It is therefore essential that the equipment is regularly serviced and issues are quickly found and fixed, a function carried out by professional milking machine technicians. With the numbers of milking machine technicians halving between 2000 and 2010, there was concern that farm productivity and profitability would be adversely affected if the decline continued.<\/p>\n What we did<\/u>:\u00a0 The Harris Park Group worked with a Milk Harvesting expert (Professor Graeme Mein) and Workforce Planning consultant (Kim Windsor) to assess the workforce issues relating to milking machine technicians and recommend a path forward. Understanding of the situation faced by those in this sector was built from interviews with senior management of all five Original Equipment Manufacturers, the principals of 12 dealerships, and online surveys of the milking machine technicians and 15 farmers in regions with low density of farms (\u2018thin markets\u2019). Preliminary recommendations were refined at an industry workshop.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Further Reading” title=”Further Reading” url_new_window=”off” use_icon=”off” icon_color=”#8cc63f” use_circle=”off” circle_color=”#8cc63f” use_circle_border=”off” circle_border_color=”#8cc63f” icon_placement=”top” animation=”top” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_icon_font_size=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” header_text_color=”#669933″]<\/p>\n Client report is not in the public domain<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” global_module=”198″ make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” custom_margin=”10px||0px|”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text global_parent=”198″ admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” text_text_color=”#669933″]<\/p>\n More Projects<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code global_parent=”198″ admin_label=”Code”]<HR WIDTH=”100%” COLOR=”#669933″ SIZE=”1″>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_post_nav global_parent=”198″ admin_label=”Post Navigation” in_same_term=”off” hide_prev=”off” hide_next=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] [\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″][et_pb_post_title admin_label=”Post Title” title=”on” meta=”off” author=”on” date=”on” categories=”on” comments=”on” featured_image=”off” featured_placement=”below” parallax_effect=”on” parallax_method=”on” text_orientation=”left” text_color=”dark” text_background=”off” text_bg_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)” module_bg_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” title_all_caps=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” title_text_color=”#669933″ title_font=”|on|||”] [\/et_pb_post_title][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Proj-DA-WFPA-MMT-farmer-survey-2012.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”left” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” custom_margin=”||0px|”] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Caption” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” text_font_size=”12″ text_text_color=”#7c7c7c”] Above: Farmers were surveyed […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"project_category":[],"project_tag":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/365"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/365\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1010,"href":"https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/365\/revisions\/1010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=365"},{"taxonomy":"project_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harrisparkgroup.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_tag?post=365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
