenge (in an engineering manufacturing mindset in design and development of products) to think about telling the news of the company. Every day a manufacturing plant floor manager acknowledges there is a miscommunication, or at the very least under-communication. Those moments are the beginning of an urgent condition, which left untreated, will spell the demise of a manufacturing organization. Gossip, fear, misunderstandings, rumors are exactly the type of communication that can plague a manufacturing enterprise.

Rumors are like computer viruses, they spread like wildfire, and can spell the death of an otherwise great manufacturing company.
