The Invisible Edge...Scale Trading

7

Layman’s Lumber Guide creates an Invisible Edge, an Unlevel Advantageous Playing Field. This is accomplished by forecasting reversal highs and lows (Forecasted Decision Points.) Once identified, up to one year in advance, the optimum trading strategy...SCALE TRADING...is implemented. Scale Trading is an Inventory Management (IM) strategy; increasing or decreasing inventory in preparation for approaching market reversals.

There are three IM strategies. Accumulate prior to rising markets, Liquidate prior to falling markets, and Maintain during flat market.

FDP Reversal Lows/Scale-IN/Consumer Inventory Accumulation. This is accomplished by Scale-IN buying..."lumber dealers" et al., buying more than selling (Speculatively). The recommended time period is three weeks... the week before, week of, and week after a Forecasted Decision Point Reversal Low. This protects against an early or late reversal and averages the position at or near the bottom turn. Ideally, the volume purchased should be enough to last two weeks beyond the next FDP Reversal High to eliminate buying at a top...one third each week.

Producer Inventory Accumulation is accomplished by resisting order files prior to FDP Reversal Lows.

FDP Reversal High/Scale-OUT/Consumer Inventory Liquidation. This is accomplished by Scale-OUT Buying...consumers buying less than selling, (Just-In-Time). The recommended time frame is three weeks prior to an FDP Reversal High, being completely out of the market, the week prior, week of and week after the projected FDP Reversal High.

Producer Inventory Liquidation is accomplished by expanding order files prior to FDP Reversal Highs.

Maintaining Inventory is self explanatory.

Layman’s Lumber Guide subscribers trade these Inventory Management, Scale Trading strategies as FDP reversal highs and lows approach. They have an Invisible Edge that builds an Advantageous Unlevel Playing Field.

This week, #35, is an FDP reversal high. We are marching towards the fall FDP low, week #41, which is your best lumber market investment opportunity of the annual cycle. Request current Layman’s Lumber Guide market forecast from matt@ laymansguide.org.

Selling Roof Trusses and Truck Transmissions Website: www.todd-drummond.com Phone: 603-763- 8857 - Email: todd@todd-drummond.com Copyrights © 2013

It looks as though we finally had a respectable year for component sales in the USA this year. Because of this, I am expecting this year’s BCMC trade show in San Antonio, Texas on October 8th to the 10th to have a much better turnout than it has had since the crash. Most vendors are talking about strong sales with many component companies investing in new equipment and expanding their existing manufacturing in some way.

I will have a booth, and I hope to see you at the show. Of course, if you do go, you will be able to recognize me by my big brown leather hat that I always wear at the trade show.

Now, for the odd title of this article: “Selling Roof Trusses and Truck Transmissions.” Let us assume you are having problems with your truck’s transmission and you need to have it replaced. When you take your car to the local mechanic, do they not tell you the hourly rate for service and that any parts needed to fix your auto is extra? The hourly charge they are billing you is to cover their operating expenses and create a net profit. The cost of the part they are replacing has no bearing on how much the hourly rate is. The cost of the part is an add-on expense you are charged on top of the established hourly rate. Now, what does this have to do with roof truss sales? Bear with me, and keep reading, please.

If you were not selling manufactured components, how would you maximize your gross profit for your manufacturing facility? It is quite simple, really. You would rent or lease your facility at the maximum dollar rate per time period. It would be a natural idea to lease at the maximum dollar rate the market would allow, whether on a monthly, weekly, daily, or even per-hour basis. What they are using your facility for and the cost of materials they are using to manufacture their products is irrelevant to you. You want the most you can possibly get based on market conditions for the agreed time the lessee uses your facility. Now, when you sell a component project to your customers, how is this so different from leasing your manufacturing facility? When you manufacture a customer’s project, it is using your facility’s hourly and daily time periods.

Most component manufacturers establish the selling price based on the cost of material plus labor cost, and then use some type of multiplier for establishing the total sales price. Material costs of lumber and truss plates are like a new transmission for your truck. What does that mean? Well, you go to your local mechanic and they first establish how long it will take to replace the transmission in your truck, then they add the cost of the new transmission to the bill. They do not use the cost of the transmission, plus the cost of labor, and then mark it up. Why is this? Because the cost of the transmission has nothing to do with how much of the hourly garage time rate the replacement job will consume. Yes, they will mark up the cost of the new transmission, but the cost of the transmission is a separate line item.

Now you can see how this applies to selling roof trusses. When you use the cost of material in your pricing formula, you are charging your customer less per hour for your facility’s hourly rate when the material cost drops. Using material cost to establish the margin rate skews the hourly rate up and down depending on the market cost of material. By using a cost markup, any time lumber cost drops, you are giving yourself an hourly pay cut for your company. Now, what can you do to provide a consistent baseline to establish your gross margin markup for each project?

Drummond’s pricing method for proper margin rate per time period: Material + Labor Cost + (Dollar Rate * Expected Hours) = Sales Price

Results of using this pricing formula: Higher margin dollars per hour projects than prior sales. Why is this? Watching the gross-margin dollar rate per estimated hour will allow you to recognize the high and low margin dollar-per-hour projects at a glance. You will have a much better understanding of which orders really are worth the effort and which ones you will pass on to your competition.

