Why does it seem that our industry association is an island, far away from any other groups promoting the use of wood framing in today’s markets?

Stan Sias - National Manager Plated Truss Industry at Simpson Strong-Tie

This is a great question, but it probably leads to more questions than it does answers. On the association front, we are told that we (the component manufacturing industry) are the center of the universe. For some, that may make you feel good. For me it raises questions. First question: Really?

Perhaps we need to think a bit smaller and see if as a first step we could muster the gravitational force to attract some of our wood promoting brethren to join with us…or us with them…on more of an atomic level. Not atomic as in The Bomb, but atomic as in the smallest distinct unit of matter. As we know, atoms are the foundation of chemistry. They are the basis for everything in the Universe. All matter is composed of atoms and atoms form compounds that help the biological world survive. Let’s all try and remember back to our primary school days for just a minute (I know, this is going to hurt your head.)

As any of you that know me clearly know, I am not a nuclear chemists or physicists. What I do know is that matter matters! Forming compounds that work together or getting other particles to work together really does matter. We as an organization cannot survive being an island or the negative neutron constantly repelling. There are many groups and individuals that we should gravitate to, and work alongside with, to fulfil our stated mission. Science is based on the atom because it is the smallest distinct unit of matter. Success as a trade association depends on working closely together with other trade associations, industry groups and partners.

Individually, and as companies, we can and do work with our local HBAs, contractor groups, building and fire officials and the specifying community. It is true that our long term interest and goals are not always perfectly 100% aligned. That does not mean that they should be the repelled. Basic chemistry tells us that a bond between atoms can form if it is energetically more favorable for the atoms to stick together than staying apart. Relationships with our trade partners are always more favorable than the alternative. If we have the energy and desire, and the basic building block of common ground on common issues, we have the ability to attract and build durable matter. That matter will survive the environmental noise or occasional misalignment of goals and will help to build a deeper (sub-atomic) understanding of the relationship as a whole. Just as we don’t throw out the baby with the bath water, we should not turn our collective back on our trade partners just because we don’t get our way 100% of the time. Maybe we really don’t know what we don’t know after all. Maybe they are right sometimes and we’re both right the rest. Let’s not dwell on the negative energy but thrive on the positive.

We can learn from one another by questioning one another and truly listening to those answers.

When we bristle at the very thought of a question being asked, when we look for the negative in every situation or inquiry, we are heading down a very dark and lonely path.

Todd Drummond Consulting, LLC. Give Your Shop Employees and Your Company a Raise Website: www.todd-drummond.com - Phone: (USA) 603-763-8857 Email: todd@todd-drummond.com Copyrights © November 2014

Imagine giving your shop employees a raise and actually making more net profit for your company. It is possible to do this in any truss shop by simply implementing an effective productivity incentive program. In this newsletter, I am going to explain how to do just that.

In addition to profit gains, effective productivity incentive programs have numerous benefits: • Greater productivity output means more sales per day.

• More satisfied long-term employees means less employee turnover, which in turn means fewer mistakes by unskilled workers.

• Better utilization of existing assets will reduce pressure to invest in more equipment to meet current demands.

What defines an effective program and why do so many fail? Effective productivity incentive programs are defined by three key aspects. First, individual employee’s efforts are properly rewarded. If he/she is one of 2 to 4 people in a small group (build table or a saw), that one person has a much bigger impact on the small group than being one in a group of 30, where efforts are easily hidden. When everyone is grouped into one large pool, individual employees realize that there is very little difference in impact between 100% and 70% effort. Second, their individual small group’s productivity can be properly measured with clear realistic goals that can be achieved on a daily basis. In other words, if the type of order changes from a simple large lumber, high quantity, and with only one setup (Pole barn trusses) versus orders with multiple setups and 2x4 chords (complex hip roof), they are still able to achieve the daily incentive payout. Last, but certainly not the least, is the program has to be worthwhile for the employees. A good rule of thumb is an extra 2 to 3 dollars for every hour they achieve the incentive goals. If you are missing any one of these three key aspects in your productivity incentive program, you are wasting your time and money.

Okay, some of you are really excited about paying or receiving the 2 to 3 dollars more every hour for meeting productivity gains. Every industrial engineer is taught that when there is a dollar saved beyond the common output levels, the cost of labor savings should be split 50/50. That means for every 2 dollars in savings, 1 goes to the employees and 1 goes to the company. Please remember that the 2-dollar labor savings would not have been achieved if the employees did not go beyond the standard output levels. You get more productivity, less labor cost, and more profit margin dollars for every order that they achieved the greater output. When properly implemented, the standard gain is about a 42% increase in output. (Source: Case studies from industrial engineering consultants Mitch Fein and Fred Myers published in Motion and Time Study for Lean Manufacturing 2001.)

So how does one implement such a productivity incentive program that was previously defined? Well, first start tracking the individual build and saw groups. You must actually measure how many production units that each small team achieves in their daily shift. You will need to do this by handwritten tracking or invest in software that can count the individual trusses coming off the build tables. You need to know how many individual trusses that were actually completed by the team (for example, 7 of a run of 12 were completed in actual time versus expected time). It is imperative to record at this detailed level. Either record the information by handwritten paperwork (timecards) or by implementing truss shop labor-tracking software that automatically counts each truss at each build table, tracks each employee’s time, and compares everything to the expected time units. Such as software program would be well worth the investment.

After establishing the capability of tracking in detail the expected versus the actual time units, consider multiple payout options. First, decide if it is best for your group to evenly divide the payout among the individuals in each group based only on their logged time or weighted against the individual employee’s hourly pay rate and their logged time, so the higher wage earners would receive a greater share. Second, the payout is based on the labor cost savings or the estimated units versus actual units multiplied by a dollar amount. I recommend setting up a well-defined spreadsheet to calculate the results from the handwritten paperwork, or you could simply click a button on the software that is able to quickly calculate these results.

Don’t forget about all the support personnel in the productivity incentive program. The best way to reward their efforts is to give them a percentage of the incentive payout of the groups they are supporting. Some examples would be the truss stackers not slowing the build teams, the lumber pickers providing the proper lumber at the rate the saws can produce, and the forklift driver moving material for everyone.

Everyone benefits from a properly implemented productivity incentive program. The employee makes more money and has greater satisfaction, while the company benefits from the lower cost of production and can process more sales.

Investigate ALL accidents and injuries; problemas, solucionarlos, mejorar sus programas de seguridad y prevenir the severity determines the extent of the investigation. Handled properly, futuros accidentes. accident investigation helps you look at problems, solve them, improve your safety programs, and prevent future accidents.

Accident investigation should prevent recurrence. Adhering strictly to fact finding in a neutral, non-confrontational manner identifies the true attitudes, behaviors, and other factors that led to the problem.

Analyzing facts and asking a neutral “why” question helps find the root cause of the accident. For example, if employee error caused the accident, dig further to determine why the employee made the error.

La investigación del accidente debe prevenir que éste se repita. La adherencia estricta al hallazgo de los hechos de una manera neutra y sin enfrentamiento identifica las actitudes, los comportamientos y otros factores reales que condujeron al problema. El análisis de los hechos y hacer las preguntas en un “por qué” neutro ayuda a encontrar la raíz del accidente.

Por ejemplo, si el accidente fue causado por error de un empleado, averigüe más a fondo para determinar por qué el empleado cometió el error.

Find the contributing factors to determine the accident’s root cause.

Document the recommended corrective actions, the people assigned to complete them, and a due date for completion.
