IrvinGQ day in the factory , to somebody being alive another day . This makes a real difference to our people , to the extent that they identify that as a reason to work for us .”
Referring to the team on the shop floor directs Carl to speak about a major refurbishment to the business ’ HQ that ’ s been underway for the past three years . “ As a site , we ’ ve been here for a long time . On the outside , it may not look very different , but on the inside , it ’ s always developing and moving along with technology . Most recently , we have merged two sites into one , and that has seen good results in terms of consolidation , both culturally and systematically . It has increased our footprint on the naval decoys side .
“ Overall , we are always expanding our capabilities . Automation has been a focus , as well as new machinery in our metals area , where we continuously invest significant sums year on year . We now have lights out
capabilities , so we can run 24 / 7 . The new machines give us much more flexibility in terms of product development , because we can develop more quickly , using better software .”
In fact , the right software is pivotal to the overall smooth running of IrvinGQ ®, and it has worked with K3 ’ s SYSPRO for the past five years . “ When it comes to managing our business , we have found SYSPRO to be very agile and stable . We rely on SYSPRO in all areas , to give us the high level of control we need to ensure that we ’ re providing the right quality at the right cost . Plus , we ’ re able to deliver on time because we ’ re ordering materials when we need them . It allows us to create very bespoke reporting , giving us the ability to analyze and review our business . There are numerous ways in which we use SYSPRO , It ’ s really been a good , strong system .”
