March 1st, 2014 #07176 PAGE #3

“An association of manufacturers actively engaged in the production of metal connector plates for the wood truss industry, and individuals or firms engaged in related activities, the Truss Plate Institute was organized in 1961 for the purpose of maintaining the wood truss industry on a sound engineering basis. To accomplish its purpose, the Institute establishes methods of design and construction for wood trusses using metal connector plates, supports and disseminates test and research Stan Sias - National Manager data, assist in the development of proper building Plated Truss Industry at Simpson Strong-Tie code regulations, recommends quality control standards, and distributes information on the use of metal-plate-connected wood trusses in the interest of public safety.” (Taken from the Foreword to ANSI/TPI 1-2007) “In the interest of public safety”, that is why we have standards. It is in the interest of public safety that when we assign responsibilities to a particular party, they have some way of knowing what they are, or are not, responsible for. They can also, by contract or agreement, revise the responsibilities as stated in a Standard, so long as all affected parties agree.

In 2014, the Truss Plate Institute, in accordance with recognized consensus procedures promulgated by the American National Standards Institute, will publish ANSI/TPI 1-2014. While we wait for that to transpire, it cannot hurt to look deeper at the current Standard, ANSI/TPI 1-2007, when it comes to Design Responsibilities. TPI 1-2007 is referenced in the IBC-2009 and 2012, and many jurisdictions have now adopted one or the other of these Building Code Standards.

An outstanding resource on the Design Responsibilities as defined by ANSI/TPI 1-2007 (outside of the Standard and it’s related Commentary available from TPI, www.tpinst.org ) is an article written by Professors Frank Woeste, P.E., Ph.D. and Don Bender, P.E., Ph.D., that appeared in the August 2009 issue of STRUCTURE Magazine (Structure is a joint publication of NCSEA, CASE & SEI). In the article, which can be accessed (see below for link to the pdf), Woeste and Bender encourage the readers, be they architects, engineers, students, building officials, plan reviewers or municipalities,” to carefully review all sections of Chapter 2”, Design Responsibilities, “as the code enforcement community can help educate and enforce applicable provisions of their codes and the referenced MPC truss standard.”

The authors go on to review how the 2007 Standard “differentiates between cases involving MPC truss applications where the building code and other legal requirements required the work of an RDP verses cases when an RDP was not mandated by the building code and other legal requirements. The format of the new 2007 standard has two sections that define responsibilities when an RDP is mandated (Section 2.3) and when an RDP is not mandated (Section 2.4). This distinction is valuable because, in some past construction cases, all of the necessary steps for a successful truss design and installation were not executed by all parties involved.” They could have added that ‘in the interest of public safety’ was severely diluted or ignored all together.

The STRUCTURE article is a good read, and it will leave you wanting to know exactly what is stated in ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Chapter 2. It should, as the very future of your component manufacturing operation could depend on it.

Linear Saw Time Study Spreadsheet for Productivity Testimonial of Consultation Services

Over the years United Truss (a subsidiary of United Lumber) has done an outstanding job of providing our customers with quality trusses for their building needs. We reached a point, though, where our manual practices were restricting our capacity to not only serve existing clients, but also limited our ability to serve or target new customers. So in the midst of automating our plant and updating our production/design practices we chose to contact Todd.

Innisfil, ON Canada Were we ever glad we made the leap to request Todd’s consultation services. Todd’s consultation encompassed time and motion studies, best practices, the theory and practical components of lean manufacturing, which then enabled us to go back to the drawing board in terms of our pricing model. For years we had been pricing our products without actually and properly tracking our actual costs. Todd’s teachings showed that we could and should incorporate proper costing fundamentals into our model, and the icing was he showed us how to do this.

Without a doubt we made the right decision to hire Todd Drummond, and once fully implemented, we have no doubt that United Truss will reach heights we had never thought possible under our old regime. Our entire staff, encompassing our production and design staff as well, were both impressed and thankful for the ideas and instructions that Todd brought to the table.

