It’s football season, and you’ll often hear people talking about ‘the best NFL’ coaches. I searched several lists (e.g. usatoday, espn, foxsports), and while there was a divergence in the specific ranks, there is enormous consistency in the ‘top coaches’ across the polls.

Don Shula and Vince Lombardi are typically ranked either #1 or #2. In Don’s 33 years of coaching, he holds the NFL record for most wins (347).

He too owns the distinction of coaching the NFL’s only perfect season.

Don made a career of turning individuals into a team. He understood acquiring the perfect player is not the only way to win. He developed the skills of players and gave them roles to contribute to the long-term success of the team.

Vince Lombardi only coached for about a decade, yet the Super Bowl trophy is named after him.

During his leadership, the Packers won 5 NFL titles, including 2 Super Bowls. Interestingly, if Vince Lombardi hadn’t become a football coach, he would have become a Catholic priest. He viewed the two vocations similarly, both involving a strong sense of duty, discipline and fatherly leadership. Lombardi never coached a losing season, but he was about more than winning.Traits such as integrity, honor, obedience and loyalty were just as important to Lombardi as succeeding both on and off the field.

Bill Walsh too coached for about a decade. He is best known as the innovator of the West Coast offense, and under his leadership, the 49ers won three Super Bowls to gain acclaim as the NFL’s ‘Team of the 1980s.’ One of Bill’s colleagues commented, “Bill manipulated the draft beautifully.

Everybody missed on Montana, and I asked, “What set you apart with him?” He said, “His feet.

He had the feet of a ballet dancer.” The quarterback throws with his feet. He said, “I don’t want a scrambler. He’s got to have a rhythm back there.”

Bill Belichick is typically the only coach who comes up on all lists and is today still coaching.

With more than a quarter century of coaching under his belt, Belichick and Tom Brady have combined to win more games than any other head coach/quarterback combination since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Belichick’s defensive acumen also has helped New England capture five Super Bowl titles in a 15-season span (with a total of 7 Super Bowl titles in total for Bill.

Everyone learns his or her philosophies from others. Belichick learned how to scrape detail through night after night in the film room under Parcells’ watch. Then, over time, he also took Parcell’s command of the big picture. But he would always push forward on one central concept—an opponent that doesn’t know what’s coming is at an inherent disadvantage before the game even begins.

There are some coaching greats who coached so long ago that we might not recognize their names.

Paul Brown, whose coaching spanned ~3 decades, from 1946-1975, introduced evaluation tools such as film study, intelligence tests and an expansive scouting staff to grade players coming into the NFL. Such advancements helped him lead Cleveland to seven combined NFL and AllAmerican Football League titles.Today, the NFL Coach of theYear Award is named for Paul Brown.

Fast DMS Wins Tr ial Through Interlink E n g i n e e r i n g To U s e MarkForged 3D Printer

Fast DMS team members, including president of the company Roald Dietzman, attended an Advanced Manufacturing Summit in late August.

At the Summit, hosted by Interlink Engineering, 3 attendees were selected as the winners of a free 3D Printer for 2 weeks. Winners would not only have the 3D Printer brought to their location, but also training and all materials required to make parts were provided free of charge.

Scheduled for November 5-7 and 12-13 at Mazak’s North American Headquarters and Manufacturing Campus in Florence, Kentucky, the DISCOVER 2019 technology and education event will feature presentations from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), University of Cincinnati, Lockheed Martin, GE Aviation, Cisco Systems, AMT -The Association for Manufacturing Technology and several others on such industry-critical topics as automation, workforce development, HYBRID Multi-Tasking, digitally connected factories and cybersecurity.

Fast DMS was one of the winners!

Roald says, “Interlink Engineering was very generous to provide us with the MarkedForged printer, which they are the local distributors for.� He continued, “Interlink Engineering also distributes a line of Hewlett Packard printers, called their HP Jet Fusion Printers.�

Announcements & Releases Continued Fast DMS tested the Markforged 3D Carbon Fiber Filament Printer, though the company additionally offers a metal 3D printer. Roald says, “We really appreciated Interlink Engineering’s generosity. They were so knowledgeable about 3D printing, and they donated many hours to our testing experience, from training to the materials they provided.”

Roald is designing a ‘consumer single dose espresso grinder, ideal for professional consumers, or ‘prosumers’ who want the benefits of a commercial quality grinder at a lower price point. Roald says the MarkForged 3D printer was invaluable in his internal product development.

