Corona in loop Light environment

While the Covid-19 coronavirus has spread around the world, companies have faced many challenges. Some companies have temporarily stopped their operations; While others have faced an increasing demand for health and non-discretionary products. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the virus will be the guest of the world for at least another two or three years! So companies are looking for ways to manage and prevent the spread of the corona virus in the workplace. One of the first solutions to deal with the spread of this virus was to work from home, remotely. But it is clear that not everything can be done at home. For example, the production of strip lights takes place only on the production line with the presence of technicians and engineers.

Therefore, researchers are looking for new ways to control this disease while continuing activities. In the following, we will introduce and explain several solutions.

• Protecting the workforce: The human resource of any company is one of the most important assets of that company. Therefore, special measures should be taken to protect the human resources of the organization during the corona pandemic. Loop Light Business Group pays special attention to its employees, from engineers and managers to technicians. For this reason, special measures have been devised to protect them.
• Provide safety and hygiene items for employees: These items include masks, guns, disinfectant gels and alcohol pads. Also, in all production centers, distribution centers and retail stores, these items have been provided so our dear customers, who are our highest capital, can be protected from this disease.
• Employees ‘mental health: In addition to employees’ physical health, their mental health is very important for the organization. Stress, fear, anxiety and mental imbalance have a direct effect on reducing productivity. Therefore, measures such as paid leave, counseling and telecommuting are provided for employees with psychological concerns.
• Flexible shift design: Loop Light industrial-commercial group, as the first and largest producer of LED wireless strips in the middle east, cannot reduce the number of its employees due to the high demand and high production volume. Therefore, to reduce the risk of spreading the disease in staff gatherings, flexible shifts were designed and implemented. The advantage of flexible shifts is the reduction of human throng while maintaining the volume of production and responding to all the received demand.
• Designing short-term goals: One of the upstream goals of Loop Light Group is to continuously improve the business environment. Constant pursuit of this goal leads to a high level of service, reducing costs and quick respond to customer needs.
• With the spread of the corona virus, new goals have been proposed by management, including; Business continuity plans (BCP). BCP means tackling any phenomenon that may lead to a reduction in production and sales during corona outbreak.
• Continuous monitor of Key Performance Indicators (KPI): In order to prevent the virus from affecting the performance of the organization, the key performance indicators of the organization are checked and controlled on a daily basis. Among the most important of these indicators are: production volume, sales volume, demand, production waste volume and maintenance costs.

The corona virus has long-term effects on human life around the world, and manufacturing organizations are no exception. On the other hand, this disease can be captured as an opportunity. An opportunity that raises safety and health standards in all aspects of life, such as manufacturing.
