Capacity problems among mechanics? These 6 tips prevent that.

Hands, hands and more hands, that's what a service company needs. However, that is easier said than done. One of the biggest problems that service companies face is capacity.

Annoying when you're striving to grow as a company. This is because capacity problems can hamper growth.

From Guidion, we understand that better than anyone. That is why we have chosen to offer this as a service for companies. So that they can focus on the core business again. And do what they are good at.

Nevertheless, we are happy to share our expertise with companies so that they can get the capacity problems under control themselves.

That's why these 6 tips!

1. Retention is more important than recruitment. So make sure you know what's going on in the field. By solving problems and being ahead, you prevent your employees from saying goodbye.
2. At the same time, positive engineers are also the best ambassadors for your company. In addition, they often also know other technicians. Our second tip is therefore to give a good reward when recruiting new technicians. Win-win.
3. Recruit at the right time. Make sure your vacancies are always up to date. And recruit even if you don't necessarily need someone. Because if you only start recruiting when the need arises, you can be sure that you are too late.
4. Also see if you can do people retrain as a mechanic. For example, people who are on the help desk. They can therefore take this knowledge and experience back into the field.
5. Efficient planning and task assignment: Ensure efficient planning of tasks and optimal assignment of technicians to specific tasks based on their skills and availability. Use planning tools and software to streamline the process and maximize technician availability.
6. Teamwork makes the dream work: Encourage collaboration and teamwork between technicians so that they can share knowledge with each other. By creating a culture of collaboration, engineers can help each other solve problems and perform their tasks even more efficiently.

Surely it is not possible to recruit suitable technicians?
