Travel, Visit and Collaborate In the past several months My wife's Princess Lottie has more than doubled in size. Time fly's. I have been visiting in Northwester PA a thermoplastic manufacturing plant and a continuous chemical manufacturing plant. Over the years since my wife was in thermoplastic manufacturing and crossed over to the dark side Human Resources been in a number of thermoplastic plants; although the equipment and molds have evolved the processes have remained similar in unreinforced plastics. The chemical plant was interesting to see due to my exposure to the plant and processes from my past. Nice to see the investments over time but still relatively similar processes with the scale larger. I'm not looking for a disagreement from others this is my snapshot from recent exposure. Now to the most recent travels to Michigan to a pattern and mold shop and several low pressure thermoset plants. First the mold side similar to what I am accustom to seeing in mast cast and contact molding. The materials and processes are standard practices for most. Even though the molds and paterns were good to standards; we could use some new thoughts on how we do it as thermoset molders and look at increased cycle output and reduced labor. Over the past 10 years that has been one of my interest areas; because manufacturing Team members are difficult to attract and retain. Our older workforce is leaving and the tribal knowledge and skills are leaving with them. Process improvements start with the tooling decisions and then the materials selection before manufacturing. That is Engineering and Chemistry blended thinking. The molding plants visited follow similar concerns from an outsider's snapshot visits. The materials and processes are typical to the industry in Open Mold, LRTM and Liquid Composite Molding. With a few additions to the existing materials and processes some incremental gains in efficiency and through put can be realized. My comments come from my experiences and concerns. All molders in thermoset composites are and will continue to suffer labor concerns. Let's face it this is not the most attractive industry for our labor force and if we can cleanup our processes and improve the environment through materials and processes this could go a step forward for the future. Have fun pondering what could be it is about continuous improvement after all. #girardpa #composites #fiberglassmolding #collaboration #continuoslearning