Thanks Todd

Website: www.todd-drummond.com - Phone: (USA) 603-763-8857 Email: todd@todd-drummond.com Copyrights Š 2014 Any time you think about investing for productivity gains, more often than not, the first thing you think about is investing in new equipment. It always comes back to return on investment (ROI). The decision comes down to, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How much money do I have to spend in order to gain greater profits?â&#x20AC;? All too often we think we can see this clearly and make the decision regarding a major expense of equipment straightforwardly and without much risk.

Yet as a professional business consultant for the wood component industry, I am told much too often, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todd, we invested in such-and-such and did not get the bump in production we were led to believe would happen. Could you help us get the kind of productivity that we were promised?â&#x20AC;? My response is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well yes, if you are willing to invest in training and change your methods, you may actually see immediate results that actually reflect what you were promised.â&#x20AC;? (Quantified statement depending on what was promised to them.)

Spending money on expensive equipment is actually the easy part of the decision equation; investing in training and changing your methods is actually the harder part. Let us look at ROI for all types of training.

Assume the followingâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;˘ Average gross margin (GM) percentage per sales dollar = 30% â&#x20AC;˘ Salesperson sales per year is approximately $3 million = $900,000 GM/Year â&#x20AC;˘ Designer output per year is approximately $1 million (custom designs) = $300,000 GM/Year â&#x20AC;˘ Truss assemblers (builders) build team or a wall panel framing crew output per year is approximately $1 million = $300,000 GM/Year â&#x20AC;˘ Automated component saw output per year is approximately $4 million = $1.2 million GM/Year (Note: Use your own existing sales numbers and productivity to estimate your actual GM per hour rate) The purpose of the GM per year is to understand your true rate of return for any type of productivity gain. For example, let us assume you gain just a 5% increase for a designer or the truss or wall framing build teams. Simply multiple the $300,000 GM they earn by 5% for a result of $15,000 GM dollars. A simple 5% gain in productivity is really a big deal for any group. For the salesperson, a 5% gain is equal to $45,000 in additional GM. Component saw crew gain of 5% is equal to $60,000 GM. If any one of these groups is your constraint (bottleneck), the entire GM gain is being added directly to the net profits!

Okay, now you are saying to yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been doing this for decades; if we could add 5% productivity to any of the departments, we will do it in a heartbeat!â&#x20AC;? Five percent is equal to just 24 minutes per day. Ask yourselves the following questionsâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;˘ Salespeople not selling? The salesperson wastes their time by calling on the phone different departments to find information on delivery, design or other work ordersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; common questions. On average, most salespeople waste an average of 2 hours a day. Think about it: one simple call is normally a 15-minute interruption. A 5% gain is not having to make 2 calls per day to know when a work order is actually going to be delivered to a jobsite or completed in design. Take a survey and ask your salespeople how much time they waste every day not actually performing their primary task of selling. â&#x20AC;˘ Designer not designing? Take a survey of your design departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tasks. How much time is actually spent doing the actual task of layout input and component design? Do you think you might be able to find an extra 24 minutes per day for them to perform their primary task? â&#x20AC;˘ Saw not making sawdust? Take a walk right now into your shop. Listen to the saws. Are they running right at this very moment? Do this four times in a day.

How often do you not hear them running? While standing there listening to them not running, how long do they sit idle before they start again? Do you honestly believe your saws are performing at their maximum output? My time surveys show most saws are running at about 60% efficiency. Do you think we could find an extra 24 minutes of productivity? â&#x20AC;˘ Truss assemblers not actually building trusses? Do the same thing I stated for the saws. Walk into the shop and listen for the hammers for each build table.

How many are actually assembling trusses? How long does it take for them to start assembling trusses from when they stopped? My time studies show most shops are at the 55% efficiency rate of output.

Safety First!

Safety Meeting Topics From State Fund CA.

Safety Is In Your Hands Construction work is hard on the hands. Along with the wear and tear of using tools and handling heavy, sharp-edged or coarse equipment, hands are exposed to weather, chemicals, dirt, solvents, fuels, grease, cutters, etc. While your hands are one of the most used part of the body, they are also the most mistreated. Many injuries to the hands can be prevented if you first think about what you’re asking your hands to do then make sure they’re protected.

