Counting the Cash

摘要

Modern weighbridge systems form a critical part of the quarry cash-flow process. Campbell Deaz,AveryWeigh-Tronix's general manager for weighbridge systems technology, explains why they should be a vital component of a management information system that runs to the core of a quarry operation. In a competitive business companies must be efficient to survive.The principles of 'lean operating' and supply chain efficiency are now being applied to the quarry industry. This is particularly the case for suppliers of commodity products. At the heart of any drive to improve efficiency are data. If performance cannot be measured how is it possible to know if improvements are being made? The weighbridge system captures such data. How this information is managed and used can make a real difference to both bottom-line costs and revenue.
