As manufacturing systems have adopted more remote measures over the last two years, the industry has become fodder for cybercriminals. In 2021, the manufacturing industry became the second most targeted just behind finance and insurance. This represents a 300% increase in a single year.

More recently, cyberattacks have become more malicious as ransomware becomes more common. This May, Parker-Hannifin Corporation revealed that they have been hacked by ransomware actors. The firm, which is one of the world's largest motion control tech manufacturers, shared that the hackers were threatening to release sensitive employee information if they were not paid a fee. Unfortunately, this is not the first nor the last insidious attack that has happened in the same vein.

The Continued Rise of Cybercrime Today

Undoubtedly, cybercrime has been one of the most steadily growing threats in today's digital era. Over the last decade, cybercrime has gone from niche to wide-scale as more industries and sectors transition online. Currently, up to 80% of all businesses are affected by cybercrime around the world. By the end of 2022, cybercrime is estimated to become so rampant that up to 10% of all internet users worldwide will be affected.

This has birthed the creation of more cybersecurity responses, which in turn has continued the demand for experts in this field. In order to meet the demand to tackle cybercrime across multiple industries colleges are including cybersecurity training across all IT degrees. Current programs in online management information systems now include advanced training in cybersecurity and data analysis alongside the curriculum's usual programming and project management courses. This allows graduates to design and build highly secure systems that are anchored around organization and cybersecurity. Industry stakeholders hope that this will create a more well-rounded IT ecosystem wherein every player is able to create a powerful defense against sophisticated cybercriminals. This same comprehensive approach is also being adopted in manufacturing systems.

How Cybersecurity Is Curbing The Manufacturing Industry's Biggest Threats

Presently, cybersecurity measures are steadily closing the gap through which cybercriminals have been slipping through. Among the most effective ways that cybersecurity is protecting manufacturing systems is by increasing transparency and heightening authentication processes. Since many manufacturers found themselves vulnerable to phishing, malware, and ransomware upon their switch to online remote practices, improved transparency ensures that everything from the supply chain to daily reports is not siloed. This means that it is easier to spot anomalies that may be a sign of a malicious third party. In some cases, this may mean adopting secure cloud-based software like Weever that can streamline data, enhance real-time visibility, and cut down on errors, omissions, and costs that are common with older approaches, like paper forms, or outdated software.

Second, since up to 30% of all cybercrime incidents in manufacturing start internally, having better authentication measures reduces the risk of accidental or purposeful leaks. In this method, even "soft targets" (small and medium-sized manufacturers) have a smaller entry point for hackers to exploit. Since a shows that up to 21% of all files are not protected in any way, by employing better protocols that limit access, these sensitive documents are less likely to be exposed. Some common authentication measures in manufacturing today include zero-trust and multi-factor authentication. Through these, should a breach occur, it is also relatively faster to track and secure because there are fewer entryways to examine. Conversely, the average data breach takes about 280 days to detect and contain. By creating a more secure environment that is also easier to investigate in the off-chance of a breach, organizations can save up to $1 million in costs by containing breaches in less than 200 days.

Is The Dawn of Cybersecure Manufacturing Near?

To date, the manufacturing industry is still in the crosshairs of many cybercriminals who want to take advantage of its relative vulnerabilities. Fortunately, although widespread cybersecurity rollouts are still modest, more industry leaders are exploring ways to better digitalize the sector. As per the latest manufacturing industry reports, the industry is looking into optimizing data to increase automation and decision-making. While this will mainly increase task and data management, this is also a step forward to better track cybercrime trends. Apart from this, more manufacturers are also embracing smart solutions like modular and highly secure software that can be easily deployed while also safeguarding their online processes.

All in all, this bodes well for manufacturing systems that have thus far been lagging in terms of security and advancement. While this doesn't mean that the sector will ever truly be rid of cybercrime, it does mean that manufacturers are one step closer to becoming more secure players in Industry 4.0.

The cost of non-compliance for FDA violations can vary depending on several factors, including the nature and severity of the violation, the scale of the operation, and the history of compliance of the manufacturer.

Some relatively recent examples of extreme compliance violation penalties include:

Peanut Corporation of America (PCA)

In 2008 and 2009, PCA was involved in a salmonella outbreak linked to its peanut butter and peanut paste products. The outbreak resulted in hundreds of illnesses and several deaths. PCA knowingly shipped contaminated products and engaged in other unsanitary practices. The company's executives were prosecuted, and the CEO was sentenced to 28 years in prison. PCA filed for bankruptcy, and the subsequent legal proceedings and compensations amounted to significant financial losses.

