What is Value?   How many times has a machine broken down at the worse possible time? This leads to rushed repairs and huge down time. What happens to your schedule and customer satisfaction at times like these? What are the true cost of “Wait till it breaks” thinking? These moments can be mostly eliminated. By doing routine checks with the Wellness Programs on all your equipment. A history develops and you will now know for sure what machines are best for tight tolerance work and which machines you might want to fix soon or trade in? Management and lead people will make much more informed decisions relating to what machines should be doing what kind of work and when machines should be scheduled for down time for maintenance and repairs. Adding MUCH needed VALUE to your production process. It is my goal to further my education and to share this knowledge with my customers and anyone in the manufacturing trades to improve the overall condition of manufacturing in this Country. In these very complicated and global economic times, we must all look for the long-term value in everything that we do. I believe it is paramount for our future in the globally competitive market that exists today.