About Fast DMS: Fast DMS is a platform that matches mechanical engineers with manufacturers to get custom parts made fast.

Roald says, “Mechanical engineers submit parts that they need made to Fast DMS. We analyze the parts and get a few quotes from shops whose skillsets perfectly match up. Then, after the engineer OKs the quote, we get the parts made and chase them all the way to your dock.

Each order is hand delivered same day!”

Fast DMS was built because a group of mechanical engineers were sick of wasting time quoting parts and then waiting weeks for them to arrive.

What are the reasons for the perceived‘delays’ in a typical manufacturing cycle? As you probably already know, it isn’t the machine run time.This is by no means the fault of the shops, though. They are simply running A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

their businesses as well as possible with the tools they have. Even still, after speaking with many shops, up to 95% of the time from PO to delivery is not spent on actually working on any aspect of the job.They are waiting for material, tools, machine time, personnel time, and coatings and other subcontract operations.

This is exactly what we want to change! Fast DMS was born to create a different future, where lead-time is as close to machine run-time as possible.

our first million-dollar order in July.”

Regulatory filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Administration show that Wrap Technologies reported revenue of $177,255 and net losses of nearly $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30.

That order is for the company’s new technology called BolaWrap, a law enforcement device that discharges a tether to entangle escaping suspects.

Manufacturing for BolaWrap started in September in the Tempe facility.The remote restraint is designed not only to ensure a safe space between a suspect and an officer, but also to minimize the suspects’ pain. It can wrap around a suspect from 10 to 25 feet away, according to Wrap Technologies’ website.

A year ago, Wrap Technologies was just introducing the concept to the market and developing the product, Smith said. Now, the company serves about 600 customers in 90 countries. Wrap Technologies has received more than 1,200 inquiries from domestic law enforcement offices, Smith said.

“Demand ramped up,” Smith said. “We had to increase orders and production requirements, which is why we needed the new facility in summer. We started producing in September.”

Smith, who joined Wrap Technologies in March, has worked in the Valley for many years through his Taser-Axon connection and other enteprises.

Law Enforcement Tech Company Moves HQ From Las Vegas To East Valley Wrap Technologies Inc. has moved its headquarters from Las Vegas to Tempe.

The publicly traded company is led by president Tom Smith, who was a co-founder of Scottsdale-based law enforcement equipment maker Taser International Inc., now known as Axon Enterprises Inc. After leasing the Tempe facility in June, Wrap Technologies has now fully transitioned into its new location at 1817 W 4th St. Smith said the new space is almost 11 times larger than its former headquarters.

While the former Las Vegas headquarters was 1,500 square feet, the new Tempe location is about 11,000 square feet. This increase in space matches the company’s rapid growth, Smith said.“We went from having virtually no revenue in 2018, to announcing a new facility in 2019,” he said. “We received A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

“We have around 35 people across the country, but the majority of employees are now congregating in our new Tempe headquarters,” he said.

Smith said Wrap has already hired between 15 to 20 people for its new facility, from manufacturing workers, engineers, and marketing and customer service employees.

According to Smith, the company is looking for between 20 and 50 new hires, but the final number of job positions will depend on order flow and the overall economy.

Arizona Surges Ahead In Tech Jobs, Wage Growth, Report Says Tech wages are growing, more STEM grads are staying in the state to work and Arizona has a 40% higher job growth rate in the tech sector than the U.S. overall, according to a new Arizona Technology Council report.

The surging economy has been kind to Arizona’s tech sector as 2,600 tech jobs have been added since the beginning of the year, according to the quarterly industry impact report.

Steve Zylstra, president and CEO of the Arizona Tech Council, said he’s seen precipitous growth in the state’s tech sector over the past five years.

• Since the start of 2019, Arizona added 2,600 technology jobs, bringing the total to 180,158.

• The number of Small Business Innovation Research awards in the state nearly doubled to 75 in 2018 compared to 41 a year earlier.

• In 2018 Arizona tech companies saw venture capital investment of $539 million, nearly double 2017’s $279 million.

• The state has seen a 16% growth in startups and tech companies.

• About 30% of Arizona science, technology, engineering and math post-secondary graduates are staying in the state to work.

•The top five tech sectors by employment and firms are: semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing; aerospace product and par ts manufacturing; telecommunications; data processing, hosting and related services; and computer systems design and related services.