Blue Bell Creameries

In 2015, Blue Bell, a popular ice cream manufacturer, faced a major listeria outbreak linked to its products. The outbreak resulted in several illnesses and three deaths. Blue Bell was found to have known about the contamination but failed to take appropriate actions. The company issued a nationwide recall and temporarily halted production at its facilities. Blue Bell faced regulatory scrutiny, legal actions, and a deferred prosecution agreement that required the company to pay over $19 million in fines and forfeitures.

Chipotle Mexican Grill

In 2015 and 2016, Chipotle experienced several foodborne illness outbreaks related to E. coli, norovirus, and salmonella. These outbreaks affected multiple locations across the United States and resulted in numerous illnesses. Chipotle faced extensive negative publicity, a decline in sales, and significant costs associated with outbreak investigations, legal settlements, and implementing food safety improvements. The company was required to pay millions of dollars in fines and settlement fees.

ConAgra Foods

In 2007, ConAgra Foods had a major recall of its Peter Pan and Great Value brand peanut butter products due to a salmonella outbreak. The outbreak resulted in hundreds of illnesses. Investigations revealed that the company's Georgia facility had several operational and sanitation deficiencies. ConAgra Foods faced legal actions, including class-action lawsuits, and the company settled with affected individuals. The total cost of the recall and subsequent legal proceedings amounted to tens of millions of dollars.

These examples highlight the potential consequences faced by large food manufacturing companies when they violate regulations and compromise public health. It's important to note that penalties and outcomes can vary depending on the specific circumstances, severity of violations, and regulatory actions taken.

Some potential costs associated with FDA violations for food manufacturers may include:

Regulatory penalties

The FDA can impose monetary penalties for non-compliance, which can range from warning letters and fines to more severe measures like product seizure, injunctions, or even criminal charges.

Product recall expenses

If a food product is found to be non-compliant or poses a risk to public health, a manufacturer may be required to recall the product from the market. This can involve costs related to notifying consumers, removing products from distribution channels, and disposing of or reworking the affected products.

Legal fees

Non-compliance issues may result in legal proceedings, requiring the services of attorneys to navigate the regulatory process, defend the company's interests, or negotiate settlements.

Reputational damage

Violations of FDA regulations can harm a company's reputation and consumer trust, leading to decreased sales, loss of market share, or difficulty in attracting new customers.

Remediation costs

Correcting the non-compliant practices and implementing necessary changes can involve expenses such as process modifications, facility upgrades, employee training, and quality control enhancements.

It's important to note that the actual costs can vary significantly based on the unique circumstances of each violation and the actions taken by the FDA and the food manufacturer. It's advisable for food manufacturers to prioritize compliance with FDA regulations and maintain a robust quality assurance and regulatory compliance program to minimize the risk of violations and associated costs.

Consulting with legal and regulatory experts specific to the food industry can provide more accurate and up-to-date information regarding the potential costs of non-compliance.

In an insightful customer story video, Kody Crossen, Operations Manager EHS for Walmart Distribution Center (DC) in Pennsylvania, reveals the invaluable role of Behavior-Based Safety Observations (BBSO) in preventing safety incidents. Discover why Kody has found Weever, an innovative operations management software platform specializing in Food and CPG manufacturing, to be an indispensable tool for managing Walmart's BBSO program.

Full Video TranscriptExpand

My name is Kody Crossen.

I am the Operations Manager of EHS for DC6080 in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania.

Anytime anybody's looking at a safety program one of the most important details is looking at proactive versus reactive measures. In a warehouse setting it's very easy to fall into the trap of just constantly being reactive and looking at post-accident reviews the the building had in place safety observations.

But it was a little bit more like checking a box that you observe somebody. It wasn't necessarily providing any valuable metrics so kind of again fell into this trap of of checking a box of well, "yes we do observations" but then the back end of that was really well what are we getting out of it we needed something that was able to dig a little bit deeper within the operation of the building to understand what was going on.

It started out with what we were referring to as a soft launch so we had taken everything that that Weaver had put together for our building and we presented it to the operation staff.

They took a look at it helped make some changes and so then we took that feedback and we tried to really streamline it for the user. We took the new version went out as the operations team and we we piloted it and then officially wrote it out to the entire management staff here with any new process.

We want everyone to buy into the ease of use so another huge aspect that was really has been critical is implementing the QR codes. So the QR code were placed at the end of every single rack and a lot of managers are feeling favorable feedback about that basically, "hey I was walking in this area I was observing this associate and took my phone out took a picture of the QR code and now I have the form live to do an observation."

