Optimization process Metaal Groep Mook
The primary goal of the optimization process initiated some time ago in collaboration with ConstruSteel’s consultants was to make optimal use of ConstruSteel’s software solutions. Metaal Groep Mook, a steel construction company based in Mook, the Netherlands, has been using ConstruSteel for many years, integrating its steel construction software solutions throughout the organization of 32 employees.
Metaal Groep Mook focuses mainly on producing metal parts for the industry and handling renovation projects. Specialized tasks, like the recent renovation of the lion enclosure at Artis Zoo, are also entrusted to Metaal Groep Mook. Therefore, optimizing business processes is crucial for efficient and future-proof operations.
An optimal and uniform approach
Some time ago, Metaal Groep Mook, formerly known as Staalbouw Mook, chose to integrate Scan Sys with ConstruSteel in order to automate invoice processing. This prompted the organization to reassess its use of ConstruSteel’s software solutions. Despite acquiring the steel construction software package years ago, only parts of the software solutions were being utilized over time.
Alfred Peters, Operations Manager at Metaal Groep Mook, explains: “Over the years, we developed our own approach within the software, but who’s to say it’s the most optimal? For instance, my car has many features I don’t use, which might be a missed opportunity. Our goal was to critically examine our working methods within ConstruSteel and collaboratively identify areas for improvement, increased efficiency, and enhanced professionalism.”
A forward-thinking and professional organization
A ConstruSteel Consultant visited the site, discussed the organization’s needs, and collaborated with various employees to streamline processes and ensure consistency. Alfred Peters adds: “The software solutions we used were well set up years ago, but with time and software evolution, it became apparent that some solutions could be smarter. Therefore, the configuration was adjusted by the Consultant.
Uniform procedures were also crucial for us, and significant attention was paid to this aspect. Some colleagues needed time to adapt to the new approaches, but we noticed that as they realized the new methods were more efficient, they became increasingly more enthusiastic about the new process setup. This Optimization process has brought us tremendous benefits and helps us be the forward-thinking and professional organization we aspire to be.”