Wear proper hand protection Leather gloves can protect your hands in many jobs. They can provide protection when handling rough or abrasive materials and give you better gripping power. They can also protect hands from sharp objects, thorns, and cutting tools. Some gloves are especially designed to protect the hands from solvents, petroleum products, and many agricultural chemicals. To work best, gloves should fit correctly. Overly large gloves can interfere with work or get caught in moving parts, putting your hands in danger.

Hand protection can also include specific creams applied before work to guard against dermatitis causing grease, paint, chemicals, etc. A good hand lotion can soothe and moisten dry or cracked hands after a job.

Keep hands out of harm’s way Recognize the hazards of the job whether working with sharp objects, cutting tools, chemicals, pinch points or rotating equipment.

Follow safety procedures, even if you’ve gotten away with short cuts before. Even though a job may have its own hazards, basic safety principles should always be remembered.

• Think through each job before you do it, then work carefully and deliberately.

• Keep your hands away from rotating equipment and never use your hands to stop rotating parts.

• When lifting a load, check for protrusions, nails, splinters, screws, metal banding, broken glass, etc.

• Watch your fingers and hands when lowering heavy loads; they could get pinched.

• Keep your hands away from loads being moved mechanicaly.

• Never use you fingers to test the temperature of gases, liquids or machinery.

• If you do injure your hand, get prompt treatment and report it to your supervisor.

Your hands are like finely crafted tools of amazing strength and dexterity. They are your most valuable tools. Protect them and keep them safe.

Adverti$er La seguridad está en sus manos

El trabajo construction causa un impacto tremendo en las manos. Además del desgaste y deterioro por el uso de herramientas y la manipulación de equipo pesado, filoso o áspero, las manos están expuestas a la intemperie, a productos químicos, suciedad, solventes, combustibles, grasa, cortadoras, etc. No obstante que sus manos quizá sean las partes del cuerpo más frecuentemente utilizadas, también son las más maltratadas. Se pueden prevenir muchas lesiones de las manos si primero se piensa en lo que se requerirá que ellas hagan y entonces asegurarse de proporcionales la protección apropiada.

Use protección manual apropiada Los guantes de piel pueden proteger sus manos en muchos trabajos. Pueden proporcionar protección al manipular materiales ásperos o abrasivos y le brindan mayor poder de sujeción.

También pueden proteger las manos contra objetos puntiagudos, espinas y herramientas de corte.

Algunos guantes tienen diseños especiales para proteger las manos contra los solventes, productos de petróleo y muchos productos agroquímicos. Para mayor eficiencia en el trabajo, los guantes deben ajustarse correctamente. Los guantes demasiado grandes pueden interferir con el trabajo o pueden quedar atrapados en partes en movimiento y poner en peligro las manos.

La protección de las manos también puede incluir cremas específicas que se aplican antes de realizar el trabajo para protegerlas contra grasas, pinturas, productos químicos, etc. que producen dermatitis. Una loción de manos de buena calidad puede suavizar y humectar las manos resecas o agrietadas después del trabajo.

Proteja las manos contra el peligro Reconozca los peligros en el trabajo al manipular objetos puntiagudos, herramientas de corte, productos químicos, puntos de aplastamiento o equipo giratorio. Siga los procedimientos de seguridad, incluso si utilizó procedimientos rápidos sin ningún percance en el pasado. Aunque cada trabajo tiene sus propios peligros, siempre deben recordarse algunos principios básicos de seguridad.

• Estudie detenidamente cada trabajo antes de realizarlo, después trabaje cuidadosamente y deliberadamente.

• Mantenga alejadas las manos de equipos giratorios y nunca use sus manos para detener el movimiento de partes giratorias.

• Al levantar una carga, verifique que no tenga protuberancias, clavos, astillas, tornillos, flejes metálicos, vidrios rotos, etc.

• Cuídese los dedos y las manos al bajar cargas pesadas, ya que podrían quedar atrapados.

• Mantenga las manos alejadas de las cargas que se mueven por medios mecánicos.

• Nunca use los dedos para probar la temperatura de gases, líquidos o maquinaria.

• Si se lesiona una mano, obtenga tratamiento oportuno e infórmelo a su supervisor.

Sus manos son herramientas finamente diseñadas con increíble fortaleza y habilidad. Ellas son sus herramientas más valiosas. Protéjalas y cuídelas.
