“Every Minute of Extra Setup time is Profit Lost.”
Uncertanty, indecision, delays, errors, rework & disorganization at the Setup stage chew into profit.
Our training systematically eliminates the common causes of setup delay & inconsistency getting your machines from job to job faster.
Machine shops lose huge amounts of profit every year from:
-
Excessive machine down time
-
Long & inconsistent machine setup times
-
Operators “figuring it out”
-
Scrap parts and missed deadlines
-
Difficulty training new hires quickly