The first one is looking at manager engagement is the gaps in places that we should be doing more observations.

Having a snapshot of that right there on the report is incredibly helpful because we can see if we're having misses as a management team and what that allowed us to do is, you know as an environmental health and safety team, is start making our next moves and decisions based off of the real-time data of where we were seeing hot spots for things like body position, personal protective equipment, and those that were maybe breaking away or not following policies and procedures that were set forth to keep them safe.

But then also looking at the the the data based around the associate's behavior so if that is a body positioning issue we can have a conversation before there's an injury and it's kind of allowing us to no longer fly blind.

We know some prevalent bad habits that folks have but this is taking the assumption piece out of it and it's actually showing us hard data for different areas.

One in particular that has been extremely helpful is we're finding one area has a lot of issues with pinch gripping so we're going to set up more observations based around those work areas to stay ahead of it and to let associates know that you know historically this can, and does, lead to an injury and I don't want to take away the ability that the safety observations has given us to also have positive recognition we're finding a lot of people that are out there doing the right thing regularly and it's just a really good way to highlight that associate or those Associates for doing the right thing.

There's managers out there that that are really really good at looking at specific criteria of safety and then there's others that maybe they're just scratching the surface of it.

But they're not able to to maybe dig as deep as you would like and so this has now given them the tool that they need to have the appropriate conversation and to look at the correct things.

So it's it's shifted our safety culture in here from a management perspective because now we are much more focused in on what we should be looking at and it also allows the associates to understand what we are looking for so it's not as arbitrary as it once was.

So it's creating a lot more conversation and I think it's making associates much more mindful of their actions because there are people that are watching to make sure that they don't get hurt.

So now that we have it completely live across the building we're able to break it down by shift and so what that does is it gives us a road map to share during our daily meetings with fellow managers on on areas of opportunity.

So, I would recommend Weever because of the way that they want to make sure you're getting the needs for your building. Even a warehouse for Walmart in Virginia, or New York, they might be looking for something that's a little bit different than what I need in my part of the world and having the flexibility and the ability to have that constant communication back and forth with Weever to make sure that we are getting everything that we need exactly and knowing that before anything's rolled out to the building it has been looked at dozens and dozens if not hundreds of time by multiple people.

That to me was was huge. So it really solved the issue of switching gears from being reactive to more proactive. Right now we're kind of posturing ourselves to be probably 60 to 70 percent proactive. It's much easier to anticipate what's coming next knowing the infractions of safety and related items because of the BBSOs.

Enhancing Safety Observations with Weever

Seeking a comprehensive software solution for safety observation management, Kody turned to Weever. Dissatisfied with their existing system that merely checked off completed observations, Kody recognized the need for a platform that could offer intelligent insights to understand trends and proactively prevent incidents.

"We wanted to put our foot forward at being proactive and looking at various trends in the multitude of different procedures we have going on 24/7."

Improving the efficiency of workstations is critical for businesses to increase their Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

However, the challenge lies in justifying the time and money invested in Lean initiatives, often because the benefits of these initiatives are not tangible, which makes it difficult to prove their return on investment (ROI).

The 5S methodology is one such initiative that aims to optimize the efficiency of workstations by removing clutter and redundant items, organizing the workspace, and standardizing the approach.

This system has proven effective in not only increasing efficiency and productivity but also reducing defects and waste, increasing employee engagement and retention.

However, site managers often ask for tangible proof of the ROI, which poses a challenge for Continuous Improvement (CI) managers.

How can cycle times help?

To address this issue, CI managers can use cycle-based activity timing during 5S audits.
Cycle time is the duration of one production cycle, and it can be used as a metric to identify improvement opportunities in a manufacturing process.

By measuring cycle time, managers can identify bottlenecks, waste, and inefficiencies, and develop strategies to improve the process.

Cycle-based activity timing involves timing operators while they perform a cycle-based activity, such as palletizing one pallet of product, capping one case of product, packing one case of product, labeling one case of product, or filling one case of product.

How does it work?

CI managers work with operators to choose an activity that is consistent over time for each workstation. The average time for each activity is charted over time. If the 5S initiative is working, cycle times will decrease, and OEE will increase.

Measuring cycle time can be used to improve manufacturing processes by reducing setup time, improving flow, and increasing throughput.

Moreover, this practice offers strategic guidance to focus on areas that yield the most results. For instance, CI managers may discover that capper machine workstations are lagging behind the other groups, indicating a need to review the 5S and talk to operators about how to improve workstations.

How can Weever help?

