Micromachining and Flat-Screen TVs
A Pennsylvania shop has benefitted by developing an effective micromachining strategy for hard tooling components. Learn more about this as well as the interesting incentive program it’s implemented.
And here’s another example of the type of neat tidbits we learn about because we actually take time to visit shops. This year, Quala-Die implemented an incentive points program to reward employees who give extra effort.
Employees build points that can be redeemed for items like the ones shown below. Send me an email if you have implemented a similar program. I’d love to hear about it.
