PRESIDENT’S LETTERTaking Care of Our OwnCONTINUING A LEGACYby Kimberly ArrigoniThe MPMA Educational Opportunities Foundation was once the “best kept secret” in MPMA.Over the past several years, the Foundation Board has strove to bring more attention to theFoundation with fundraising efforts and, in turn, awarding more scholarships than everbefore. I will be talking about the Foundation a lot during “my year as president.”There was a time when money for scholarships or special funding for projects would be left overdue to a lack of applicants. Now, the Foundation doesn’t have enough available funding to goaround for scholarships. More and more people are looking to our industry as a lifelong careerchoice, and many of them need help to attain the education they need.KIMBERLY ARRIGONIcontrollerHaberman MachineKimA@habermanmachine.comWe all need to ensure that the manufacturing industry, as a whole, is here for tomorrow andthe day after that and the day after that. Whether you are a machine shop, OEM, machine tooldistributor, finisher, bank, accounting or legal firm, your support is needed. “Taking care of ourown” needs to happen!What are we, as an association, going to do to get our workforce trained and how are we going to staycompetitive? Forget some of the worries we have had about China for a minute, what are the chanceswe now have to worry about neighboring states attracting our workforce because of their programs? Ihave learned that our neighbors to the east have a lofty goal, to credential 50 percent of Wisconsin’smanufacturing workforce! They aren’t the only state embracing these opportunities.I do believe in the power of numbers, the power of a collective voice. Compare the trickle effectfrom a pebble thrown into a lake versus that of a rock versus that of a boulder. Our workforcedepends on the rock and the boulder, spreading the same message, having it go further andreaching more with one toss. WE Own This! And we need to have a bigger, further-reachingimpact than the few scholarships a year we currently give out.The Education Foundation needs your support, in the way of dollars to support those interestedin the industry and to fund the programs that need our help. I know I am not telling youanything new and many of us already support our industry in various ways. Though it is nevereasy and certainly never fun to ask for money, it is something that needs to be done.I look forward to serving our association this year and have a great desire to see that our industrysurvives and thrives for years to come. I challenge us as business owners/entrepreneurs, asphilanthropists, as taxpayers and employees, to ensure this legacy continues. Time, talent and treasureare what make good things even greater. WE have the opportunity through all the attention ourindustry has received. WE need to make it happen and WE need to take care of our own!Wishing you all a prosperous 2013!PMJanuary | February 2013 PRECISION MANUFACTURING | 7

Minnesota Exports:Growing or Slowing?by Melissa DeBilzanThough Minnesota's export levels are at record highs, the pace of growthmay be slowing due to the European debt crisis and other factors.Minnesota exports are at an alltimehigh; yet, some manufacturersare cautiously optimistic about futureinternational sales.Exports reached $5.1 billion in thethird quarter of 2012, marking theeighth straight month of record growthin Minnesota. Manufacturing accountedfor the largest share of those exports,ringing in $4.6 billion in sales as moreand more small- to medium-sizedmanufacturers get in the export game.The largest exports of manufacturedgoods were machinery, opticalequipment, medical instruments, andelectrical machinery. Demand for theseproducts has continued to grow amongthe state's largest trading partners.Exports to Canada, Minnesota's largestmarket, have been on the rise for 2 yearsnow. And exports to China, Minnesota'ssecond-largest market, increased by 16percent in the third quarter of 2012.One possible explanation for exportgrowth is the re-shoring taking place.Increases in wages and shipping costshave forced some manufacturers tobring their operations back to theUnited States from China and othercountries. The cost of Chinese labor hasskyrocketed in recent years. In addition,oil now hovers around $100 per barrel,which has enormous implications onsupply chain logistics and costs.Another possible explanation forexport growth is the value of the U.S.dollar, which has been weaker comparedto the currencies in Minnesota's top exportmarkets in recent years. As of December2012, for example, the dollar was roughly3 percent weaker than Canada's dollar and8 percent weaker than Mexico's peso, twocountries that purchase a large share ofMinnesota's goods.Whatever the reasons, exportshave become big business for manysmall manufacturers in Minnesota.ReconRobotics in Edina is one example.The company manufactures micro-robotsystems weighing less than 3 poundsthat are used by military and policeorganizations around the world."We are seeing a significant increasein our exports," said Alan Bignall, CEO."We've come to realize that there's a verylarge market outside North America."ReconRobotics began exportingcasually to a few countries in 2007,just one year after it was founded.Today, the company relies on exportsfor a large part of its sales. It exhibitsat several international trade shows,advertises in targeted media in 20countries, and distributes marketingmaterials in 7 different languages to 30different countries.8 | PRECISION MANUFACTURING January | February 2013

COVER STORYWindRider, another Minnesotamanufacturer also is seeing a largeincrease in its exports, offsetting whatit describes as "modest growth" herein the United States. The Minneapolisbasedcompany makes portable, easyto-usesailboats. The vast majority of itscomponents are manufactured here inMinnesota or somewhere in the UnitedStates, and final assembly takes place atits Minneapolis facility.In 2010, WindRider began exportingto just two countries: Netherlandsand Canada. By 2012, however, it wasexporting to nearly a dozen countries."In the past 2 years, we have addedAustralia, Chile, Thailand, France andAruba. And hopefully soon we will haveshipments going to Brazil and Spain," saidCOO Robert Sanberg. "In the next fewyears, Australia could very well pass upsales in the United States and become ourlargest market."Sanberg attributes the increase inhis company's exports to three factors:currency, quality, and cash flow. "There'sbeen a relative weakness in the U.S. dollarcompared to the Australian and Canadiandollars over the past few years, which hashelped us out. Also, I think 'Made in theUSA' is a big selling point. There's a level ofquality that people expect and demand fromthe United States and they are willing topay a premium to get it. Finally, the Export-Import bank that opened in Minneapolisrecently has helped improve cash flow andreduced some of our risks associated withselling to other countries."The Export-Import Bank of the UnitedStates (Ex-Im Bank) Sanberg is referringto is an independent federal agency thatoffers products to finance nearly every typeand size of U.S. exports to most countrymarkets. It opened a regional office inMinneapolis in July of 2012 specificallyfor Minnesota companies that export.Sanberg said the bank helps his companyregulate overseas transactions by insuringpayment from foreign buyers at a low costand providing those customers with tradecredits or loans with 180-day terms so theydon't have to pay all the cash up front.In addition to smaller manufacturers,exports are increasing among somelocal OEMs. At Polaris, for example,international sales were up 39 percent in2011. Asia Pacific and Latin America arethe company's fastest growing regions.Polaris is now number one in market sharefor off-road vehicles sold outside NorthAmerica and international sales represent16 percent of its overall revenue.Similarly, international sales increasedin 2012 at Medtronic. "Our internationalrevenue grew 11 percent, with emergingmarkets growing 21 percent—a rate Iexpect to continue to grow as our effortsto fully globalize the company take effect,"said CEO Omar Ishrak in a letter toshareholders. Sales in emerging marketsnow make up 10 percent of the company'soverall revenue.Slow or Steady?Of course, the million dollarquestion is whether this export growthwill continue in the months and yearsahead. Despite reaching record numbers,Minnesota's exports actually have beengrowing at or below the rest of thecountry over the past several years.Still, the Minnesota Department ofEmployment and Economic Development(DEED) is pleased with these numbers. "Weare now above pre-recession numbers so it'sreal growth at this stage," said Katie Clark,commissioner of the Minnesota TradeOffice. "During the recession, our exportsdropped significantly. Coming out of therecession, we saw very quick growth. Thatgrowth is beginning to slow partly becausewe're done rebounding from the recession."Whether the slowdown in the paceof exports is perceived or real, Clarkacknowledged that the financial crisisin Europe certainly hasn't helped.Exports to Europe, typically a steadycustomer for Minnesota goods, havedropped significantly, hurting someMinnesota manufacturers.Last September, exports were downabout 10 percent at Kurt Manufacturingfor this reason alone."A lot of the declinewe saw stemmed from the crisis inEurope," said Steve Kane, sales managerfor Kurt's workholding division."Fortunately, October was a bettermonth and Kurt managed to end its fiscalyear with a 4 percent increase in exportsales. Kane said he can't point to a specificreason why export sales increased otherthan that distributors were running lowon inventory and needed to stock up.To combat declining sales to Europe,Kurt is attempting to expand its footprintin China. Until recently, the companyMinnesota ExportsQuick Facts1.2.3.4.5.Manufacturing accounts for 91percent of Minnesota's exports(2011), not including servicesand agricultural commodities.Small businesses comprise89 percent of Minnesota'sexporters and 20 percent ofexport dollars (2009).Exports amount to $800,000 inrevenue for the average smallbusiness in Minnesota.Over the past 3 years, U.S.manufacturers sold $70 billionMORE in manufactured goodsto free trade agreement (FTA)partners than was purchasedfrom them.FTA countries: Australia,Bahrain, Canada, Chile,Colombia, Costa Rica,Dominican Republic, ElSalvador, Guatemala, Honduras,Israel, Jordan, Mexico, Morocco,Nicaragua, Oman, Panama,Peru, Singapore, South Korea.Source: NAMwas exporting very little to that country,mainly to U.S. companies located there.In December of 2011, however, Kurtopened a sales office in Shangai.Regarding Europe, Clark said theMinnesota Trade Office is keeping a closeeye on Germany, which is Minnesota'sfifth largest trading market. Duringthe third quarter of 2012, exports toGermany were up slightly, but were downoverall year to date. "As long as Germanyholds strong, it will help our overallexports because it carries more weightthan other nations," Clark said.Another factor that may be softeningMinnesota's exports is increasedregulatory burdens. At Wilson Tool,exports make up 30 percent of thecompany's sales, but they declined slightlyin 2012 mainly due to this reason."The slight decrease wasn't becausepeople didn't want to buy; it wasbecause of regulations," said Diane[ CONTINUED ]January | February 2013 PRECISION MANUFACTURING | 9

