Taking another look at the cap manufacturing and also needlework procedures of Texas-based American Made Cap Co
. In the March 2013 problem of Impressions (" Made in the USA: A Case Study, Part 1 of 2"), I wrote about a set of good friends, Greg Bednarik and Rickey Eavenson, that determined to sustain their local west Texas economic situation by purchasing American Made Cap Co., a struggling cap maker that had undergone several adjustments in possession throughout the past three years, with a number of workers persevering through the firm's rough times.
With the brand-new CUSTOM VELCRO PATCHES company owner came new wish for the firm, which I had actually associated with during the "gimmee-cap" boom of the 1970s. Throughout my initial go to previously this year, I identified a number of locations for enhancement, however the largest obstacle continued to be locating enough customers happy to pay a little more for a premium, American-made cap. Recognizing a complementary product the company can produce or decorate to create additional income was an additional difficulty.
Bednarik disclosed that some vital personnel changes literally have actually changed the skin of their service. At the time of my previous check out to American Made Cap Co., new Production Manager David Stutts had actually just begun working with the business. Stutts was experienced with production in a different sector, and was familiarizing himself with the procedure of production as well as decorating headwear.
I might tell from his concerns that Stutts is a really quick study and also, as of press time, has gained a firm understanding of all stages of production. One of the explorations he made is that throughout a previous proprietor's period, the needlework equipment string trimmers had actually been shut off to improve stitch result. This profited equipment drivers, that got on an incentive program. Unfamiliar with the embroidery process and equipment abilities, this concern was just exposed after the business paid hundreds of hrs of overtime to staff members doing trimming duties.
Furthermore, a number of other new workers are truly making an impact. One has graphic arts abilities as well as screen printing experience, and also is being trained to give back up to digitizer Wanda Eavenson. Another brand-new staff member is making payments in the area of information technology and additionally is being cross-trained for various other tasks. Both new team members additionally act on brand-new company leads.
Development at the top of the personnel chain additionally assisted to make changes that boosted the staffing in other means. One of the lessons discovered by the possession is that specific employees are not necessarily crucial. It's an usual worry amongst company owner as well as management that everything will quit if one or more essential employees leave the business. In my experience, nonetheless, this is rarely the case. American Made Cap Co. found that despite shedding a number of employee-- consisting of a manager-- that manufacturing was sustained without avoiding a beat.
BRAND-NEW PROCEDURES, BUSINESS
By just observing as well as making changes to business methods, Eavenson and also Bednarik have actually minimized their day-to-day operation prices by $500-$ 600 daily. This has dramatically enhanced capital and can be attributed to numerous key adjustments.
A big change is streamlined documents, which was achieved by taking a close check out paper flow within the firm and making changes that helped boost efficiency. Administration likewise placed focus on bank card payments for clients, which lowered the management expenses associated with invoicing as well as collection.
In the brand-new business sector, four interesting as well as substantial cap production opportunities have been introduced to American Made Cap Co. from business in Colorado, New York, California as well as Texas. At press time, some new accounts were still in the process of being expanded, yet the new organization is supplying the capital required to develop a healthy and balanced company account. Among the new accounts sends its own patterns and also products to American Made Cap Co., which gives cut-and-sew plus needlework services. Keeping the embroidery makers humming contributes to paying the overall overhead prices for the plant.
Another payment to the company's success is its organization with the Go Texan program, where it has actually enjoyed major benefits. Via association with this program, funded by the Texas Department of Agriculture, a business's name is linked not only with American-made products, but additionally Texas-made products. It was a special day in July when Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples visited the business. He identified American Made Cap Co. for its use of material made from American Cotton Growers (based in close-by Littlefield, Texas) in the firm's caps, aprons as well as carryall.
The largest and most appealing growth the business has actually experienced during the past couple of months is the addition of a corresponding product line. The product-- lightweight, flame-resistant apparel-- is made use of thoroughly by business with workers in oil as well as gas areas. These firms likewise use great deals of headwear, making sales calls twice as efficient.
" It's a perk that the United State federal government calls for workers in certain sectors, including seismic employees, to put on flame-resistant clothing," Bednarik claims.
As part of the clothing program, the company includes approximately 10,000 stitches of embroidery in its pricing. The firm also makes headwear from the unique material. Stutts found that the team can embroider it making use of regular production methods, providing more orders to keep the embroidery machines running consistently. The company also started a new website, americanfrc.com, that includes the product.
WHAT'S NEXT
Renewed by the significant development the company has actually made in current months, Bednarik as well as Eavenson expect carrying out prepare for additional growth. Initially, they want to boost its online visibility and also perhaps launch a line of themed caps. American Made Cap Co. still joins a give program that can aid offer funds to raise its Internet presence as well as advertising and marketing generally. They also would like to produce a program with a major account to generate caps for stock during slow-moving times.
Bednarik intends to fill up the plant's manufacturing capability and also begin a new, enhanced incentive program for staff members. "I would certainly rather pass more money to the workers if I can jam this location with quantity," he claims.
