hand-made

Life at the shop has under gone some changes lately. There has been a little shake-out, and reorganization. We are currently at half capacity in terms of work load. I have mixed emotions about it, a positive is that we have more time now to work on assets and infrastructure. both of which have suffered recently because we have so busy we haven't been able to look at either of those. As far as our assets go I want to aggressively maintain and repair any assets to extend their lives. With infrastructure I want to improve work flow, by looking more closely at how we do what we do. Starting out with the paper flow(information flow), raw material flow, finish product flow, and personal flow(this refers to in the shop) Outside of the shop installation that is is a different thing totally. Although outside the shop cannot be forgotten. How the trucks are maintained is very important as well, And I will be spending time with the van, I am actually thinking of revamping the inside of the van totally. New shelving, smaller more effective shelving, it also involves some new portable tool boxes that I need to make. Hand made tool boxes are really the way to go, they will be more effective at holding what you need, and they will last much longer.