• Arizona’s technology community has seen 5.1% wage growth over the past 12 months, indicating the state’s technology wages are 20% higher than the national average.

For the past two years, the Tech Council has partnered with Portland, Oregon-

“There’s never been a better time, whether it’s startups, expansions or attracting new tech companies,” Zylstra said. “It has never been better than this.”

based eImpact to embed a platform of information into the Tech Council’s website. The tech information is culled from a variety of sources, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Brookings Institute and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The report launched in June 2018 and is available by following this link.

The report’s goal is to keep the community up to date on what’s going on in Arizona’s tech sector, from research investment and patent generation, to company creation and wage trends, Zylstra said.

This Is How Boeing Will Define “Return” For The 737 Max All eyes in commercial aerospace and beyond are on when the Boeing’s 737 Max will return.

But with regulators from different countries potentially signing off at different times, and with airlines still having plenty of work ahead of them to begin flying the planes once they are ungrounded, what exactly will Boeing consider as a return to service?

Will it be approval of the upgrades package? The first passenger-carrying flight by an airline?

According to Boeing spokesman Paul Bergman, the company’s definition for return to service will be when the grounding order is lifted and the planes are cleared for flight by the Federal Aviation Administration.

But that won’t necessarily be the end of the story. While some regulators could sign off at the same time

as the FAA, others could sign off later.

Bergman added that while the fourth quarter remains the company’s target for a return, the timing is up to the FAA and other regulators.

Without being able to predict when each will do so, or when individual airlines will get the Maxes in their fleet back into service, Boeing is using the FAA clearance as the target point in its estimates.

Boeing continues to work on software upgrades and training enhancements it believes will give those regulators the confidence to return the jets to service.

Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg has previously said that the timing of the return could impact production plans on the 737 Max, including a reduction in output or a temporary halt to the program if that return slipped too far past the fourth-quarter target.

SL Fusco Inc. Announces Kennametal Distribution in Arizona About The Kennametal Relationship Eric says, “We are very pleased that Kennametal selected us to represent them here in Arizona. In our Phoenix branch, which has been serving customers for more than 2 decades, we are very focused on cutting tools.” He adds, “The team we assembled, from Regional Manager Jeff Overby to Territory Managers Craig Dieu and Ethan Thompson are very technically competent, and they have a strong background in machining applications, which makes the Kennametal line particularly well suited for the team.”

Just this past April, Industrial Supply company SL Fusco announced their partnership to distribute Kennametal Tools in Arizona.

Though the business venture between Kennametal and SL Fusco in Arizona is new, the 2 entities have enjoyed an excellent relationship for many years, and in fact SL Fusco has been a distributor for Kennametal for more than 2 decades in Southern California.

“We are pleased to be selected by Kennametal as their distributor for Arizona, after a successful partnership in Southern, CA. Going to market with the largest USA based cutting tool manufacturer will provide significant value to our customers in Arizona”, said Jeff Overby, Regional Manager for the company’s Arizona branch.

History of the company SL Fusco, Inc. is a 3rd generation family owned business. Secondino Lorenzo Fusco founded the company in 1941 catering to the stone (e.g. monuments, headstones) industry (hence the name S.L. Fusco).

In 1958, loyal employee Louis Rosin acquired the company after founder Secondino Lorenzo passed away. Louis continued to grow the business and invited his son Jerry to continue the legacy. Over the years, the company’s customer base changed, significantly, where today it is dominated by the aerospace industry, and also includes medical, oil and gas, semiconductor, wood, MRO, composites, automotive, electronics, glass, and stone industries.

During these years, the company continued to expand its capabilities with both new product offerings as well as several acquisitions, and their products include: abrasives, cutting tools, band saw blades, measuring equipment, packaging materials, safety products, amongst other industrial supply products. Their merger with established Mexican distributor, Argo Del Valle, created Argo/Fusco with branches in Mexicali,Tijuana, Guaymas and Nogales.

Today, Jerry and son Eric runs the business, which has more than 90 employees located in the United States alone.

Eric continued, “We were the first authorized distributor for Kennametal in Southern California, and that was close to 2 decades ago.” In fact, Kennametal employed a direct sales model for many years, though today they sell through distribution channels in most major markets.

Jeff says, “We couldn’t have picked or been selected for a better cutting tool line. Kennametal is #1 in the United States both in sales and brand recognition, and we value the fact that their cutting tool products are designed and manufactured in the USA.” Craig adds, “Our customers recognize that Kennametal’s indexable carbide products are a superior choice.”

