Layman's Lumbe MI6 JUNE MARKET I

For 35 years, longer than some of today’s lumber folk have even been alive (holy crap, that’s scary) I have been asked, “What’s the lumber market going to do?” Why is that? I give useful lumber market analyses. As a student of the lumber market, I began to realize that...

The Bi-Weekly Softwood Lumber Market Foreca

“when” the lumber market reverses is more important than “what makes it change direction.”

What is the lumber market going to do? It is going to go up, down and sideways with varying Publi degrees of momentum and volatility. Okay...got it. Why does that happen?Matt Weather,Layman, economy, politics, emotions, memories, supply, demand, repeating habits, and most significantly...

...predictability. Yes, the lumber market is predictable!

May we assume we are seeking compensation for our efforts in the lumber business? And may we assume the more profits we generate, the more we earn? Perfect. MEET MY SECRET AGENT... the lumber industry’s best weapon for generating PROFITS...

Layman's Lumber Guide Lumber Market Intelligence Forecasted Decision Points FDP’s forecast when to build or accumulate inventory (just prior to a rise in lumber prices) or liquidate (just prior to market declines.) How do FDP’s project when lumber market reversals will occur? The secret lies in human behavior that looks to past experiences for guidance...creating cyclical, recurring trends. Why do we repeat and create reliable trends? Because predictability is good for our survival, just like stopping at a red light, sleeping at night, eating regularly, being civil to one another, and locking the doors and windows in our homes.

Wouldn’t it be pretty awesome to know with certainty when the lumber market was going to change direction? Wouldn’t it be quite nifty to anticipate those moves with inventory adjustments up or down causing profits and compensations soar?

Each year the predictable, repeating lumber market cycles create two major high and two major low reversals. That means, four times each year inventory accumulation and liquidation is advantageous / profitable. There are four other minor reversal points as well.

Con$idence in the Past =Con$idenc

There are three buying strategies that accompany these Forecasted Decision Points (FDP’s). Just Past Time, Just in Time, and Speculative create an assortment of buying strategy combinations depending on weather, finances, personality type, housing fundamentals, economic conditions, and more. Each week Layman’s Lumber Market Intelligence interprets these conditions and creates an appropriate trading strategy. It is your own personal, lumber market analyst and your highest return on investment. Forecasted Decision Points project “when” lumber market reversals are most likely to occur...(with 86% accuracy, +/- one week.)

of both these areas. I was a hands on owner, even to the extent of developing a 28 hour training course in truss fabrication which potential employees had to pass. I lowered our workers comp x-mod to .58 and kept it there. I lead over 200 individuals and knew each one of them but I did have trouble with the names of their wives and children.

I coordinated efforts of every department as if from one customer to another. I read extensively and studied trends in order to develop industry best practices. Customer satisfaction, quality and safety can and must work hand in hand. It is often said, "You can only offer two of the three things customers always want";and you must choose between Price, Quality or Service. I don't believe that is a true statement and the entity which can satisfy all three? ....has everyone else wondering how they do what they do!

I put together production fabrications team which quadrupled production. I created a sawsystem which could handle 5,000 boards /shift with 7-800 set-ups.(on 1 component saw) I helped develop a fully automated functioning quality control devise for roof trusses which is now patented. I could go on and on about the past so, I will say, I overcame huge obstacles and I met with success. But failures followed those successes I am being honest. I think my best ideas will reflect additional lessons learned following such failure. They be the ones which are suited to improve an envirionment where opportunities currently exist for significant bolstered by an awareness we should always strive for improvement. Whatever we are doing now can in whatever aspect of an operation you turn your attention to can be made better..

Safety First!

Adverti$er Distracciones en el Sitio de Trabajo

Algunas distracciones e interrupciones en el sitio de trabajo son inevitables, pero otras – si no están debidamente controladas o reguladas – pueden conducir a lesiones, pérdida de productividad y disminución de la moral de los trabajadores.

Safety Meeting Topics From State Fund CA.

Workplace Distractions

Some workplace distractions and interruptions are unavoidable but others – if not properly controlled or regulated -- could lead to injuries, lost productivity, and a decrease in worker morale.

Work interruptions are a distraction that can result in work errors or accidents. Before addressing or responding to another person, workers should shut down or disengage any work tool, equipment, or processes.

Job training should include instructions not to interrupt others during a critical job phase or process. Instruction manuals and procedural guidebooks should be kept on site to answer frequently asked questions and thereby eliminate the need to interrupt or distract other workers.

