Resources management – management for construction and craft industry

Operating resources as a production factor

Operating resources are among the most important, if not the most decisive factors in a company. The success of the respective service production in the enterprise depends on the care and administration of the necessary operating funds. Operating resources are indispensable, especially for the manufacturing industry. Along with materials and labor, they are among the elementary factors within the company’s production.

What are operating resources

Operating resources are operational production factors (labor, operating resources, materials). In addition to land and buildings, operating resources include machines, materials that are processed, tools, the vehicle fleet, and operating and business equipment.

They are indispensable for every company, depending on the industry in which they are used and the services they provide. Broadly speaking, operating resources are divided into tangible goods and intangible goods.

Intangible goods include, for example, licenses and patents. Tangible goods include machines, computers, and tools. Regardless of the industry, resources are the deciding factor for efficient and successful performance. Operating resources are of high importance for every company – therefore, the management of said resources is indispensable.

Many companies that have exceeded the size of a one-man business and have become small and medium-sized enterprises quickly lose track of the tools, machines, and equipment they use. The material used often gets lost and quickly one loses control. Who has which piece of equipment? Is it still functional? When do quality and safety certificates expire? Do we have enough of them?

The management of operating resources

Equipment management gives you visibility into your inventory and significantly reduces material waste. Organization and resource management is more than half the battle:

• Keep an eye on inventory at all times.
• Make important work equipment available to employees.
• Control access to the respective resources.
• Keep an eye on maintenance and inspections.
• Store any information about the use and application areas of the tools.

These and other tasks are part of good resource management so that the respective services can be provided efficiently. Depending on the industry and operation, several resources have to be managed – an enormous administrative effort for employees. A cloud-based software brings several advantages for this, to resource management.