Weever includes a cycle-time stopwatch feature and a Performance Improvement Report so you can begin this process ASAP with our platform. Feel free to learn more about how Weever solves 5S audits.

Top 5 Frontline Employee Engagement Best Practice

Are you tired of slogging through your workday, feeling unfulfilled and disconnected from your organization? Do you wish you could be part of a culture of excellence that inspires innovation, collaboration, and engagement? Well, look no further! We have compiled some of the best practices we've seen in our 10 years of working with organizations around the world to help you build a culture of engagement and achieve amazing results.

1) Get Everyone Involved

First and foremost, get everyone involved! It's crucial that everyone is "rowing in the same direction" to build a culture of excellence. Your organization should empower, energize, and enable everyone, not just a chosen few. Detractors who feel left behind can infect others with negativity, so it's important to remove employees who aren't willing to participate and elevate themselves.

Weever helps get everyone involved through a universal site license instead of selling user "seats." Our platform is universally useful across all departments and operational use cases, making participation more accessible and inclusive.

2) Reward Innovation & Collaboratio

Reward innovation and collaboration! Encourage employees to share ideas and experiment with new approaches. Recognizing and rewarding employees for their hard work and achievements can help boost morale and increase engagement. Encourage cross-functional collaboration and teamwork to build a sense of community and make employees feel more connected to each other and the organization.

3) Clearly Define and Communicate Rolesand Objectives

Clearly define and communicate roles and objectives. Clear and consistent communication is key to building a culture of excellence and engagement. Ensure that employees are kept informed about the organization's goals, challenges, and progress. A clear sense of purpose can help employees feel more connected to the organization's mission and understand how their work contributes to it.

4) Get onto "The Floor" and Lead by Example

Leaders should model the behaviors they want to see in their employees, including a commitment to excellence, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn and grow. The hardest part of implementing a culture of engagement is simply finding time to do it. Leaders must prioritize engaging with frontline staff to make a real positive impact on the company.

5) Invest in Skills Development & Safety

Invest in skills development! Providing opportunities for training and development, both technical and non-technical, can help employees build their skills and feel more valued. Investing in employee skills and training can also have numerous other benefits for manufacturing organizations, including increased employee engagement, motivation, retention, productivity, and quality.

Elevated safety can have a positive impact on employee engagement at manufacturing organizations by building trust, boosting morale, reducing stress, increasing productivity, and improving retention. When employees feel safe at work

Why is a Culture of Excellence important?

Industrial automation has revolutionized the manufacturing industry, but too much dependence on it can create disengaged employees. Building a Culture of Excellence can help to mitigate this issue.

Firstly, it's important to recognize that continuous improvement is essential to maintaining competitiveness and profitability in the manufacturing industry. In order to achieve this, a company needs to constantly look for ways to improve processes, products, and services. This requires additional work and a Culture of Excellence is required to drive continuous improvement.

Building a Culture of Excellence means creating an environment where employees are engaged, motivated, and committed to achieving the company's goals. When employees are engaged, they are more likely to be invested in the success of the company and willing to put in the extra effort required to drive continuous improvement. They will be more likely to identify areas for improvement and contribute innovation that can help the company stay ahead of the competition.

In addition, a Culture of Excellence can help to foster a sense of pride and ownership in the work that employees do. When employees feel that their work is valued and that they are contributing to the success of the company, they are more likely to be satisfied with their jobs and to remain loyal to the company.

Finally, building a Culture of Excellence can also help to attract and retain top talent. In a competitive industry like manufacturing, having a reputation for excellence can help to differentiate a company from its competitors and make it more attractive to potential employees.

Too much dependence on AI and Industry 4.0 industrial automation can also ostracize employees and destroy your culture. (Learn more about our take on Human Intelligence at https://weeversoftware.com/product)

Frontline Employee Engagement Ultimate Guide

Hello there, department managers of manufacturing organizations! Are you ready to enhance your frontline employee engagement and turn your workplace into a Culture of Excellence? Of course, you are! Let me tell you about a concept that can help you get there: increasing the ease and usefulness of cultural participation.

Now, before you roll your eyes and think "Oh great, another buzzword," hear me out. Studies have shown that participation in continuous improvement programs is heavily influenced by the intention of employees to participate. In other words, if your employees don't care about your program, it's going to fall flat on its face. So, how can you increase the intention of your employees to participate? By making it easy and useful for them, of course!

1) Ease of Participation

Let's start with ease. You want your employees to be able to participate in your program with minimal effort. So, make it accessible! Mobile apps and digital tools can make a world of difference for your employees. Consider providing tablets or other devices to your frontline staff so they can easily access the necessary forms and resources. Additionally, providing on-demand instructions and tutorials can make participation barrier-free, removing the roadblocks that prevent employees from engaging.

