Many lumberyards still do not have their own wood truss and wall panel manufacturing as part of their offerings to their contractors but are contemplating whether this might be a good investment. There are pros and cons to this type of big investment; if you have been doing any research, you have probably heard some say it is a great investment that gives a very good return and others say that it has been one big horror story and that they wish they had never wasted their time. Well, both versions are very true, and to a guy like me who makes a living giving advice on improving net profit for truss and wall panel component manufacturing, the reasons for this are clear. Highlights:
2005 Alpine AutoMill SC Saw Five-blade, servo-controlled computerized saw, sets up in 2 to 19 seconds and downloads from a network or by using a touch screen for ease of operation. Five-head automated component saw works in both automated (downloading files) and semi-automated control via touch-screen input. It has 23 axes of automated movement, enhanced diagnostics, auto management reporting. The SC cuts from 13" to 20' long material in size range from 2x3 through 2x12, and includes [4] 18" and [1] 32" blades with air brakes, yellow outfeed skatewheel conveyors and pc, carriage and cabinet compressed air connections (for cooling & dust buildup prevention). Installed and operational. 480v/60Hz/3Ph power. Price: $89,990 Condition: Good Location: TX

•
When sales exceed $5 million per year, this normally provides a 10% to 12% net profit per sales dollar in most regions.
•
There is also the added benefit of supplying the company’s own products to their sales offerings.
•
Lumberyards tend to let bad component manufacturing operations continue within their companies at a singledigit net profit or breakeven.
•
The process of quoting, designing, manufacturing, and delivering has complexity that is error prone when not understood and managed correctly.
•
The other aspect is that retail management versus manufacturing management is not the same type of management.
•
Another critical error many lumberyards repeat is they listen only to advice from plate and equipment vendors and then think they are able to figure everything else by themselves.