COVER STORYSTEP: Export Assistance for Small BusinessesThe STEP program provides financial and technical assistance to qualifyingMinnesota small businesses with an active interest in exporting productsor services to foreign markets. Participants may be first-time exporters orcompanies that currently are exporting but are interested in expanding intonew international markets.FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLESmall businesses may apply for reimbursement of up to $5,000 for approvedexport-development activities, including:• Participation in trade missions.• Exhibiting at trade shows or industry-specific events.• Translation of marketing materials.• Development of foreign language Web sites.• Gold Key or other business matchmaking services.• Company-specific international sales activities.• Testing and certification (such as CE marking) required to sell products inforeign markets.ELIGIBILITYEligible companies must fit the SBA definition of a small business, based onannual sales or number of employees, and:• Have been in operation for at least 1 year.• Be operating profitably, based on U.S. operations.• Have an understanding of the costs associated with exporting.• Have a strategic plan for exporting.Contact Jennifer Kocs at 651-259-7488 or email jennifer.kocs@state.mn.us formore information.Pooler, logistics coordinator. "Argentinacompanies, for example, are now requiredto have a license to import machineryand tools. This is a sizeable market forus and wasn't an issue before 2008. Nowthese companies have to wait 60 to 90days to obtain a license to buy from us."She went on to say that exports toChina and Europe were down slightly,partly because of the European crisis, butseem to be holding steady. Mexico, onthe other hand, has been doing very well."We've noticed a lot of companies havemoved their companies from overseasback to Mexico," she said.Proceeding with CautionThe Minnesota Trade Office isone resource for small manufacturersapproached by foreign companies. Theagency has a free technical assistancephone line and email address that cananswer everything from whether anoverseas company is legitimate to whathappens if an order gets stuck in customs."There are some risks with exporting,"Clark acknowledged, "which is why youwant to enter it smartly. Every now andthen we get calls from companies thatreceive a questionable email inquiry. Afterworking with both the U.S. CommercialService and the Foreign CommercialService, we've been able to determine thatsome are indeed scams."One suggestion she mentioned formanufacturers is to consider signing up forthe U.S. Commercial Service's Gold KeyProgram, which acts like a matchmakingservice for U.S. companies looking tosell and foreign companies looking tobuy. That way manufacturers will knowthey are doing business with trustworthycompanies right from the start.Planning for GrowthThough a large number of Minnesotabusinesses already are exporting, thereseems to be plenty of room for growth.Though small businesses comprise nearly90 percent of the state's exporters, theyaccount for just 20 percent of exportsales. In fact, the Minneapolis/Saint Paulmetro area is the 14th largest market forexports in the country, but ranks 67th forexport growth—a ranking the MinnesotaTrade Office is hoping to improve overthe next few years."There's a significant opportunityin the metro area to focus on growth,"Clark said.To boost exports among smallbusinesses, the Minnesota Trade Officerecently announced an ambitious initiativeto double the metro area's exports from2012 to 2017. Through a federal grant,it launched the MSP Export Initiative, aplanning group involving MinneapolisMayor R.T. Rybak, Saint Paul Mayor NormColeman, and several other political andbusiness leaders. Over the next year, thisgroup will be exploring which resourcesand programs are needed to supportexports at a local level. Minneapolis/SaintPaul was one of just four metro areas inthe country selected to pilot this work.A recent success of MSP ExportInitiative was the 2012 opening of theEx-Im Bank in Minneapolis. The groupshared the need for such a bank withthe federal government and the federalgovernment responded. Currently, theMSP Export Initiative is working oneverything from branding the MSPregion in other parts of the world toincreasing the number of accessibleexport containers.If the Minnesota Trade Office issuccessful in its efforts to double themetro area's exports by the end of 2014,that would add another $5 billion inrevenue and 114,900 jobs. It also wouldmean a broader, more diverse customerbase for Minnesota companies."One thing we need to remember isthat 95 percent of the world's populationand 75 percent of the world's buyingpower is located outside the United States,"Clark said. "In order to be competitive inthe future, the state as well as individualbusinesses need to continually focus onPMhow to grow exports."MELISSA DEBILZAN is a contributing writer forIntrinXec Management, Inc.