What Makes SL Fusco Different?

“Our people are a major differentiator”, Eric states proudly.

“More than 50% of our team members have been with us for 10 years or longer”, he adds. Jeff says “We are a growing company and that means that while we have a seasoned team in place, we are bringing in new talent on a regular basis. In our Phoenix office, territory manager Craig Dieu brings 39 years of experience to his customers, with 23 years of tenure at SL Fusco. In contrast, Territory Manager Ethan Thompson joined us months ago, but he brings experience as a machinist, a CNC programmer and as a shop owner.”

SL Fusco to some extent competes with mammoth industrial tool suppliers who offer catalogs inches thick with thousands of product lines. Jeff says, “In the precision machining industry, where we specialize, we offer differentiation with our technical knowledge and programs designed to help our customers to maximize their investments.” He continued, at SL Fusco, every sales representative is responsible for providing documented customer savings. We encourage our customers to take advantage of these opportunities.” If fact, the SL Fusco’s customer documented Cost Savings Program resulted in savings exceeding $1.2 million over the last 12 month period reported.” Craig adds, “if you buy our cutting tools, we can

help program your machine.”

Have you been introduced to SL Fusco’s ‘Focus on Solutions’ program? Jeff says it is designed as an enhancement to the standard customer/supplier relationship, including the following feature options:

• Vendor managed inventory • Supplier Consolidation • Web interface • Consolidated Billing • Automated customized usage and inventory reports Craig says, “Our ‘Focus on Solutions’ program is not limited to specific products, but rather each customer is evaluated and together, both our customers and the SL Fusco team, decide upon the best cost savings opportunities.” As an example, customers who utilize Kennametal’s tool vending machines for their secure storage of tools and supplies have seen a decrease in tooling inventory, often by 50% or more. They have decreased their new tool spending by up to 30%, they have reduced administrative costs, often as much at 90%, and they have also improved product availability and reduced down time.

SL Fusco owns the inventory control equipment utilized by their vendor managed inventory programs. Jeff says, “That means we own the equipment maintenance, database management, customer reporting and stock replenishment. Our goal is to relieve our customers of these tasks, reduce their costs and allow them to focus on their business.”

Novel Kennametal Programs The SL Fusco team is staffed to support their customers, but it is reassuring for customers to know that local and regional experts, who are Kennametal employees, including 2 Applications Engineers and a Project Leader, back up

the SL Fusco team.

Kennametal’s FIRST CHOICE program guarantees immediate availability of their most popular products from their proven platforms. First Choice covers 80% of the tools you use every day, and it offers the same wide selection and high-performing products you’re used to in record time. FIRST CHOICE offers up to 5400 products that are guaranteed to be in stock. This means that orders received before 6pm (EST) are shipped the same day.

Kennametal’s’ NOVO™ app provides the digital power to get information quicker than ever before. The result is the benefit of knowing that you have the right tool to do the job.

It provides users with a method of selecting cutting tools from a tree structure either via a hierarchy or parametric search.

If a customer knows exactly which product they are looking for, a Quick Search can be performed when the user provides either a catalogue number or product description.

The Tool Advisor feature uses a rules based approach to provide cutting tool recommendations based on machining features (e.g. shoulder, pocket, blind hole, etc.) and their requirements (e.g. geometric, material, tolerance, etc.) while considering machining sequences (e.g. single operation, rough then finish, or multistep operations).

Intel on Manufacturing Day: Reinforcing Our Responsibility to Sustainability Manufacturing Day started seven years ago to inspire more young people to become the manufacturers and innovators of the future.

On behalf of Intel, I am happy to join the National Association of Manufacturers in celebration of manufacturing. At Intel, we have long believed that to truly be a leader in manufacturing, we must also advance environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility. For more than two decades, our sustainability practices have enabled us to be more efficient, reduce costs and produce innovative products that create significant value for our customers, investors, employees and community stakeholders.

Our long history of mindful manufacturing started with our A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

co-founder Gordon Moore, who said: “We need to continually improve our manufacturing process, thereby reducing our burden on the environment and becoming an asset to the communities in which we live and work.”

Put simply: Everything we do today needs to harness the power of manufacturing to make a better tomorrow for everyone.

