Quotation:
“Prior to engaging Zampa, the Health and Safety executive leadership and management teams of this manufacturing organisation were struggling to manage, monitor and track the ongoing compliance status and safety performance of employees, external contractors and suppliers operating across the company’s manufacturing and production facilities”.
Manufacturing Company's Business Challenges
The manufacturing company owns and manages a portfolio of production facilities across Australasia. The ongoing maintenance of these facilities is supported by internal personnel and a broad mix of external contractors and suppliers responsible for scheduled, emergency or project specific maintenance.
The manufacturing company faced several contractor and supplier management challenges including:
- Enforcing the organisations’ contractor and supplier compliance and risk-management standard operating practices (SOPs) across a portfolio of manufacturing and production facilities.
- Restricted contractor and supplier governance, visibility, and reporting integrity due to siloed internal systems, processes, and individual facility practices.
- Reliance upon paper-based documentation and processes, uncontrolled MS Office excel-based spreadsheets and word templates.
- Inability to effectively track, evaluate and benchmark employee, contractor and supplier safety or maintenance performance.
- Potential exposure to breaches of WHS, Duty of Care and regulatory obligations stemming from contractors or suppliers subcontracting work to unqualified and non-authorised personnel.