Leader Motorcycle Accessories Revs Up Product LineWITH PARK PRECISION MACHINING INC.Tracey Cramer describes herself as anentrepreneur and avid motorcyclist. Sowhen she purchased a start-up companycalled Leader Motorcycle Accessories in2003, she couldn’t have found a betterfit. Since then she has worked with ParkPrecision Machining Inc. in Coon Rapidsto expand her company’s product linesand create a better riding experience forthousands of bikers across the country.Based in Minnesota, LeaderMotorcycle Accessories is a small,family-owned company that designs andsells accessories for cruiser motorcyclesbuilt by Harley-Davidson, Honda andother brands. Its best selling item is amotorcycle GPS mount, but the companyalso sells motorcycle mounts for phones,satellite radios, drink holders, iPods,clocks and even cameras—all essentialitems for bikers to have at their fingertipswhen they’re out on the open road.When Cramer took over thecompany 9 years ago, she knew a lotabout running a business (she built aprevious business from the ground up)and a lot about motorcycles (she wasriding a motorcycle before she coulddrive a car), but she knew very littleabout engineering and manufacturing.That’s where Park Precision came in.“When I purchased this company, Isensed very quickly which vendors wereworth keeping and which ones were worthdropping,” Cramer said. “Park Precisionwas great at pointing out ways to improvea product design and lower costs. Theyalso were quick to manufacture additionalparts on short notice. The employees bentPark Precision helped design andmanufacture a dual holder that can bemounted at different angles and places on amotorcycle’s handlebars.over backwards and saved my tail quite afew times.”Cramer, mainly responsible fornew product development, said shehas completely changed the company’sproduct line over the last 9 years, thanksin part to Park Precision. Most of herideas for new products come from talkingwith fellow bikers. Other ideas pop intoher head when she’s riding her ownmotorcycle, a 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 900.Several years ago, her customersbegan asking for a dual accessory holder.With minimal knowledge of designand engineering concepts, she sat downwith Park Precision and designed aconcept for a dual holder that can bemounted at different angles and placeson a motorcycle’s handlebars. At othertimes, she has worked with Park Precisionto design and manufacture individualholders for cell phones and clocks. Theseand other accessories can be found andI’m proud of the fact that almost all ofour parts are made here in the UnitedStates, and most of them are made herein Minnesota.- Tracey Cramer, owner, Leader Motorcycle Accessoriespurchased through dealer shops, onlinecatalogs, or the company’s Web site atwww.leadermotorcycle.com.Today, Park Precision machinesabout 80 percent of Leader Motorcycle’sgadget mounts—and continues to providethe same level of customer service andengineering assistance as it did duringLeader Motorcycle’s early days.“I’m proud of the fact that almost allof our parts are made here in the UnitedStates, and most of them are made here inMinnesota,” Cramer said. “We wouldn’tbe able to do that without the expertiseand integrity of vendors like ParkPrecision Machining.”About Park Precision Machining Inc.Park Precision Machining is a fullservicejob shop based in Coon Rapidsthat specializes in prototypes, short-runjobs, and turnkey projects. Like LeaderMotorcycle, it is a small, family-ownedcompany, with just 12 employees. But itslevel of technical expertise is no matchfor its size.“We take a lot of pride in taking thetime to understand a project in orderto save our customers time and moneydown the road,” said Jennifer Worden,office manager. “I don’t think you findthat with a lot of larger companies.”With an average of 20 years ofexperience, Park Precision’s engineersfrequently re-evaluate prints, processes,and parts to improve manufacturability.As a recent example, one customerneeded a batch of left-hand parts anda batch of right-hand parts for itsmachines. Park Precision offered tore-evaluate the manufacturing processso that both batches of parts could bemachined at the same time with just onesetup, saving the customer thousands ofdollars. Another recent example involveda customer that needed prototype parts.Park Precision suggested increasing thelength of the material by a little morethan an inch to make two parts out ofone block, resulting in a 42 percent12 | PRECISION MANUFACTURING January | February 2013PAID SUPPLEMENT

Many of its customerscarry little to no inventory on hand,forcing them to work within short leadtimes. Park Park Precision works withcustomers to streamline the deliveryprocess and avoid supply chain delays.“You can’t judge a book by its cover,”said John Koos, production manager.“We may not be able to offer the lowestprice every time, but we can promisea high level of expertise, quality andcommitment to service.

WHO’S WHOMRG Tool and DieNEXT GENERATION: BUILT ON RELATIONSHIPSby B KyleMembers of the Gramse family at the2012 Manufacturing Awards.Winner of Minnesota Business'2012 Small Manufacturer of the Year,MRG Tool and Die Corp. has beenheadquartered in Faribault, Minn., sinceMike Gramse founded the company in1979. The company is developing its secondgeneration of Gramse leadership, a processthat is proving to be quite successful.Family ValuesGramse family values were forgedinto the fabric of this company and intothe hearts of Mike’s children. “Valuesmatter,” said oldest son Rod Gramse.“We have spent critical time distillingour company’s core values. They are areflection of who we are.”Integrity: We are committed tothe ethical use of our resources,the most important being ourpeople. We always try to do whatis right, regardless of the businessconsequences. Sometimes thatmeans more work; but, by living bythose basics, we ultimately grow ourrelationships and our success.Collaboration: We work together as acompany and we closely partner withour clients to deliver the best solutions.Innovation: We have the creativeexpertise to benefit both thecustomer and the company.Into the BusinessMike and Eva Gramse raised fivechildren, four of whom remain involvedin the business today. Rod, the oldest,started working at MRG at the age of 13,cutting up pallets, mowing the lawn, anddelivering parts. As an older teenager, Rodbegan a more formal internship with thecompany to determine if it would be a fit.He ultimately earned a manufacturingengineering degree from the University ofWisconsin – Stout, and currently is MRG’sdirector of operations.Three of the younger four siblings,Ryan, Russell and Rebecca, also work atMRG in various capacities. Ryan is the onsitecarpenter, building anything that needsto be built. Russell received his Tool and Diedegree from Dakota County Technical, andis a tool and die maker on the shop floor.Rochelle, Chelle to her family, worked inthe family business until her own callingled her away to work with children as aprobation officer. All of the siblings echoRod’s expression of the family’s valuescenteredapproach to running a businessand caring about people.Inspiring PossibilitiesWhat inspires this next generation?“Customers inspire us,” said Rebecca,industrial engineer. “They bring usprojects that are important to them, andwe help them deliver. As a team and as acompany, we have the capability to tacklebig challenges. I love that.”Rod agreed stating,“I see this as morethan a career; I identify myself withMRG. Maybe because I grew up in thisbusiness, but I do know it’s become morethan a job—it’s who I am. I get inspiredby the possibilities, by the variety in ourwork, and by the ideas that get generated.”Inspiration for this team extendsbeyond the business itself, to the greatercommunity. For years, Mike Gramsehas had a strong connection to SouthCentral College (SCC). He is a graduatehimself and continues to support theschool. SCC has provided many currentMRG employees with the basic skills andinterest development to prepare them foron-the-job training provided at MRG.Gramse continues to support workforcedevelopment through his service onadvisory boards, welcoming tour groups,speaking to students, and providingequipment or materials for classroomtraining projects.“This is an exciting career field, onedefinitely worth exploring” Rod enthused.“Manufacturing offers such a wide rangeof opportunities, that—truly—anyonecould find a career here. No matter whereyou go, with manufacturing-relevantskills you can create a career.”Keeping BalanceOutside of work, the next generation ofGramses still enjoy time together. They areclose, they get along well, and all still livein the Faribault area. Fun includes time attheir cabin near Lake Vermillion, time attheir parents' home on nearby Shields Lake,and anything outdoors. “Faribault is a greatcommunity,” said Rebecca. “We have 10lakes within 10 miles. Community activitieskeep us busy. We enjoy fishing, watersports, snowmobiling … what’s not to love?The key for us is to keep a balance betweenwork time and family time. Both mean agreat deal to us.”“We truly are honored to have receivedthis recognition,” said Rod. “We shareit with all of the employees, a very solidgroup of individuals who work hard for thecompany and for their own families. Newcustomers have come from this already,which has boosted the morale further.”The Gramse family truly depends onone another for success: relationshipsworth building upon, one generation atPMa time.B KYLE is the vicepresident of businessdevelopment at the SaintPaul Port Authority in SaintPaul, Minn.