We’ve learned through the past few decades that long-term investing in sustainability spurs innovation that drives down cost and increases savings. For example, our sustainable water management efforts and partnerships with local watersheds have enabled us to save 64 billion gallons of water since 1998, which is enough water to fill nearly 100,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. Today, we return about 80% of water used in our operations to our communities, and we are on track to meet our goal to restore 100% by 2025.

Since 2008, we have been among the largest voluntary corporate purchasers of green power in the U.S. More than twothirds of our global power and 100% of our U.S. and EU operations use green power sources. Recently, the EPA recognized us as a corporate leader for using more than 3.8 billion kWh of green power annually from on-site projects, utility programs and Green-e® certified renewable energy certificates. By proactively investing in energy efficiency projects, we’ve saved hundreds of millions of dollars on utility bills while significantly reducing our impact on the environment.

Sustainable building practices also produce long-term savings while benefiting the environment.We have achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification standards for all new buildings since 2012. Currently, more than 17.4 million square feet of space in 48 buildings have been LEED-certified, roughly the size of 300 football fields.

Our focus on sustainability doesn’t stop with the design and construction of our factories and buildings. Since 2008, we have recycled more than 75% of the total waste generated in our operations, and over the past three years, we’ve increased direct

reuse and recovery of our manufacturing waste by 275%.

We work to reduce the waste we generate – from metal plating to cafeteria leftovers – while increasing the amount reused, recovered and recycled. In 2018, we reached our goal of recycling 90% of our non-hazardous waste while continuing our efforts toward achieving zero hazardous waste to landfills by 2020.

We also partner with our suppliers to reduce environmental impact. Recently, we collaborated with a supplier to develop an innovative way to replace single-use plastic foam-based packaging with an alternative that can be recycled multiple times. During 2018, this new packaging solution reduced significant amounts of carbon dioxide by eliminating nearly 53,000 pounds of dry ice, 5,300 pounds of pallets and 4,000 pounds of cardboard from shipments of materials to Intel.

The safety and well-being of our employees is also critical to responsible manufacturing. We have a long history of advancing a strong safety culture across our operations, through a range of safety programs, awareness campaigns and training resources, all of which extend beyond our own operations.We have robust programs to educate and engage suppliers that support our global manufacturing operations to drive responsible and sustainable practices throughout the supply chain. Just this week, we were recognized in Ethical Corp.’s Responsible Business Awards for our leadership

in s upply c ha in responsibility.

We’re proud to be recognized among the most sustainable companies on the planet, including being named as a sustainability “All Star” by For tune and as one of the World’s Most Reputable Companies for Corporate Responsibility by Forbes.

However, recognition is not what drives us. As a company, Intel is committed to building technology and products that touch the lives of our customers while leaving a positive impact in the many communities around the world we call home. A key part of this impact is our support of young people in our communities through STEM and mentoring activities that will enable them to become the next generation of engineers and innovators in sustainable manufacturing.

It is this generation who will join us to help build the innovative manufacturing practices of the future and inspire us in ways we haven’t yet imagined.

Ann Kelleher is senior vice president and general manager of Manufacturing and Operations at Intel Corporation.

wants to see communities moving to microfactories which use tiny furnaces at selective temperatures to extract valuable resources from e-waste such as hard-drives, CDs, and phone batteries.

The microfactory trend is gaining traction in the fashion and textile industry in particular but is also being utilized in other areas as well, including: GE, for example, is using microfactories in its appliance division. The “First Build” factories will help the company to test products before they are moved to larger-scale production.

Divergent 3D in 2017 raised over $65 million for an automated microfactory in California.

With microfactories making production possible for small businesses and even individuals, these little factories could have a big impact on manufacturing for the future.

U.S. Added 136,000 Jobs in September; Unemployment Rate at 3.5% 136,000 jobs were added in September, the government reported recently. Analysts surveyed by MarketWatch had expected a gain of about 147,000.

The unemployment rate was 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half

century and down from 3.7 percent the month before.

Average hourly earnings were little changed after growing by 0.4 percent in August. The year-over-year gain was 2.9 percent.

The cavalcade of payroll gains continued for the 108th month in September, a counterpoint to anxieties piqued by slowing global growth, declining factory orders and a jittery stock market.

The government’s latest monthly jobs report took on added significance after a week of otherwise disappointing economic news. Manufacturing activity in the United States fell for the second month in a row, while the World Trade Organization predicted that the growth in global trade would slacken significantly. A key measure of activity in the services sector — which accounts for two-thirds of the country’s output — also cooled.

