Productivity increase

Factory staff
Same
Weekly output

Same weekly output, fewer hands: the floor shrank from 25 to 18 staff and productivity climbed 38% — plus a meaningful annual wage saving.

Output flat, headcount down

Composite Group kept weekly production at exactly the level it had always been at — and did it with seven fewer people on the floor.

Where the gain came from

Empower made it obvious where minutes were getting absorbed by non-value-added work. The team cut that out without compromising what customers actually received.

Cost-competitive in a tight market

Lower labour cost per product, healthier margins, and a smaller wage bill freed Composite Group to compete harder on price without sacrificing profitability.