Leadership Insights Introduction:Unsung Achievementby B Kyle, Foreword by Jim Benson“Not only the wealth, but the independence and security of a country, appear to be materially connectedwith the prosperity of manufacturers. Every nation … ought to endeavor to possess within itself all theessentials of a national supply. These comprise the means of subsistence, habitation, clothing and defense.”- Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury, 1791ForewordIt was with great anticipation and excitement that I accepted the invitation to write the foreword to thislandmark series. The companies that make up the Minnesota Precision Manufacturing Association(MPMA)—and Minnesota’s manufacturing community at large—have an unusually rich tradition,currently employ world-class, leading-edge processes, and are in hot pursuit of tomorrow’s breakthroughs.Having worked closely with these companies for over 4 decades, both individually and with the MPMAcollectively, I continue to be impressed with these organizations.Throughout its history, the MPMA and its member companies have embraced the latest technology byinvesting heavily in state-of-the-art hardware, software, and facilities. Such commitment has been a givenin order to lead the industry on a world-wide basis. That said, this series focuses on the human dimensionof precision manufacturing, articulating adventures in the many dimensions of leadership, innovation,organizational excellence, courage, quality beyond reason, exceeding expectations, entrepreneurship, anddriving a company to the head of its field.Learning, learning, always learning, is central to the chapters in this series. Indeed, this is mandated by JeffDavidson, a work-life balance expert, when he reminds us that, “Today, we witness 17 major technologicalbreakthroughs per minute, with an associated 200 services following on their heels." At this rate of changewe can expect about 25,000 new breakthroughs every day! This calls for everyone, both internally andexternally, to integrate as a powerful team of innovators in solving problems, applying new knowledge,and designing preferred futures.Jim Collins, in his book Good to Great, outlines elements of great organizations. In reading the stories ofthe companies in this publication, one sees glimpses that go beyond “good-to-great,” which open the doorto “brilliance.” MPMA’s leadership understands well the never-ending need for forward progress: If oneexperiences success today, the need remains to “reload and be even better tomorrow!”Jim Bensen, MPMA Lifetime MemberPresident Emeritus, Bemidji State UniversityLEADERSHIP INSIGHTS SERIES | INTRODUCTIONJanuary | February 2013 PRECISION MANUFACTURING | 31

Ittruly is with great pleasure that I introduce to you thisLeadership Insights series. A team of us at the MPMAhas been working towards this day since mid-2009, when wefirst voiced the idea for a book on remarkable leadership withinMinnesota’s manufacturing community. I’d like to recognizeand thank the team: Jaime Nolan and Luann Bartley ofIntrinXec Management, Inc., MPMA’s association managementcompany; B Kyle, vice president of business development at theSaint Paul Port Authority, in Saint Paul, Minn.; Dave Kalina,CEO of Dynamic Group in Ramsey, Minn; Kimberly Arrigoni,controller of Haberman Machine in Oakdale, Minn.; and,posthumously, our dear friend Phil Graber, former president ofNTM, Inc., in Andover, Minn., who passed away in 2011.Let us not forget our most important supporters: oursponsors, members of Minnesota’s manufacturing community,all of whom demonstrated their belief in this process throughtheir financial contributions. We honor you and we thank you.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The history of manufacturing in this state is rich, thoughthe stories of its leaders have not commanded the attention theydeserve. Our intent with this series is to chronicle the experienceand wisdom of great leaders from our community—the betterto retain this legacy and use it to reach our next generation.Over the next 24 months, each issue of PrecisionManufacturing will feature an article about one facet ofleadership, explored through interviews with highly respectedluminaries in that particular topic. We will cover organizationalprinciples, sales/marketing/customer service, recruiting andtraining, acquisitions and diversification, succession, and more.To introduce this series, it is a worthwhile exercise to setthe stage with a review of today's manufacturing milieu. Ourhope is that tomorrow’s leaders will read this, and they may notremember the world as we knew it in 2012.Global SnapshotCompetition is on a global scale. The world is nowcharacterized by widespread technical capability, rapidlyexpanding industrial capacity, aging populations in industrialcountries, worldwide stresses on employment, and burgeoningpublic budget deficits.China is on a path of growth and innovation. The WorldBank expects the United States to grow by just 2 percent in 2012.China alone will grow four times faster than that. By 2017, theInternational Monetary Fund predicts the GDP of China willovertake that of the United States. 1 In October, China’s StateCouncil released a circular on the latest 5-year plan for thedevelopment of strategic emerging industries—essentially abusiness plan to realize innovation goals in industries such asenvironmental protection, biotechnology, high-end equipmentmanufacturing, new energy, and new materials.More companies are near sourcing globally. Ta r i ffengineers increasingly are demonstrating that the costadvantage of manufacturing “off shore” is shrinking—rapidly.In many situations, near shoring is a cost advantage.U.S. students continue to trail behind their peers in higherperforming nations. A 2012 report published by HarvardUniversity’s Program on Education Policy and Governancequoted this recent dire warning issued by a task force sponsoredby the Council on Foreign Relations: “The United States’ failureto educate its students leaves them unprepared to compete andthreatens the country’s ability to thrive in a global economy.”The task force further stated that, “the country will not be ableto keep pace—much less lead—globally unless it moves to fixthe problems it has allowed to fester for too long.” 2 Such viewsare well supported by available evidence.The U.S. population is aging. A common characteristicamong the most developed industrial nations, particularlyJapan and some Western European countries, this shift raisesbona fide concerns about the sustainability of economic growthin those regions. 3 The earliest baby boomers (born between1946-1964) have reached retirement age, currently at the rateof 10,000 a day. Today, approximately one in eight Americans isage 65 or older. According to an August 2012 U.S. News report,“By 2030, one in five people will be considered a senior citizen.And the number of baby boomers age 85 and older will expandto an estimated 21 million by 2050.” 4 That will drop the ratio ofworking age citizens supporting those retirees from 5:1 down to3:1. The potential impact of such change cannot be overstated.This “new normal” economy is growing slowly—but nothiring. Manufacturing had a good year in 2012, but businessowners continue to “do more with less.” It has become theirmandate. Investing in automation is much less risky—andless expensive—than investing in people. Couple that with thegrowing skills gap, and we see no end in sight for higher longterm unemployment rates.Deficit spending does not work; balancing trade does.The U.S. government is not alone in continuing to struggle withthis principle. A favorable trade balance can have a very positiveimpact on employment.The national average for a gallon of gas today is $3.39. 5LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS SERIES | INTRODUCTION

