November-December 2016
Many manufacturers are feeling cautious about the economy and hesitant to make new investments until they get a better sense of certainty. But things are changing faster than ever now. Here are some industry forecasts about some market sectors that could be hot and others that may not.
Even small improvements in production can add up over time. Wireless foot controls offer a return on investment by helping to improve productivity and efficiency in TIG welding operations and eliminating the time and money spent on control cord repairs and failure, reducing weld clutter in the work space, and improving operator comfort and mobility.
The deep-seated cultural change required by Lean manufacturing is difficult for many metal fabricators that are trying to become more competitive by attempting to apply certain Lean principles without a deeper understanding of the process itself and its parts. The willingness to transform firmly established business approaches is not easy, but it is a requirement for success that will pay dividends in the long run.