External noise from tools, mobile equipment, and processes can be distracting in industrial and construction work environments. In work situations where loud or constant noise is unavoidable, hearing protection devices can eliminate or decrease unwanted and distracting noise. In other work environments even notso-loud sounds can be a distracting annoyance. Constantly ringing phones, conversations, and loud faxes, copiers, and printers can distract workers from their job tasks or -- depending on the level or duration of the noise -- can contribute to workplace stress.

Electronic devices such as cell phones, IPODS, and PDAs can be the source of serious distractions in some work environments. Check with your supervisor to find out if these electronics are allowed where you work. If these devices are approved in your workplace, as a courtesy to your co-workers, make sure you keep your cell phone on a low volume or silent when you work. To maximize work safety and performance, turn email notifications off and disable instant messaging. Don’t answer the phone or emails when you’re in the middle of a task – let it ring to voicemail then check messages later -- preferably on your break time.

In some work environments wearing a headset with low volume music can be relaxing to workers and help them to safely focus on their work. However, wearing headphones on a construction or industrial site can be dangerous if it prevents workers from hearing warning signals, mobile equipment backup alarms, and safety instructions.Walking around while talking on the phone or wearing a headset distracts your attention from safety and could result in a slip or fall or cause you to run into or be struck by something or someone.

Las interrupciones en sus tareas son una distracción que puede resultar en errores o accidentes en el trabajo. Antes de hablarle o contestar a otra persona, el trabajador debe apagar o desconectar cualquier herramienta, equipo o proceso que esté en funcionamiento. La capacitación para el trabajo debe incluir instrucciones de no interrumpir a otros trabajadores durante una fase crítica de la tarea o del proceso. Los manuales de instrucciones y las guías de procedimientos deben tenerse en el sitio de trabajo para contestar preguntas frecuentes y eliminar así la necesidad de interrumpir o distraer a otros trabajadores.

Los ruidos externos, provenientes de herramientas, equipos móviles y procesos, pueden ser una distracción en ambientes de trabajo industrial o de construcción. En situaciones de trabajo en las que los ruidos fuertes o constantes son inevitables, se deben usar dispositivos para la protección de los oídos con el objeto de eliminar o disminuir los ruidos no deseados que pueden causar distracciones. En otros ambientes de trabajo, ciertos ruidos, aunque no muy fuertes, pueden ser una molestia por distracción. Teléfonos que timbran constantemente, conversaciones y máquinas de fax, copiadoras o impresoras ruidosas pueden distraer a los trabajadores de sus tareas de trabajo o — dependiendo del nivel y la duración del ruido — pueden contribuir al estrés en el sitio de trabajo.

Los dispositivos electrónicos, tales como teléfonos celulares, iPods, y PDA pueden ser una fuente importante de distracción en ciertos ambientes de trabajo. Consulte con su supervisor para saber si estos dispositivos electrónicos están permitidos donde usted trabaja. Si dichos dispositivos están permitidos en su sitio de trabajo, como cortesía a sus compañeros de trabajo, asegúrese de que su teléfono celular esté ajustado a bajo volumen o silencioso en el trabajo. Para maximizar la seguridad y rendimiento en el trabajo, apague las notificaciones de correo electrónico e inhabilite los mensajes instantáneos. No conteste el teléfono ni a los correos electrónicos cuando esté efectuando una tarea – deje timbrar el teléfono y que pase a mensaje de voz y revise dichos mensajes más tarde – preferentemente durante un descanso.

En algunos ambientes de trabajo, usar audífonos con música a bajo volumen puede relajar al trabajador y ayudarlo a concentrarse en sus tareas con seguridad. Sin embargo, el uso de audífonos en sitios industriales o de construcción puede ser peligroso si impiden oír señales de advertencia, alarmas de retroceso de equipos móviles e instrucciones de seguridad. Caminar mientras habla por teléfono o usa audífonos puede distraerlo de la seguridad y puede resultar en un resbalón o caída, o ser atropellado por un vehículo o tropezar contra otras personas.

Las distracciones o interrupciones en el trabajo son cosa común, pero su capacitación debe ayudarle a recordar que debe mantener su mente Workplace distractions and interruptions are common, but training enfocada en la tarea que ejecuta. Mencione las distracciones repetidas can help you remember to keep your mind on the task at hand. Speak y/o peligrosas y piense y acepte la responsabilidad de no interrumpir o up about repeated and/or unsafe distractions and think and take distraer a otras personas. responsibility for not interrupting or distracting others.
