Increase Your Profits
Realizing that in the competitive world of business, time is money, Tony Bass of Bonaire, Georgia was determined to discover a more efficient way to run his already-successful landscaping company. An engineer by trade, Tony spent six crucial months in 1992 dissecting and studying his operational processes.
Cutting Costs
With the goal of raising his profit margin by at least 10%, Tony knew he needed to figure out a way to either cut labor costs or increase productivity. He calculated that if a landscape company like his could somehow save just six minutes of wasted time every hour, his profit margin would increase dramatically.
Take a look at the chart below. This information alone will be worth thousands of dollars to you this year. This illustrates exactly what 6 minutes of wasted time costs your company with different numbers of employees and a variety of average wages. For this example I have assumed 225 workdays in one calendar year. I have assumed that overhead is equal to the hourly rate. This chart assumes that only 6 minutes of time is wasted per day per employee.

Increasing Productivity
- Is it possible that in your company 6 minutes is wasted every hour?
- Is it possible that your staff somehow looses a mere 6 minutes of productivity out of every hour of the day?
- Think carefully about this question before you answer!
"Wasted" time was cited as daily inefficiency by crew members involved in tasks like:
- Loading and preparing the truck before work each morning.
- Traveling to the gas station to fuel the truck & the mowers and to fill gas cans.
- Locating the exact tools or supplies in the truck needed to do the job.
- Handling truck repairs and servicing equipment.
- Hooking up or unhooking trailers to transport equipment.
- Locating adequate parking spaces for truck and trailer combinations.
Tony realized those lost minutes added up to many un-billable hours that were costing his business thousands of dollars in profit every year!
