ing our expertise. The competition is global and only<br />
staying ahead at this level will enable us to remain<br />
competitive. The parts we produce are increasingly<br />
technologically advanced, whether for the watchmaking,<br />
medical or other industries. We therefore<br />
need to be one step ahead.<br />
dm : For this kind of outlook, the machine alone<br />
is not enough ; you need an efficient “manmachine”<br />
team. How do you guarantee quality<br />
at this level Is it easy to recruit skilled, motivated<br />
and efficient staff <br />
Mr. Magistrini : Staff is a key parameter in RSM’s<br />
success at the moment. The motivation of our people<br />
is very important, but it is not sufficient on its<br />
own : it must be supported with thorough and continuous<br />
training. The industrial world has changed<br />
dramatically, in terms of metrology, work preparation<br />
and programming and our partners must also<br />
be in possession of extensive expertise in these complementary<br />
areas.<br />
dm : Is it easy to implement this kind of training<br />
<br />
Mr. Magistrini : It is obvious that added-value<br />
is dependent on the qualification of personnel.<br />
Expertise in the use of tools, feeds, machines and<br />
processes all combine to strengthen the competitiveness<br />
of our company. We have organised training<br />
with Almac and other suppliers (DTP for example) so<br />
that we can also put our ideas into practice.<br />
We are making the most of the current drop in<br />
demand to set up a programme of metrology training.<br />
We are preparing a very advanced checking system<br />
which exceeds the expectations of our customers,<br />
so when these requests arise, we will be ready…<br />
and we will have a head start.<br />
Mr. Magistrini (left) and Mr. Gutknecht in front of the latest FB 1005 to arrive.<br />
dm : In your opinion, what makes a difference<br />
on the market today for RSM <br />
Mr. Magistrini : We are recognised as being highly<br />
competent. We are often asked to manufacture<br />
parts which are complex in terms either of their<br />
geometry or their surface finish. Our level of expertise<br />
is well above the average and our image on the<br />
market reflects this.<br />
Reputation is therefore very important for leading<br />
markets. We are continuously striving to improve,<br />
in terms of quality, machining options, precision…<br />
everything. This reputation must be based on three<br />
essential criteria, namely quality, the turnaround<br />
time and the price (in that order).<br />
Conclusion<br />
To return to Mr. Gutknecht‘s statement that “… it<br />
really is proof that Almac machines are the gateway<br />
to success”, Mr. Magistrini has shown us that<br />
machines alone can do nothing, and that the personnel,<br />
tools, implementation or even the processes<br />
are equally important parameters… nevertheless,<br />
this story has shown us that without this first<br />
FB 1005, no-one can be certain whether such success<br />
would have been achieved.<br />
