Feeling a turnaround

I'm starting to get my mojo going again....sometimes you can just feel it in your bones or by the vibe you get from others when you're telling them about your organization. It's strange when you're accustomed to repeated rejection when potential clients are now receptive to your shops skills offerings. Big motivational boost for me and the guys that things are getting better and may be alright. I won't rest on any opportunity that comes our way, but push harder and harder to see this through fruition. Tomorrow is another day to impress another client.

One of the many manufacturing related requirements is having a healthy OSHA Safety program. Your program should include having a safe evacuation plan in the event of an emergency. Your evacuation plan should have an associated map of escape routes to a muster location for a head count. This is mine.

Weld Machine Calibration

I've been struggling with coming up with a Calibration Procedure for my machines. Other than the obvious cosmetic stuff; i.e. damage or broken things like wheels, dials, chains, weld gun, trigger, wiring... that's the basic shit but what about the technical adjustments? I'm trying to do the right thing because its imperative that I have machines, and an organization, that can survive a rigorous audit. Its a giant pain in the ass to do all the seemingly nuisance busywork but I need to fight the urge to avoid the shitty stuff and come up with a workable solution. I'm building a checklist and try to cover the bases and hopefully get some feedback on the list to complete the process.