You will know at a glance how much you really will be earning on an hourly basis, so in essence you are giving your company an hourly raise to do business. All of this will lead to greater net profit at the end of the year.

August Lumber Market Analysis

By Keta Kosman Publisher, Madison's Lumber Reporter

August 28, 2013

To the astonishment of all, an actual two-tiered market developed in the first week of August for lumber buyers and sellers. Traders reported that secondary suppliers (reloads, stocking wholesalers, retail yards) were undercutting producer prices, at the sawmills, by $5 mfbm. Perhaps the lumber market will indeed return to more familiar ground as demand recovers and supply becomes more stable!

The regular seasonal slowdown of lumber buying and selling manifested in August, however prices remained generally firm. Consistent volumes were moved as well, providing confidence to traders that when the real seasonal down-time comes, in autumn, solid wood prices might not soften as starkly as in some recent years.

Looking Backwards is OK but not if you want to know where you are going!

Subscribe to Madison’s for weekly market analysis and forecasting.

Field inventories remained weak compared to 2004 levels, but there was obviously enough wood available through the supply chain to In western Canada, exporters provide negotiating room for buyers and sellers. Prices on most lumber hit with the 10 per cent softwood and panel commodities improved through July, and at the beginning of lumber tax on shipments headed www.madisonsreport.com August sawmills reported order files out as far as October on some items. to the US starting August 1 While epic wildfires burst to life in various parts of the US west in shifted their focus to Canadian and overseas selling.

MADISON'S LUMBER REPORTER KEY PRICES WEEK OF 08/23

As more players openly acknowledge improving sales volumes, supply and demand are coming into better balance. Wholesalers and end-users are losing their terror of overstocking on wood then getting mashed with high replacement costs in the future. The fear that lumber and panel commodities could experience serious drops in value seems to be evaporating now that the difficult lessons of the epic US home building downturn are behind us.

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.

Safety Meeting Topics From State Fund CA.

Noise - Hear Today Gone Tomorrow Most workers take good hearing for granted. Hearing loss can happen so gradually that it can go unnoticed until it’s too late. Then, even a hearing aid may not help. Some assume hearing loss is the unavoidable result of getting older, yet most hearing loss is due to noise over a lifetime. While loss of hearing may result from a single exposure to a noise or explosion, such traumatic losses are rare. Most cases of hearing loss begin gradually in frequencies slightly above that of human speech and then subtly spread to lower and higher frequencies. Hearing loss can disrupt job performance, cause stressrelated problems, increased heart rate, fatigue, irritability, tension and lead to unnecessary accidents or injuries on the job.

The workplace can be very noisy.

Both the amount of noise and the duration of exposure determine the ability to damage hearing. Workers may be exposed to noise from many sources: equipment, vehicles, or tools, to name a few. Any of these things can damage hearing when exposure accumulates over extended periods of time. How can you tell if work is too loud and may be causing hearing damage? It’s too loud if: •

You have to raise your voice to be heard.

•

You can’t hear someone less than two feet away without shouting.

Adverti$er Hoy Puede que Oiga, pero Mañana No

La mayoría de los trabajadores presuponen que tienen buena audición. Pero la pérdida de la audición puede ocurrir de manera tan gradual que a menudo éstos no se dan cuenta hasta que es demasiado tarde, cuando ya no es posible solucionar el problema ni siquiera usando audífonos. Algunos piensan que la sordera es el resultado inevitable de la vejez, aun cuando la mayoría de los casos de pérdida de la audición se debe a la exposición continua a ruidos, y no al pasar de los años. Si bien la pérdida de la audición puede ser el resultado de una sola exposición a un ruido o explosión, este tipo de traumatismo es poco frecuente. La mayoría de los casos de pérdida de la audición comienza gradualmente, afectando la gama de frecuencias ligeramente superiores a las de la voz humana, y más tarde expandiéndose a las frecuencias por encima y por debajo de la mencionada gama. La pérdida de la audición puede afectar el rendimiento del trabajo, ocasionar problemas relacionados con estrés, aumentar el ritmo cardíaco y causar fatiga, irritabilidad y tensión, los cuales conducen a accidentes y lesiones innecesarias en el trabajo.

En ciertos casos, el lugar de trabajo es muy ruidoso. Tanto la cantidad de ruido como la duración de la exposición determinan la probabilidad de las lesiones auditivas. Los trabajadores pueden estar expuestos a ruidos provenientes de muy diversas fuentes, como por ejemplo, equipos, vehículos y herramientas. Cualquiera de estas fuentes de ruido puede afectar la audición si la exposición se acumula sobre largos períodos. ¿Cómo se puede determinar si el ruido en el trabajo es demasiado intenso y puede ocasionar lesiones auditivas? El ruido es demasiado intenso si: •

Usted tiene que subir el tono de voz para que lo oigan.

•

No puede escuchar a alguien que habla a menos de 2 pies (60 cm) de distancia a un tono de voz normal.

•
