HOT JOBS in Production and Materials Handling | Monroe Michigan Manufacturing Jobs

While much of the USA recovers from what has been a tough season, the good news is that there are a number of exciting entry and mid-level careers available in Michigan, a state that has been hit hard by the recession. Some of the top growth industries include manufacturing and logistics for top industrial companies in and around the Monroe area.

Career Outlook for Production and Material Handling Professionals

Candidates who have an interest or background in material production and handling can find rewarding assignments that have above-average starting wages and on-the-job training opportunities. The US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics advises that there will be 48,700 new jobs created in materials handling by the year 2020, with a vast majority of these pros working in warehouses and factories managing product inventories to increase business revenues.

Requirements for Working in Shipping and Receiving, and Production Jobs

Material handlers must have at least a high school diploma or GED, and be able to stand, bend, and lift materials throughout the day with minimal supervision. Material handlers often work indoors, in climate controlled environments as part of a team of workers. Strong mathematics, hand-eye coordination, and time management skills are a plus. Production and shipping workers can expect from 1 to 6 months of training, average salaries of $24,000 USD annually, and rapid career advancement for top performers.

Demand Response Can Lower Cost for Your Manufacturing Facility

As a manufacturing facility in a struggling economy, you may be finding it challenging to meet expenses on a regular basis. It’s not uncommon with fluctuating costs in materials, shipping and transportation, and even the costs of recruiting manufacturing personnel. Yet, there is a way you can bring in extra revenues this year. Joining a demand response program can improve your cash flow, lower your facility costs, and help to maintain a thriving manufacturing business. Here’s how.

A demand response program is one that asks manufacturing companies to reduce their electricity use during certain peak times, in an effort to protect the electricity grid. To be compensated as a manufacturing company, it’s required to reduce electricity usage in return for financial compensation. This can be significant, considering that a large manufacturer may receive a grant payment of as much as $50,000 during a single demand response event, simply by cutting power usage by 1,500 KW.

On the back-end  the company will also save money by reducing electricity utility bills. For the average manufacturing plant, this can be in the thousands of dollars. This is money that can be invested in other aspects of running a business, such as staff training, equipment upgrades, and building maintenance. The rewards and incentives of demand response program participants are many, including the ability to be a leading sustainable company in the manufacturing industry.

Additionally, it’s possible to reduce damage and wear to costly manufacturing equipment during power grid down-times  During unexpected power surges and voltage fluctuations, these electrical pulses can cause damage to equipment and even internal computing systems. However, as a participant in the demand response program, your company will instead be alerted to potential brownouts and surges in the power grid, giving you the ability to shut down beforehand.

Be prepared to participate in a demand response program by understanding that your facility will have to be wait listed for a time before acceptance, and you must be flexible in order to meet each program. This means also having access to temporary contract workers who can manage second and third-shift working hours, when your manufacturing plant will be encouraged to be at full operation. However, the rewards for participating in a demand response effort can far outweigh the requirements.

Advance Happenings!

Adopt-a-Family
Advance’s annual Adopt-a-Family program was a huge success!  This year, 2 of our employees faced hardship and tragedy that touched our hearts.  Chet has worked for us on various assignments for more than 8 years and Carissa (4yrs) whose father worked for us for nearly 2 years and died suddenly just before the holidays.  Due to the overwhelming response from our clients, vendors and staff, we were able to not only bring them a happier holiday, but were also able to assist others that were less fortunate this holiday season through a local community center.

Predictions and Solutions for the Industrial Sector

The American Staffing Association reached out to representatives in each industry sector to ask: What do you think will be the sector trend to watch this year and how do you predict your sector could change in 2012?

Our president, Stacey Bigelow, was chosen by ASA to speak for the industrial sector and made the following predictions:

  • More businesses will experience additional production needs.
  • Some of the clerical/administrative positions that were lost during the economic downturn will be restored.
  • However, companies will continue to be cautious about committing to permanent hires.
  • The biggest hurdle in this sector will be the shortage of skilled labor.

What else will affect the industrial sector?

Ms. Bigelow pointed out that in an election year, the business world tends to experience a feeling of being unsettled, as companies wait to see whether there will be changes in the country’s administration and therefore changes in how things are done. The financial troubles in Europe are also on many business owners’ minds.

What does this mean for you?

Between the uptick in work, the employee shortage and the global implications of the election and the European economy, more companies are utilizing the flexibility of staffing services. Why?

Simple. They help you work around those issues mentioned above.

  • Need additional employees?
  • Having trouble finding people with the skills you need?
  • Not ready to add to your permanent payroll?

Your staffing firm can provide you with skilled, prescreened employees, whether temporarily or permanently. You don’t have to take the time to find them. You won’t have to pay overtime. You’ll have the people you need to get your work done, without worrying about layoffs or unemployment claims.

Economists predict that we’ll continue to see a slow but positive trend in employment throughout 2012, but it won’t be until 2013 until the economy really begins to pick up steam. Stay tuned to the Advance blog to stay up to date on industry trends and career advice—or call us anytime you’re looking for more.
