Impact Continues to Reduce Your Labor Cost
For years Impact has provided freight handling with a model
based on production incentive, meaning you pay only for work performed, not
hours worked. We are proud unload freight for many companies across the nation
but have recently expanded our services through Impact Engineered Labor
Solutions (IELS). We now take our model and apply it to any type of labor need you
have in your facility. " Engineering a lower labor cost with higher quality control is what we do for our
customers every day", says IELS President Jon Gardner.
IELS provides its customers with its most dependable workers
for a fixed cost. This allows customers to experience cost savings of up to 25%
of your annual labor cost while exceeding the expectations placed on quality,
safety and production. We have launched a new Web site with details outlining
this new service here.
Using a cost per unit (CPU) business model, we take any work
area in your facility and engineer a fixed cost for the labor and work
performed, resulting in a fixed cost for our customers. Imagine eliminating the
need to monitor overtime or the frustration of unmotivated workers who are paid
regardless of their productivity. These problems and more drain your management
team of valuable time. They also waste time that could be better utilized once
a company implements our CPU Labor Model. Our model allows you, the customer,
to fix your cost, maximize your management's time, and save you 5% - 25% of
your annual labor cost.
IELS partners with both the manufacturing and distribution
industries. We can provide your company with labor in the following areas of
service:
Manufacturing
Sub-Assembly
Operations Semi-Automated Machine
Operation Assembly Line
Operations Repair/Re-work Operations Repetitive Manual Work
Cells Repair Operations
Distribution

Impact Hosts Security Council
Guest speaker - Chief of Police, Gary Rikard  |
Many of us know Memphis as the "shipping hub" of North
America. In 2009 alone, more than 2 million trucks
passed over the bridge spanning the Mississippi River to I-40 and I-55. Each of
these trucks imports and exports valuable
products to many of the largest companies we
know today. No wonder Memphis is called the
"shipping hub". Those trucks also represent more than just product. Simply put,
they represent jobs. Memphis is what it is today largely due to the great
industry of logistics.
With that said,
there are also problems that come with this kind of shipping volume, problems
that mainly involve ocean container and trailer theft. To resolve these issues
many cities, such as Dade County Florida, have
put together a task force to combat theft. Though Dade County was one of the leaders in this effort,
Memphis has also put together its own Cargo Theft Task Force. Memphis' Task
Force is made up of several law enforcement agencies, such as the Sheriff's
Department, FBI, and several police forces in the tri-state area. In addition to the Cargo Task Force is an organization
made of security personnel from the private industry called the Security
Council. The Security Council supports the Cargo Task Force with funds and
information that helps in the apprehension of cargo thieves.
Impact had the honor of hosting the Mid-South
Security Council Luncheon on March 23rd. Over
40 members of law enforcement and private industry personnel attended. There were positive updates from the Task Force
about their activities during the previous month, and we also heard from the
Chief of Bartlett Police, a suburb of Memphis. He spoke on the issues his
department faces in their jurisdiction, but the primary focus was to encourage
all agencies and security members to communicate with each other on all
container and trailer thefts. It was a true Honor to hold the March council
meeting on the Impact Campus. For questions on how to form a security council
in your city feel free to contact Impact's Security and Safety Director, Denny Fillinger.
