“More work to do. Less time to do it. Less people. Less space. As a result, we require smart tools … the right tools for the right jobs. Tools that help us be more productive. Tools that make us look good.” ALEXANDER MCCAHILL-2002

Gross Domestic Product has increased 40% since 1991 Productivity • # of hours worked per week has remained constant since 1991 • Individual worker productivity output has increased 44% since 1991 • Average hourly wage has increased 40% since 1991 (BUREAU OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS)
Are we really working smarter? Absolutely! Do you remember… Life before email? # of American households with Internet access in 1991–less than 1% in 2001–47%! (U.S. CENSUS BUREAU) Do you remember… When you didn’t have a computer at your desk? # of white collar computer users in 1991–34% in 2001–92%! (US CENSUS BUREAU) Do you remember… Cell phones so big they had their own carrying cases? # of cell subscribers in 1991–7,500,000 in 2001–130,000,000! (CELLULAR TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION) Bottom Line—life has changed and we are all affected!
We need to continue to work SMARTER… Workspaces are getting smaller (AMERICAN HOME BUSINESS ASSOCIATION) • 40 million Americans (60% of white collar workforce) work in cubicles • Personal workspace has shrunk 25-50% in the last decade Non-traditional office space continues to grow • 8000 people a day joining home working movement • 23.8 million people now have income-generating home offices • More than 10 million telecommuters in the U.S. Increased demand for meeting time • Managers now spend 50% of their work time in meetings • Preliminary information from your company suggest this number is closer to 236%...
Are you using less paper? More information is producing more paper! • “Use of office grade paper is increasing 15%per year. Only 10%of documents are stored electronically.” Every day U.S. workers produce… 600 million pages of computer printouts 234 million photocopies 76 million letters 24 million documents 45 sheets of paper per worker per day (OFFICESYSTEM98) • “Documents claim up to 60% of office workers. time and account for up to 45% of labor costs.” • “The cost of documents to Corporate America is estimated to reach as much as15%of annual corporate revenue.” (JAN JASPER: TAKE BACK YOUR TIME)
How much time does it take... To print 10 pages on a laser printer………………….2 minutes To copy 10 pages on a copy machine……………….2 minutes To fax 10 pages on a fax machine…………………...4 minutes To staple 10 reports with a traditional stapler……………….… 2 minutes To staple 10 reports with an electric stapler ………………..… 1 minute To punch 10 reports with a traditional punch……………..…... 3 minutes To punch 10 reports with an electric punch………………….... 1.5 minutes The amount of information is increasing… The amount of paper is increasing … What is the SMART way to manage this situation?
SMART work requires understanding how you work... Are you a heavy, moderate or light user? • How many times per week do you use your stapler or punch? • How many sheets do you staple or punch at one time? Do you have your own tools or do you have to share them? • Individual tools at your own workstation • Tools shared with others or used in common workspaces
Is your stapler a SMART tool? • 50–60% of office workers have their own stapler • 92% of all office stapling is for 10 pages or less per occurrence • Office workers use their stapler an average of four times per day • Jamming is the area of greatest dissatisfaction with staplers for most office workers • A common problem in offices is “staplers that sprout legs and walk away.” That is, people borrow the staplers and forget to return them. (HARRISON GROUP–2000)
Is your punch a SMART tool? • 35% of office workers have their own punch • 70% of office workers punch 2–10 pages per occurrence • 53% of office workers use a punch 5–29 times per occurrence • 65% of office workers use a punch two or more times per week • Ease of use and sheet capacity are the most important attributes for punches among office workers (MARKET FACTS–2002)
What really slows you down? Jams!!! What causes a stapler to jam? • too many pages being stapled • the wrong staples or low quality staples What causes a punch to jam? • poor quality punch • worn punch pins • weak springs from extended use • overloaded paper chip tray The right tools for each job are important if you want to work SMART!
What really slows you down? Jams!!! If it takes an average of 12 seconds to staple or punch a document, how long does it take: • to correct a jammed stapler…………………………………………………..2 minutes • to correct a jammed punch…………………………………………….……..2 minutes Now that the jam is corrected how much time does it take to reproduce the damaged document……………….……8 minutes An average jam costs you= 10 minutes per occurrence Average 3 jams per week= 30 minutes per week 50 work weeks in a year= 25 hours per year wasted on jams It adds up…you need the right tools if you want to work SMART!
