too many tooling companies in our shop | |
We have too many tooling companies working in our shop. We are a mid sized production shop that runs many of the same jobs over and over again. Our main problem is lack of leadership. It seems there are no rules as to who can come walking in our shop and sell one of our programmers or setup men or supervisors a tool. It's a real mess. I guess what I would like to know is how your shop handles tooling companies competition. Alot of our problem is everyone has their favorite sales man who took them out to lunch or got them this or that free. I'm the new CAM programmer now and this is getting to be a pain in the butt. It's wasting time when each sales man wants to show how their tool can beat the other guys. Another thing about the lunch and free bees, even though I've been guilty of going to lunch with our sandvic guy, I'm starting to think this kind of stuff is not good for our shop. I need to try and change things. |