Manufacturers are poised for growth. Minnesota’smanufacturing sector continues to be an area of strengthduring the extended economic recovery. After a slump in thesummer, September picked up again such that 2012 will closeon a solid note of growth. According to Enterprise Minnesota’s2012 State of Manufacturing, 82 percent of Minnesota’smanufacturing executives feel confident about the financialfuture of their company, quite consistent with 2011 surveyresults. 8 The challenge will be to find the skilled workers tosupport the growth.The skills gap is growing. A global economy calls for aglobally competitive skilled workforce. And no state has a higherdemand than Minnesota. “But the skill levels of Minnesotansare not keeping pace with the demands of employers,” accordingto the Governor’s 2012 Workforce Development Council. Thiscommittee published the following further statistics: 9Minnesota: Drilling DownIt’s impossible to overstate the importance of manufacturingto Minnesota’s economy. Indeed, the manufacturing sectorcontinues to be its backbone, accounting for 15 percent of all wagesand 13 percent of the jobs. In total, manufacturing representsone in seven jobs and has the largest total payroll of any businesssector, according to Minnesota’s Department of Employment andEconomic Development (DEED) 2012 statistics. 6Minnesota was built by manufacturers. Greatmanufacturing companies were founded here: 3M in 1902,Two Harbors, Minn.; Toro in 1914, and Medtronic in 1949,both in Minneapolis, Minn.; Polaris 1954 and Arctic Cat in1961, Roseau/Thief River Falls, Minn., area. We have over 8,000other examples of tooling companies, fabricators and stampers,precision contract manufacturers, equipment manufacturers,mold shops, foundries, all calling Minnesota home.According to 2012 DEED statistics, 17 Minnesotamanufacturing companies are among the largest in the countryby revenue, including 3M, Toro and Medtronic. That said, mostMinnesota manufacturers choose to remain small, having beenfounded by tradesmen who grew a business out of their love fora craft and, ultimately, passed that love down to their children.Minnesota has seen the development of a critical massof medical device firms. And yet, “as competition grows morefierce nationwide, Minnesota is losing its momentum to otherstates,” according to a 2010 Humphrey Institute report on thiscluster. 7 Steps must be taken and priorities set to preserve andgrow this cluster. The combined efforts of LifeScience Alley andBioBusiness Alliance are leading the way in these efforts.Seventy percent of Minnesota jobs will require someeducation beyond high school by 2018, yet only 40percent of working-age adults in Minnesota hold apostsecondary degree.Nearly two million working-age Minnesotans lack acredential beyond a high school diploma.Furthermore, educational attainment levels are expectedto decline in coming years—an unprecedented trend.Why? Consider a growing demand for higher skills,changing technology, retiring baby boomers, fewer youngpeople entering the manufacturing arena, and a current jobcandidate pool that is—in a word—unprepared. The growingskills gap will constrain Minnesota's economic growth,increase unemployment, and limit opportunities for bothbusinesses and individuals."Our manufacturing economy is very strong," BobKill, Enterprise Minnesota president and CEO, said in a2012 MinnPost interview. But, he cautioned, "We know ofcompanies that have turned away business because they justcan't find the workers." 10Let us prepare for the upcoming introductions to greatleaders by reminding ourselves that, first and foremost, thesecompanies—and their leaders—are an integral part of a largercommunity system. Oliver Sheldon, an early 20th centuryleader well known for his philosophy of management, saw themission, goals, and methods to achieve objectives as firmlyrooted in the needs of society. The concept of the enterpriseas part of the community fundamentally is economic: it hasa social dimension in it that integrates the interests of societyLEADERSHIP INSIGHTS SERIES | INTRODUCTION

as a whole with those of the firm. In Oliver Sheldon’s view, asexpressed in his preamble to his 1923 essay, A Philosophy ofIndustrial Management, a company would not succeed over thelong term without adhering to this basic concept of service tothe broader community.Industry exists to provide the commodities andservices which are necessary for the good life of thecommunity, in whatever volume they are required.These commodities and services must be furnishedat the lowest prices compatible with an adequatestandard of quality, and distributed in such a way asdirectly or indirectly to promote the highest ends of thecommunity. Industrial management, in a broad sense,is the function, practiced by whatever persons or classes,responsible for the direction of industry to the aboveend. It must, therefore be governed by certain principlesinherent in the motive of service to the community.Such principles are—firstly, that the policies, conditions,and methods of industry shall conduce communalwellbeing. It is therefore part of the task of managementto value such policies, conditions, and methods, by anethical measure. 11The upcoming issues will reflect a 10-part series of interviewswith leaders from Minnesota’s manufacturing heritage, suchas Ken Wilson, Rich Pogue, Red Heitkamp, Andy Wells, andKen Schaufelberger, among others. These interviews will covertopics essential to developing and running a strong company,such as organization, marketing, technology and innovation,diversification, and succession planning. The first installmentin our series will introduce the topic, Organization. We beginthis journey with great anticipation.To the leaders of today and tomorrow—we salute you.B KyleContact the MPMA office for the complete bibliography.Manufacturing ImpactManufacturing industries paid $16.4 billion inwages in 2010. The average annual wage was $56,328,or 20 percent higher than the average wage for allindustries ($46,984).Manufacturing is the third largest industry in thestate with 13 percent of all jobs (over 292,000).Each manufacturing job supports another 1.9jobs elsewhere in the economy through supplierpurchases and employee spending. In total,manufacturing accounts for nearly 850,000 jobs or33 percent of all jobs in Minnesota.Across the state, manufacturing accounts for between8 and 34 percent of total employment, dependingupon the region.Wages in manufacturing account for 16 percent ofall wages paid in Minnesota, representing the largesttotal payroll of any business sector in 2012.Computer and electronic product manufacturershave the largest share of employment in Minnesota(16 percent), followed by food manufacturing (15percent) and fabricated metal products (13 percent).Manufacturing contributes $37 billion to the stateeconomy and represents 15 percent of Minnesota’sgross domestic product.About 40 percent of Minnesota's Fortune 500companies in 2012 operate in manufacturing: 3M,Medtronic, General Mills, Land O'Lakes, Mosaic,Hormel Foods, Ecolab, and St. Jude Medical.Manufacturing exports brought $18.4 billion intothe Minnesota economy in 2011.Canada is Minnesota's top manufactured exportmarket at $5.0 billion in sales in 2011, followed byChina and Mexico.Source: Minnesota Trade Office 12Thank you to donors who made this book possible:Agrimson Tool Company, Inc.American Engineering TestingAmerican Machine &Gundrillling Co., Inc.Anderson Automatics, Inc.Benny Machine CompanyBrian RobinsonCarlson Advisors, LLPColumbia Precision Machine Corp.Concept Machine Tool Sales, Inc.Dakota ElectricDave FiedlerDeborah KalinaDynamic GroupEllison Machinery CompanyHaberman Machine, Inc.Hales Machine Tool, Inc.Hegman Machine Tool, Inc.Huot Manufacturing CompanyInternational Precision Machining, Inc.John HuotJosh RalphKurt Manufacturing Company Inc.CliftonLarsonAllen LLPLiesch Associates, IncLubrication Technologies, Inc.Lynn MolineMike ReuterMRG Tool and Die Corp.MultiSource Manufacturing LLCNesstech Concrete MoldsNTM, Inc.On Time Delivery Service, Inc.Production Engineering Corp.Productivity IncrmsRobert Carlson JRRod GramseScott TaylorSaint Paul Port AuthorityState of MinnesotaSuperior Tool & MachiningTed Roberts JrTim SwansonTom DaggettTooling Science, Inc.Toolkraft, Inc.Ultra MachiningUniversity National BankWells Fargo BankWilson Tool International, Inc.Wyoming Machine, Inc.Xcel energyYeager MachineLEADERSHIP INSIGHTS SERIES | INTRODUCTION

