Here again, I could go on-and-on. The point is that without the key elements and concepts of teamwork stated directly above, the key ingredients in the recipe for success (1-7 above) are not all necessarily working as a team and their individual efforts, no matter how determined or passionate, will not result in the desired successes. Teamwork is not a tug-of-war. When personal ambition is placed ahead of organizational objectives, distrust instead of inspiration and individual accomplishment over group effort, the common good…and ultimate goal becomes unfocussed and successes cease. Identifying emerging opportunities is replaced by efforts to build distrust or place blame. Ultimately, the team breaks down because the members are no longer bound by the inspiration and enablement of reaching a higher grander place. Participation flounders due to a lack of group initiative. Apathy replaces empathy, rapport disintegrates and chaos prevails.

Whether it is at a personal level or a much broader public approach, the very best wins are the 6. Good Insurance wins that are for all.

Adverti$er Where to Find Great Ideas to Make Improvements You Saw it in the

September 1st, 2014 #07182 Page #12

I am asked often where I get my ideas and how many of them are my own. Well that in itself makes for a good newsletter. No, I am not going to expound on my great wisdom and stroke my own ego in this newsletter. Instead I am going to give you something that you yourself should take away and apply to your own learning process. I am going to talk about how sometimes I learn from the foolish mistakes I have made, sometimes stumble on ideas, and what I have seen others do. In doing so, I hope you can gain perspective of your own self-awareness.

The most recent foolish mistake I made happened only a few months ago. I have the privilege of learning from the most experienced and knowledgeable people in our industry. Recently, I spoke to a well-known leader in the SBCA—I would mention his name, but I need his permission first. His message to me was simple. He stated, “Todd, before you can sell your services, the client has to trust and know you first. Shut up and just be friendly with everyone and anyone first without trying to push your services. Then when they start inquiring, you can speak about them, but only after they invite you to do so first.” Sounds simple, right?

Be patient, allow the other person to get to know you better, develop a rapport with him/her, and talk about yourself only after they get to know you (Sales 101).

So I thanked him for telling me this and tried to remember and take it to heart. Anyone with any kind of marketing skill should understand such a basic principle of salesmanship. Fast-forward to a recent quarterly SBCA meeting. I am sitting down eating some food and talking with some people I know. Another individual I do not recognize sits with us and is quietly eating and listening. I enquire as to whom he is, and of course I recognize him after he states his name and company.

I ask a few questions about his business and how things are going. The next thing that comes out of my mouth is what I can do for him and his company. Did I not learn anything?! I saw from his body language he was not receiving my sales pitch well. There could be multiple reasons that he may not have wanted to hear about my services right then and there, but it was I who made the foolish mistake of not waiting until invited to do so first. So a lesson for all you new salespeople out there: get to know your customers’ needs and develop a relationship with them first. Allow them to inquire about your services and earn their trust. But for the point about this first lesson is this, actually apply what other experts may be telling you in your own practices.

Part of my services is to help companies resolve and improve their practices and methods for equipment usage and material flow. In fact, this is a big part of what I do for companies, so naturally I have honed my skills to become an expert in this very area. You would think I have seen it all and have a ready-made answer no matter the condition. Well, then you would be mistaken. I had a client with a material flow problem because of the building and land topography. Their solution was causing huge bottlenecks, and my solutions were not very helpful. They were expensive and not a great way to resolve the problem. So in other words, the great guru of the truss industry, referring to myself, was not really being too helpful for this one very big problem. After this consultation was completed, time had passed and I did a few more consultations with other clients. But it was not too long before I walked into the manufacturing area of another consult and saw the exact same type of condition as my other client was suffering from. But they resolved it very cleverly.

