How Glenside Can Help You Create an Optimal Environment for Your Manufacturing Business
Your workplace should cater to your company's unique requirements. When designing any space, factors such as layout and aesthetics are key for boosting employee productivity and production. However, the manufacturing sector stands out as an industry where these elements play an even more critical role in creating an effective work environment.
At Glenside, we have a wealth of experience and expertise necessary to design the right workspace for your manufacturing company. Here are 5 ways we can help you create an optimal environment for your manufacturing business:
1. Creating an Efficient Layout
The layout of a manufacturing workspace is crucial for efficient production. Glenside will work with you to design a layout that allows your employees to move freely and efficiently around the workspace. This includes placing equipment and machinery in a strategic location that maximises space and minimises the risk of accidents. A functional layout is critical to ensure the smooth flow of operations, increase productivity, and ultimately, improve your bottom line.
At
Glenside, we have extensive experience in creating
efficient layouts for manufacturing companies. We can help you arrange your equipment and workstations in a logical sequence and create designated areas for specific tasks.
2. Choosing Appropriate Materials and Finishes
The selection of materials and finishes in a manufacturing workspace can have a significant impact on safety and employee morale. It's crucial to consider the durability and longevity of the chosen materials, as well as their aesthetic appeal once installed. Fragile materials like glass, smooth metals, and glossy woods are typically unsuitable for manufacturing settings, as they are prone to marking and can quickly appear worn out.
We understand the importance of selecting appropriate materials that are durable, easy to clean, and resistant to chemicals and other hazards. We can help you choose finishes that promote a positive work environment, such as lighting, colour schemes, and acoustic treatments.
3. Incorporating Ergonomic Design Principles
It’s important to consider the different ways your design caters to the needs of your staff. Ergonomic design principles are essential to creating a safe and comfortable workplace for employees. At
Glenside, we can help you incorporate ergonomic design principles into your manufacturing workspace, including features such as adjustable workstations, proper lighting and ventilation, and comfortable seating. These features can help to reduce employee fatigue and discomfort, which can improve productivity and morale.
4. Office Aesthetics Matter
Gone are the days of uninspiring and bland manufacturing industry office spaces. With innovation being a fundamental aspect of the industry, it is imperative to prioritise an office environment that fosters creativity and encourages fresh ideas.
Incorporating colour into your workplace is one effective method of inspiring your employees. You may consider segmenting various parts of your office with colour-blocking techniques, effectively dividing the space and creating distinct areas. Painting an entire room yellow could be overwhelming, but adding an accent colour will imbue the room with brightness.
Green is also a great colour to incorporate into your office space. Not only does it have a calming effect, but it's also on trend with the biophilic design movement. Biophilic design focuses on connecting people with the natural world, using elements like plants and daylight to create a healthier, more inviting workspace.
A
recent study found that workers who had more exposure to nature were 15% more productive than those who didn't. By adding biophilic features to your office, you'll not only create a more positive environment for your team, but you'll also boost your business's bottom line.
5. Consider Workplace Wellbeing
When it comes to designing your space, don't forget to take into account the varying needs of your team. While open-plan layouts encourage collaboration, it's important to recognize that sometimes your staff may need privacy and focus to get their work done - especially in the fast-paced and often demanding manufacturing industry.