Still, employers kept hiring at a steady if unremarkable pace.

Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at Northern Trust, found the latest report reassuring. “All of us have been on edge a little bit with declines on readings in the service sector, fearing that the trade problems would jump the fence from heavy to lighter industries,” he said.

The report revised job figures for July and August, adding a total of 45,000.

“We’re still on a three-month track of over 150,000 jobs per month and that says to me that the economy is still expanding well,” Mr. Tannenbaum said.

Boeing is investing $20 million in Virgin Galactic, a vertically integ rated human spaceflight company.

The companies will work togeth er t o broaden commercial space access and

“Boeing’s strategic investment facilitates our effort to drive the commercialization of space and broaden consumer access to safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible new forms of transportation,” said Brian Schettler, senior managing director of Boeing HorizonX Ventures. “Our work withVirgin Galactic, and others, will help unlock the future of space travel and high-speed mobility.”

To date,Virgin Galactic has invested $1 billion of capital to build reusable human spaceflight systems designed to enable significantly more people to experience and utilize space. In July, the company announced its intent to become a publicly listed entity via a business combination with Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. The Boeing investment will be in return for new shares in Virgin Galactic and is therefore contingent on the closing of that transaction, which is expected to close in Q4 2019, and A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

any such investment will be in the post-business combination company.

This investment brings together two companies with extensive experience in the space industry. Virgin Galactic is a pioneer of commercial human space flight and is the first and only company to have put humans into space in a vehicle built for commercial service, having built and flown a Mach 3 passenger vehicle. Through its manufacturing and development capabilities, Virgin Galactic can design, build, test, and operate a fleet of advanced aerospace vehicles. Boeing has experience transporting people to orbit and building and operating large structures in that challenging environment.As part of every U.S. manned space program, Boeing serves as NASA’s prime contractor for the International Space Station (ISS) and is preparing the new, reusable, Starliner space capsule for launch to the ISS. “This is the beginning of an important collaboration for the future of air and space travel, which are the natural next steps for our human spaceflight program,” said Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Galactic. “Virgin Galactic and Boeing share a vision of opening access to the world and space, to more people, in safe and environmentally responsible ways.”

Arizona Is Seeing A Boost In Its Manufacturing Sector Arizona’s manufacturing sector is expanding beyond its roots in semiconductors, aerospace. Experts say the state’s business-friendly confines are a big reason for the growth.

Arizona has been home to manufacturers for at least 70 years, dating to when Motorola Inc. first moved to the state. While often overlooked

at the national level for decades, the Valley’s and state’s manufacturing industry have quietly grown as semiconductor firms and aerospace and defense companies continue to expand.

With mainstay manufacturers such as Intel Corp. and Raytheon Co. continuing to hire, along with a growing number of smaller businesses growing or moving to the state, the manufacturing sector has built up a workforce with nearly 180,000 employees, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data for August. That’s a record high as industries continue to expand.

Now, the rest of the country is starting to pay attention.“I think one of the benefits that Arizona has is its business climate,” said Steve Zylstra, president and CEO of the Arizona Technology Council. “I think our business climate is one of the main attributes that makes us competitive with other regions of the country.”

The Phoenix Business Journal hosted a manufacturing roundtable Oct. 1 with local leaders to discuss how manufacturing is growing and changing from its origins in high tech and aerospace to become an economic force that goes largely unheralded.

The state’s business climate includes low corporate taxes, one of the best research and development tax credits in the nation, a low cost of living and real estate prices that are not nearly as expensive as other big cities, Zylstra said.

And it’s only getting better, said David Garafano, senior vice president

of manufacturing programs at the Arizona Commerce Authority.“The state government is trying to make manufacturing easier, promoting manufacturing, reducing regulations,” said Garafano, who is also the executive director of Arizona Manufacturing Extension Partnership.

“And when I talked to my peers in other states, they have more and more manufacturers leaving their state.We have more manufacturing moving to Arizona because it’s such a business-friendly place.”

Since the past two governors essentially placed a moratorium on regulation, it has been a boon for manufacturers, Zylstra said.“I think that’s what’s happening in California and one of the reasons a lot of those companies are moving here to Arizona,” he said.

Benchmark Electronics Inc. is held up as a poster child for a manufacturer that picked up and moved to the state in 2017 from Angleton, Texas, where it was founded 40 years ago.