Schedules can also make a big difference. By assigning tasks and reminders digitally, your employees can stay on track and participate in your program without getting pulled in different directions during their shifts. And don't forget about investing in your employees' skills development! Offering microlearning sessions, toolbox talks, and one-point lessons can help your employees grow and develop over time.

2) Usefulness of Participating

Now, let's talk about usefulness. You want your employees to feel like their participation in your program is beneficial to them. So, ask yourself: What's in it for them?

Frontline Employee Engagement Ultimate Guide

Take a Guided Tour.

Most plants have a version of this moment: a shift supervisor calls a quick huddle, someone points at a whiteboard with yesterday's numbers, a few issues get mentioned out loud, and everyone heads back to the floor. It feels like alignment. But by next shift, half of what got flagged is already forgotten, because nobody owned it and nothing was tracked.

A Daily Management System (DMS), also called Daily Direction Setting (DDS), is what turns that loose daily habit into a structured one. It's the operating rhythm that keeps a plant's continuous improvement efforts from fading the same way every other "we'll get to it" initiative does.

Here's what a DMS actually involves, why it matters, and how to run one that survives past the whiteboard stage.

What is a Daily Management System (DMS)?

A DMS is a structured framework for managing day-to-day operational performance in manufacturing, built around continuous improvement and waste reduction. Rather than relying on ad hoc conversations, it gives a plant a consistent daily rhythm for reviewing performance, surfacing problems, and acting on them before they compound.

A typical DMS is built on five core elements:

1. Daily meetings. Short, regular meetings where teams review performance metrics and flag issues that need attention, keeping everyone aligned and problems moving instead of sitting until someone remembers.
2. Standard work procedures. Documented, consistent procedures that keep quality and output predictable across shifts and operators.
3. Visual management. Charts, dashboards, and boards that make key performance indicators visible at a glance, so status doesn't require asking around to find out.
4. Structured problem-solving. A repeatable process for tracing an issue back to its root cause, instead of patching the symptom and waiting for it to resurface.
5. Continuous improvement. A standing expectation that teams identify and act on small improvements daily, rather than saving change for a quarterly initiative.

What are the benefits of a DMS framework?

• ‍Better communication. Daily meetings and visual boards mean issues surface the same day they happen, not whenever someone happens to notice.‍
• A clearer focus on results. Performance metrics stay front and center instead of getting buried in a spreadsheet nobody opens between monthly reviews.‍
• Less waste. Standard work and structured problem-solving give teams a consistent way to catch and eliminate waste in the process, not just in the finished product.‍
• A real culture of continuous improvement. When small daily improvements are expected and visible, continuous improvement stops being a program and starts being how the plant actually runs.

A daily meeting without a way to track what was said is just a conversation. A DMS is what turns that conversation into follow-through.

Why DMS programs stall on paper and whiteboards

The elements above are straightforward on their own. What's hard is sustaining them.

A whiteboard gets erased before an issue is closed. A paper tracker gets updated inconsistently across shifts. A metric gets discussed in the meeting but never makes it into a report leadership actually reviews. The DMS framework isn't the problem, the follow-through is.

How Weever supports a Daily Management System

Weever is the Connected Worker Platform built for food, beverage, and CPG manufacturers, and a DMS is exactly the kind of daily operating rhythm it's built to run.

The idea behind Weever is simple: engage your team, unlock your data, improve your plant. A DMS depends on all three working together, and that's the loop Weever is built to close.

1. ‍Capture. Instead of a whiteboard that gets wiped clean at the next shift change, the right check, observation, or metric reaches the right person and gets captured at the source, with evidence, so the data behind your daily meeting is trustworthy from the start.‍
2. Act. Every issue raised in a daily meeting gets an owner, a due date, and a status you can follow to closure, so nothing quietly drops between shifts the way it does on a paper tracker.‍
3. Analyze. Frontline data usually ends up fragmented across separate logs, boards, and spreadsheets, with the context behind it, the why, missing entirely. Weever connects that data across every program, line, shift, and site into one real-time picture, so your daily meeting is grounded in what's actually happening, not a partial view.

That connected, structured data is also what feeds Weever Radar, the operational intelligence built into Weever. Instead of a dashboard you have to interpret yourself, Radar surfaces what's happening, what it means, and what to do next, across every line, shift, and site, which is exactly the kind of standing visibility a mature DMS program depends on.