The website includes a product explorer which will allow you to search So what did I do? I took pictures and wrote some notes and sent it to for specific equipment from the over 150 new & used products available. my previous client to help them solve their problem. This particular The listings will be comprehensive with great detail, many photos and an issue of learning better ideas, I have always whole-heartily adopted. occasional video. Our goal is to provide the best resource in the industry for So now you know where I get many of my fantastic ideas. I do not spend a few hours with any company, I spend an entire week getting making profitable equipment selections for your company. to know everything they do and how they do it. I always try and take away from each client some little nugget of gold and apply the better practice to the next consultation. This is called continuous improvement, which is at the very heart of lean manufacturing. So the lesson is simple: just because you are the so-called expert, leader, or anyone of many years of experience doesn’t mean you cannot learn from others. Always be open to new ideas from a perspective of no emotional attachment or ownership. Do not get hung up by your own ego. Everything you do, no matter how many years you have been doing it, you should always view everything with 3 things in mind.

Can you improve it by fine-tuning, modify it or completely replace it with something better? Nothing is off limits! (The article continues...)

August 1 to US$350 mfbm on August 22, according to Madison’s Lumber Reporter.

It is usual for home building and renovation in North America to slow after the Labour Day long weekend, with prices at producers and the wholesaler distributor level softening over seasonal highs in early summer. However this year there is pentup demand due to extreme cold weather conditions in supplying regions for large parts of this winter. Residual transportation and supply chain issues tied up shipments until recent months. Wood continued to sell through all this, but delivery was often delayed by approximately six weeks.

At the end of August, order files at Canadian and US sawmills were into mid-September, providing excellent indication of ongoing stable production and sales at least until Canadian Thanksgiving.

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 had 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

Take Care With Compressed Air

To prevent accidental injury when working with compressed air, here are several precautions to follow: • • • • • • • • • • • •

A compressed-air tool operator must wear eye protection and other appropriate personal protective equipment.

Before operating an air hose, examine all connections to make sure they are tight and will not come loose under pressure. A loose air hose can make a dangerous bullwhip.

Check the air hose carefully to make sure it is in good condition before opening the valve to let air into the hose; when the job if finished, turn off the valves on both the tool and the air line.

Hold the nozzle when turning the air on or off.

Before turning on the air pressure, make sure that dirt from machinery will not be blown onto other workers.

Don’t kink the hose to stop the airflow; always turn off the air and the control valve.

Continuously check the condition of a compressed air tool and the air hose for damage or signs of failure.

Never point a compressed air hose nozzle at any part of your body or another person.

Never use compressed air for a practical joke.

Never look into the "business end" of a compressed air tool.

Never use compressed air for cleaning work clothes or machinery.

Keep air hoses out of aisle ways where they can be damaged by traffic or be a tripping hazard.

Compressed air tools are safe and reliable when properly and sensibly used.

•

Antes de usar una manguera de aire, examine todas las conexiones para asegurarse de que estén bien apretadas y que no se aflojaran con la presión. Las mangueras de aire flojas pueden dar latigazos peligrosos.

•

Revise la manguera de aire con detenimiento para asegurarse de que esté en buenas condiciones antes de abrir la válvula y dejar entrar aire en la manguera; al terminar el trabajo, cierre las válvulas de la herramienta y del tubo de aire.

•

Sujete la boquilla al abrir y cerrar el aire.

•

Antes de abrir el aire comprimido, asegœrese de que la suciedad depositada en las máquinas no saldrá despedida en dirección a otros trabajadores.

•

No retuerza la manguera para interrumpir la corriente de aire; cierre siempre el aire en la válvula de control.

•

Revise continuamente la condición de la herramienta de aire comprimido y de la manguera de aire por si tuviera daños o diera muestras de fallos.

•

Nunca apunte la boquilla de una manguera de aire comprimido en dirección a su cuerpo o a otra persona.

•

Nunca use aire comprimido para bromas pesadas.

•

Nunca mire en el interior del extremo de la herramienta de aire comprimido por donde sale el aire.

•

Nunca use aire comprimido para limpiar su uniforme de trabajo ni ninguna máquina.

•

No deje mangueras de aire en pasillos, ya que puedan ser dañadas si se pisan o ser causa de tropiezos.

Las herramientas de aire comprimido son seguras y fiables cuando se usan de modo adecuado y sensato.