MADE IN MINNESOTAJ.W. Hulme Co.ST. PAUL'S FINEST LEATHER ARTISANSby Bill RemesWe all know how difficult the recessionof 2007-2008 has been on so manycompanies. However, J.W. Hulme Co. inSaint Paul, Minn., has taken that adversityand used it to recognize a need and nicheto fill. They reinvented themselves into agrowing and prospering company today.J.W. Hulme Co. specializes in fineleather goods, and has seen an almost 5-foldgrowth in revenue over the past 4 years.Originally founded by John W. Hulme in1905, the company began as a tent andawning maker. By 1917, Hulme was makingtents for American soldiers fighting in theGreat War. Under severe conditions, thetents' durable cotton canvas expanded whenwet, creating a superior barrier against theelements. Every stitch was crucial; it eitherincreased the tent's performance or reducedunnecessary weight and cost.Reinventing the FocusNow the company's focus primarilyis on leather goods. All of their salescome from their own branded items, orthrough their "co-labeling" agreementswith some of the largest brands in theUnited States—specifically BrooksBrothers, Allen Edmonds, and Barneys—only to name a few.Today, every J.W. Hulme bag andaccessory is individually handcraftedin Saint Paul by, as they refer to them,their "artisans." All top-grain leathers aresourced from U.S. tanneries and handcut by Hulme masters using steel dies.Every detail is important and personallyinspected: threads are unbreakable, zippersare fluid, leather edges are painstakinglyhand dyed, and linings are meticulouslymatched and hand sewn.When I met with CEO, Jen Guarino,she told me about their efforts regardingpersonnel towards facilitating their growth.Guarino reported that her industry, acrossthe “cut and sew" market segment, has seena tremendous increase in demand overthe past several years. Many retailers havebeen pursuing an "on-shoring" strategy—J. W. Hulme Co. makes hand-buffed, reinforcedand double stitched bags like the ones above.bringing back products that they buy—andother companies only want to sell productsthat have been made in the USA.Recognizing a NeedGuarino recognized the need at J.W.Hulme for qualified personnel, but notedthat for most companies an "in-house"training program is just too costly. Whatthis market segment needed was a "feedersystem," as she called it. Guarino reachedout and interviewed 24 other companiesin the cut and sew market to identifyothers with a similar need for personneltraining. She discovered a tremendousneed. Sixteen of these companies haveformed the Makers Coalition, along withLifetrack Resources and DunwoodyInstitute, Industry Certificate for Sewingand Production Specialist—a new trainingprogram that will launch at Dunwoodyin January 2013. The coalition received agrant from the Greater Twin Cities UnitedWay, and the course will be 18 to 22 weeksin length, that will culminate with studentsspending 7 to 8 weeks training onsitethroughout 3 companies that have offeredto assist with the training (primarilyproviding their equipment and expertise).The program concludes with eachparticipant doing a 2-week internship.Facilitating GrowthIn order to facilitate their growth,the facility at J.W. Hulme is beingremodeled and expanded. They wereable to secure financial assistance with amatching grant of $190,000 from the Cityof Saint Paul. When planning for theirnew facility, emphasis was put on newequipment, organization, productivityand ergonomics. Some examples include:The company operated in one largeproduction room where all of theirsewing equipment was situated. Theyredesigned their work flow and noware setting up dedicated work cellsfeaturing different products.Currently all their leather is cut byhand and/or by steel rule dies. Onenew piece of equipment they haveordered has a vacuum table thatwill hold the leather, while CNCcontrolled and driven cutting knivesand hole punches quickly convertthese sides into component pieces.They also are considering investingin new "stand-up" sewing machines,which ergonomically are better fortheir workers. Studies have shownthat it is much easier for an operatorto apply motion in the sewingmachine from a standing position.J.W. Hulme has been instrumental ingrowing jobs in Saint Paul, helping foundand develop training programs that willprovide needed training to companiesready to hire, and making only the finestquality leather goods and products that allcan proudly bear the "Made in USA" label.All of the above, along with Guarino'srecognition as the 2012 Executive ofthe Year Award by Minnesota Business,is a recipe for an outstanding "Made inMinnesota" company.PMBILL REMES is director ofsales, membership andadvertising for MPMA.

Bauer Welding & Federal Mogul TP Liners Inc.FIRING UP PRODUCTION WITH PRI ROBOTICSBauer Welding was founded withjust $350 worth of used equipment and450 square feet of space. Over the last 67years, however, it has grown to becomea leading provider of metal tubingfor everything from exhaust tubes tohandlebars to refrigerator coils.Much of the company's recentgrowth can be attributed to investmentsin robotics and automation. In 2005,the company received a unique orderfor metal tubing that would be part ofa fire suppression system in thousandsof Crown Victoria police cars acrossthe country. Essentially, the system wassimilar to a fire extinguisher and wouldbe placed right next to the fuel tank.Integrating AutomationThere was no question this job wouldneed to be automated. There was simplytoo much welding and fabrication involvedto complete each part manually. So theengineers at Bauer Welding turned toPRI Robotics, which had successfullyintegrated a robotic welding cell at Bauera few years prior. They needed a systemthat was robust enough to support thislong-run project, yet flexible enough toaccommodate short-run jobs in the future.The result was a sophisticated,pre-engineered system that included awelder, robotic arm and a turntable withtwo servo-controlled positioners. PRIdesigned and built elaborate weldingfixtures with back purging capability andthen custom programmed the complexthin-wall stainless steel weldment. It wasput to work immediately and allowedBauer Welding to ship about 1,600 partsper week without any major issues. It hasbeen used for other parts as well.Federal Mogul TP LinersMachine Tending Line."The cell we purchased from PRI wasvery transportable and flexible," saidMichael Mueller, welding lead at BauerWelding. "We can pick it up with a forkliftand move it. And we can change jobs onit daily or weekly."Bauer Welding since has purchased athird cell from PRI Robotics in order toreplace an older cell that was purchasedfrom a different company. While this cellalso can be used for other jobs, its mainpurpose is to weld metal tubes for an aftermarketHarley Davidson exhaust system.This cell also has exceeded the company'sexpectations. "It dramatically has improvedthe quality and speed of our welds,"Mueller said. "We've probably increasedour throughput by 50 or 60 percent."Revving up ThroughputFederal Mogul TP Liners Inc. isanother company that attributes muchof its recent growth to robotics andautomation. The company's Lake City,Minnesota, location, which employs 140people, has been making engine cylinderliners for Toyota and Chrysler since 1999.It is set to begin work for General Motorsin the near future.Federal Mogul began workingwith PRI Robotics in 2005 to integratemachine tending robots on its flooras well as in-process inspection ofmachined parts. The first phase ofthe project involved integrating eightFANUC M-16iA robots to eight OkumaLU-400 lathes—dramatically increasingthroughput and productivity. Thesecond phase of the project took placein 2012 and involved adding two smallermachining lines. Each line includedthree robots, two lathes, two inspectionstations and a leak-test system. Theresult was throughput improvement byapproximately 40 percent or 400,000engine cylinder liners per month.Today, Federal Mogul is able to shipout 1.4 million engine cylinder liners permonth and is operating near capacityonce again. In fact, the Lake City locationrecently added 15 more employees tokeep up with additional demand."Normally automating a line likethis would be a year-long project," saidMark Caturia, manufacturing projectengineer at Federal Mogul. "With PRI, wewere able to cut that down to 6 months.They were fantastic to work with. Theydefinitely go the extra mile to make theircustomers happy."About PRI RoboticsPRI Robotics is a robotics integratorbased in Plymouth that specializes inwelding, material handling machine load/unload, dispensing and assembly. As oneof just a few FANUC certified servicingintegrators in Minnesota, the companyhas installed over 350 robots in the upperMidwest, and some as far away as PuertoRico, Mexico and China.

