What is the key common denominator of your operations? Reflect on today’s testimonial episode of Hoff's contributions made at our US Army's Detroit Arsenal TACOM/TARDEC base, and evaluate what is relevant from this story which you can ultimately apply at your organization as well.
Welcome back to Hoff Innovations, a podcast show geared to empower and benefit your operations to succeed in areas, never before thought possible. My name is Justin Hoff with a combined 30 years contributing to assisting the Aluminum Extrusion, Forging, Steel Scrap Recycling, Heat Treating, Printing Press Industries, and Simulation Labs by improving the efficiency, productivity, and longevity of their hydraulic power units.
With our work conducted at TACOM, we quickly discovered that reducing the logistical footprint in theatre was, and still is today, one of the main priorities of our military. What takes precedence even over this, was something the military terms as having optimum Battle Readiness, which crosses over into the logistical footprint matter as well.
Much of Battle Readiness surrounds the idea that a moving target is harder to hit than a sitting one. Our military’s dedication in striving to keep our troops out of harm’s way, and having the ability to effectively sneak up on the enemy as well, is always at the forefront of their minds. No General would ever desire for his soldiers and military assets to be placed in such a precarious and potentially high threat position of becoming sitting targets, if they didn’t have to. Much like downed equipment will heavily hurt operations in industry for months on end;
…When the MILITARY experiences downed equipment in battle, this becomes a much more serious matter, not just downed assets being in the possible hands of the enemy, but that this failure of equipment will likely result in loss of lives. Interestingly enough, if the proprietary technology was also applied to their mobile equipment in theatre (whether war time or in peace), this would solve for each of their battle readiness concerns as well as entirely reduce their logistical footprint more than ever before thought possible.

If your operations, champions lean and best practices, sustainability, innovation, and more, yet inadvertently ignores the quality and cleanliness of the lifeblood of your equipment settling for the status quo, then I invite you to consider discovering what has truly been either totally omitted from, or simply a miscalculation in the equation and metrics of your business operations.