SHOP PROFILEyears of experience designing andbuilding fixtures to provide complete,turn-key solutions for customers.A Candidate for Roboticsand AutomationScott Nelson, president of PRIRobotics, said any company—big orsmall—that is running similar parts ora family parts is a candidate for roboticsand automation. Gone are the days whenan investment in automation woulddisappear with the job it was used for.Today's robots are re-deployable and canbe utilized for a variety of short or longrunjobs in the years ahead."We make it very easy to move yourinvestment over to another machine orload a different part into that machine,"Nelson said. "For a small investment,anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000, youcan swap out end-of-arm tooling andbe able to run a different part using thatsame robot."One PRI Robotics customer, forexample, has a robot with 39 differentgrippers in order to run 39 different partson a machining line. Another customerhas a robot that can tend to six differentmachines. "Helping our customers solvetheir unique manufacturing problems iswhat we do best and with robotics thesolutions are practically endless," he said.Recognizing Cycle Time AnalysisRecognizing cost as a main concern,PRI Robotics can conduct cycle timeanalysis to determine an approximatepayback period for any investment.Often that payback period is less than18 months."One cell we installed in Puerto Ricopaid for itself in 8 months," Nelson said."The longest payback for one of ourcustomers took 2 years. So the robotswe provide return the investment prettyquickly. They also are very robust and lasta long time. We have robots we've installedin 1995 that are still going strong."So what sets PRI Robotics apartfrom other robotics integrators in theTwin Cities?"Robotics and automation is all wedo," Nelson said. "Since we don't sellany machine tools, we can integrate intoalmost any kind of machine or process.We aren't tied to a particular make ofmachine or manufacturer."He said another aspect that sets PRIRobotics apart is an emphasis on superiorcustomer service. "Customers can call oursupport line any time. We try to do alltroubleshooting over the phone before wesend a technician out for a service call."PRI Robotics has been in businesssince 1995. Its senior management hasbeen with the company for 10 years ormore. Nelson took over as president in2012, after Lynn Swanson retired dueto health reasons. However, Swanson isas optimistic as ever about PRI's future."We have an excellent reputation withour customers," he said. "As roboticsbecomes a reality for more and moreshops, they can expect PRI to providethe highest level of technical andcustomer service possible."PMFor more information onPRI Robotics, visitwww.prirobotics.com, orcontact Scott Nelson at763-450-4381 orsnelson@prirobotics.com.Front (left to right): Trent Schwartz, Zach Lovering, Matt Salge.Back (left to right): Mark Jarvis, Scott Nelson, Mace Harris, Rick Gutheridge, Doug Juhl, Lee Stresemann, Erik CarlsonPAID SUPPLEMENTJanuary | February 2013 PRECISION MANUFACTURING | 39

EDUCATOR'S CORNERAdvanced Manufacturing EducationHENNEPIN TECHNICAL COLLEGEby Mike McGeeHennepin Technical College (HTC)has played a critical role in providingskilled workers to the Minnesotamanufacturing sector for over 40 years.Just as manufacturing systems andprocesses have been adapted for newmarkets to remain competitive, werecognize our classrooms and labs mustreflect the changing face of manufacturing.To remain a leading educational provider,we are excited to announce a capitalfunding drive and state legislative bondingrequest to support the construction of anew manufacturing education facility onthe Brooklyn Park campus of HTC.A Strong CommitmentThe proposed Center for AdvancedManufacturing and Engineering (CAME)represents a strong commitment to futureMinnesota students and our manufacturingpartners that HTC intends to be preparedfor the next 40 years. The faculty andadministration understand that “it’s notyour grandfather’s shop” anymore, and thateffective teaching and learning techniquesrequire the same “retooling” to the modern,advanced standards reflected in the hightechbusiness operations of today. Retoolingtoday will prepare HTC for tomorrow anddecades to come.So what is advanced manufacturing?It is the integration of technology-basedsystems and processes in the productionof products (including fit, form, andfunction) to the highest level of qualityand in compliance with industry specificcertification standards. The conceptof design for HTC’s new facility is totake advantage of the latest innovationsin manufacturing and engineeringprocesses to ensure students are readyto become successfully employed inadvanced manufacturing. With ourindustry partners’ help, we will designa 21st century educational and trainingexperience that is innovative, usesadvanced materials and components, andutilizes cutting edge technology-drivenequipment. It is well understood thatparamount to advanced manufacturingis a highly-skilled workforce operatingin lean and continuous improvementcultures. The goal of advancedmanufacturing companies is to continueto strive to be the “best in class,” focusedon high performance, with constantawareness of customer expectations. Weshare this goal and will join, as we havefor 40 years, with public and privatesector partners to achieve best in class asan advanced educational provider.The mission of CAME is to: (1) offerthe best possible education and trainingexperience in advanced manufacturing,design, and materials processing; (2)work hand-in-hand with industrypartners to meet their rapidly evolvingbusiness goals; and (3) to promote andprovide resources for the state’s evolvingworkforce development needs.Strengthening PartnershipsOn June 24, 2011, President Obamaannounced a national effort to investin emerging technologies to createhigh quality manufacturing jobs and toenhance global competitiveness. CAME’sconcept is consistent with PresidentObama’s new initiative. This conceptalso addresses directly the requestsvoiced in the statewide MnSCU listeningsessions conducted in 2012—industryrepresentatives told us they needemployees trained in advanced hightechnology manufacturing practices.CAME will strengthen partnerships withindustry, ensuring students have thelatest skills in design and manufacturingprocesses; thus, reducing costs, improvingquality, and accelerating the productdevelopment necessary to keep Minnesotaglobally competitive.Examples of advanced manufacturingtools and techniques proposed for theCAME facility include:Conscious Raw Material Process —Bringing material development tomarket in the most technologicallyadvanced way to ensure conservativeenergy consumption through theentire process.Design — Computer Aided Design(CAD), Reverse Engineering,Enhanced Prototyping, andSimulations.Planning & Control — ERP, SixSigma, Lean, Kanban, ComputerIntegrated Manufacturing (CIM).Technology — Computer numericallycontrolled (CNC) equipment,robotics, laser, plasma, waterjet, andother automated equipment.Workforce — Focused on highlyskilled workers and supportingcontinuous training (life-longlearning).Customer Satisfaction — Focusedon relationships and awareness ofcustomer needs and expectations.Renew, Recycle, Reuse — Theproduced product will have littleif any waste due to the reuse orrecyclable potential of the product.Opening DoorsTo make sure our industry partnersfeel ownership in this facility, our doorswill be open for designers, manufacturers,equipment suppliers, and their customers.We will support customized trainingand continuing education, conferences,tours, and demonstrations. We also willoffer extraordinary access to the facilityby the public to encourage a greaterunderstanding of manufacturing and theterrific careers available.We invite your advice, ideas, andsupport as we plan and initiate thisproject.

SALES AND MARKETINGIndustrial Internet MarketingINCREASED TRAFFICby Bret OlsethIs your Web site and Internetmarketing program generating traffic andnew leads for your sales team?A successful Web site and Internetmarketing program should function asan effective extension of your sales team.Not only can a company’s Web site serveas a source for product and organizationinformation, it also can extend marketreach and generate sales leads 24/7.A Web site should be an ongoinginvestment that generates better resultswhen you put more time and energy intoit. As you develop and implement anonline marketing strategy, it is importantto understand the type of traffic you aretargeting and the possible methods thatcan be employed to reach these markets.Build a Great Web siteA Web site is the foundation foran online marketing strategy. Like thedevelopment of a part or product, youneed a plan or blueprint for a Web siteand marketing efforts. The blueprintprovides an understanding of howpeople search for products or servicesand how they will use a Web site as aresource.Any marketing done for yourcompany online should be designed tosend traffic back to your Web site andhopefully drive conversions. Whenbuilding a new Web site or reviewing acurrent site’s performance, consider thefollowing elements:Is the site user and search enginefriendly?Is the information useful andrelevant for your target audience?Do all pages have an appropriate callto action (i.e. request for quote forms,contact us, telephone number, etc.)?Without a plan, a Web site is an onlinebrochure and not a sales person to closethe opportunity. If a Web site is preparedfor visitors and has a way to generateleads for the sales team, then you canbegin marketing strategies. There are fourmain types of traffic generators for yourWeb site: direct, search engine, socialmedia, and referral.1. Direct Traffic - Encompasses usersthat access a Web site via a bookmark,an email link, or by directly typinga domain in the address bar. Directtraffic can grow as you are buildingyour brand awareness throughtraditional marketing avenues liketrade shows, direct mail, advertising,or newsletters. Direct traffic alsocan increase with certain socialmarketing strategies. Direct traffic isimportant, but often is a smaller partof an industrial company’s marketingefforts due to budget constraintsand limited brand awareness aroundservices or products.2. Search Engine Traffic - Consists oftwo areas: organic traffic and trafficfrom paid listings. Both types oftraffic can be great for your Web site,but a combined approach is often themost effective. Building your organictraffic generally requires more of along-term approach as it takes intoconsideration Web site usability,content performance, and conversionoptimization. While it can take timeand energy to get top search engineresults, the ROI and long-term effecton your Web site performance makeit worthwhile. With paid listings, youmay be able to achieve immediatevisibility, but there is a higher expenseand limited impact on improving thelong-term outlook for your Web site.3. Social Media Traffic - While it maycause some to cringe, social mediafor the industrial marketplace can bean effective strategy for increasingtraffic to your Web site. “Traditional”social media refers to profiles on siteslike Facebook, Twitter, MySpace,and LinkedIn. For the industrial B2Bmarket, it may center more arounda combination of blogs, forums,LinkedIn profiles, and YouTubechannels. Social media is designedto help build your brand awarenessonline and to present yourself as aresource in the marketplace—anapproach that may increase directand branded search engine traffic.4. Referring Sites - Getting trafficfrom referring Web sites can happennaturally as someone may run acrossyour Web site and link to you. Youalso may receive traffic from variouslocal or industry related organizationsthat have your Web site listed. Anotherway to generate referral traffic wouldbe through some of the traditionalvertical marketing resource Web siteslike a GlobalSpec, ThomasNet, IQS,Openfos, or MFGpages.A Web site and Internet marketingprogram should continue to evolve as themarket changes. As the next generation ofengineers join the workforce, their way oflooking for information will be differentfrom those who have been in the industryfor decades.As you are developing your onlinemarketing approach, be sure to takeadvantage of a variety of tools andresources that can help analyze theeffectiveness of your Web site. Forinstance, analytics on a Web site canmeasure traffic and potential leads aswell as the cost per conversion. Makesure that for each marketing effort youare using, you receive the best return onPMinvestment possible.BRET OLSETH is the ownerof Ecreativeworks inMinneapolis, Minn.

BEST PRACTICESQuality System Audit PreparationMATE PRECISION TOOLby Douglas G. StohrI would like to share my tips andtechniques for Quality System auditpreparation, and also how to addressthat critical moment when a customersends a team of auditors to validate yourquality system. This useful informationcomes from my 25 plus years of qualitysystem experience. Along with theserecommendations, there is no substitutefor a good internal audit team performingregularly scheduled system audits of yourQuality Management System (QMS).With this said, it is equally important tohave documented regularly scheduledleadership reviews of the QMS showingaction and improvement.I am going to cover the followingthree main areas within the scope of(QMS) audits:1. ISO 9000 certification process - basicsteps and must-do’s.2. QMS outside audit preparation -accreditation bodies and customer.3. Auditor interface - tips and mistakesto avoid.Hold action review meetings weeklyuntil all gaps are closed.Tip: Reward action completion withmini celebrations.3. Review all ISO documentation,including quality policy manual,operating procedures, workinstruction where applicable, andquality records (records of activitywhere applicable).Tip: Documents must be revisioncontrolled.4. Contract your accreditation bodyto perform an ISO pre-audit on siteand a review of your Quality Manual.Send your documentation, yourQuality Manual, and Quality Policy toan agency prior to the audit.Tip: This is worth the money, as theyhelp you correct any major and minornonconformance issues prior to theactual audit.5. Schedule the audit and assign yourteam leader to guide the auditor.Post the Quality Policy for allemployees to see or providehandouts of policy.Have easy access to companyprocedures and records.Ensure leadership attends theopening and closing meetings toprovide support and guidance.Set up a room and provide luncheson site—ask ahead of time if theauditor has any food preferences.Ensure leaders sit in on lunches andcommercially socialize with the auditor.The auditor must be ready to clarifyand assist with questions during theauditing process.Keep pace with the auditor andhave help available, perhaps fromyour internal ISO team, to gatherinformation in a timely fashion.Make sure non conformances aredocumented to the standard withISO Certification ProcessAssign a leader and a cross functionalteam. You will want to have the leadertrained as a certified ISO lead auditor,which is a 1-week class. The leader willthen train the team in the standard andaudit protocols. The ISO certificationprocess is a 6-month to 1-year journey,depending on the stringency of thecurrent QMS.The team will then want to follow thebelow steps:1. Review the current QMS andevaluate gaps to ISO requirements.Tip: Perform an informal ISO audit.2. Start actions to address the gapswithin each area—do these in parallel.… there is no substitute for a goodinternal audit team performing regularlyscheduled system audits of your QualityManagement System (QMS).Audit Preparation and Interface Tips:Communicate to employees the dateof the audit and importance.Obtain the audit checklist in advanceor have the ISO Audit Guide at hand.Have the Quality Manual on hand.evidence or lack of proof.

BEST PRACTICESDo not openly argue with theauditor—discuss findings in apositive fashion at pre-wrap-upmeetings. Inquire if you can correctthe error before the audit is complete—assuming it is a minor finding andis easy to correct.Customers recognize a truly robustquality business system and theemployees who manage it.Do not hide or change informationduring an audit.Ensure company leadershipattends all wrap-up meetings andinterface on a path moving forward,implementing improvement actions.During this stage, it is essential todemonstrate to their employees thatmanagement owns the system andits significance.Express to the auditor that youappreciate his help and ideas forimprovements—make him feel a partof your team.After the audit, meet and assignactions and dates. Do not delay; thefaster you respond, the better. Bethorough in your corrective action—do not put a Band-Aid on it.Understand and submit correctiveaction information in the formatthe auditor requires and on therequested deadline dates.Make sure and track that the auditor/agency/customer has received yourcorrective actions and finds themacceptable—do not throw them overthe fence and wait. Track this as acritical part of passing the audit andstaying certified or in compliance.In conclusion, if you treat an auditas a value-add activity, it will help yourcompany perform at a higher qualitylevel in business processes that serve yourcustomer. Customers recognize a trulyrobust quality business system and theemployees who manage it. In the end,“you” are the face of your company. PMDouglas G.