Mike Buseman, executive vice president of global operations for Benchmark, said the now Tempe-based electronics component manufacturer chose the Valley because of the business, tech-friendly setting, access to talent from the local universities and quality of life.

Arizona State University has the biggest engineering program in the country, with 24,000 students enrolled, which helped lure Benchmark.

The state also has other skilled talent graduating from Grand Canyon University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona, meaning there are plenty of new grads to grab for local jobs before those students consider moving out of state.

manufacturers to realistically simulate interactions between workers, robots and machines to prepare for the factories of just five to 10 years from now. The work is supported by a $2.5 million grant by the National Science Foundation’s Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier program, one of 10 new Big Ideas for Future Investment.

Simulating factory settings with new technologies before they are available would help manufacturers assess business success and risks, offset costs, scale efforts for training workers and stay competitive.

The work aligns with Purdue’s Giant Leaps celebration, acknowledging the university’s global advancements made in ar tificial intelligence, algorithms and automation as part of Purdue’s 150th anniversary. This is one of the four themes of the yearlong celebration’s Ideas Festival, designed to showcase Purdue as an intellectual center solving real-world issues.

The simulation platform would involve artificial intelligence and “augmented reality,” which means that objects in the real world are “augmented,” or enhanced, by what a computer helps the user to perceive. The platform will also use the “Internet of Things” to wirelessly connect machines with humans and robots, allowing them to communicate and collaborate with one another.

Tech To Prepare Manufacturers, Workers For The ‘Factory Of The Future’ Today’s manufacturers struggle to keep pace with rapid changes in technology because of the inability to adapt and the new skills required of their workforce.

Purdue University researchers in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Te c h n o l o g y a n d I n d i a n a University will be developing new technologies alongside a platfor m that will allow A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

“Augmented reality and the Internet of Things would allow robots to extend the mind and hands of a worker, so workers could do much more challenging tasks that robots cannot do, like repairing a compressor, with minimal training,” said Karthik Ramani, the project lead and Purdue’s Donald W. Feddersen Professor of Mechanical Engineering.

Simulations could be of an entire factory, warehouse or of a specific new workflow, such as simulating how robots working with humans would pick up packages and deliver them to a conveyor belt.

The simulations would also serve as a way to pre-skill workers for collaborating with the robots that would not only take over routine tasks, but also share work with other robots. A team led by Kylie Peppler, associate professor of learning sciences at IU, will contribute expertise on helping engineering students to become interested and engaged in what factories of the future will involve by developing the skills needed at the same time.

Shimon Nof, Purdue professor of industrial engineering and director of the PRISM Center for Production, Robotics and Integration Software for Manufacturing and Management, and his team will be investigating the various ways that humans could collaborate with robots using this new platfor m. Other Purdue researchers involved in this project include Thomas Redick, associate professor of cognitive psychology, and Alex Quinn, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, who will study how skills and labor are transferred with the system.

“This failure is partly because new technologies have automated a range of tasks previously performed by labor, displacing workers from their jobs, and partly because they have not increased productivity to generate enough demand from other tasks and sectors,” said Daron Acemoglu, the Elizabeth and James Killian Professor of Economics at MIT. Acemoglu’s team, as part of this project, will be researching the labor market implications of augmenting humans with robotics.

“The hope is that a new generation of tec hnolog ies, powered by artificial intelligence and augmented reality, can both generate greater productivity growth and complement rather than replace workers,” he said.

Flying Cars? Boeing, Porsche Are Talking About Them The Boeing Co. has par tnered w i t h Po r s c h e to study the potential for flying luxury sports cars.

Boeing and the automaker said that they have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaboratively explore “premium personal urban air mobility vehicles” that includes the creation of an international team between the two companies on the project.

“This collaboration builds on our efforts to develop a safe and efficient new mobility ecosystem, and provides an opportunity to investigate the development of a premium urban air mobility vehicle with a leading automotive brand,” Steve Nordlund, vice president and general manager of Boeing’ forward-looking NeXt organization said in a news release. “Porsche and Boeing together bring precision engineering, style, and innovation to accelerate urban air mobility worldwide.”

While there remains some uncertainty in the aerospace industry as to just how big urban air mobility will become and how fast it will get there, the press release cites a 2018 study by Porsche that estimates the segment to advance more rapidly after 2025.

The companies said that they, along with Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences, are also developing a concept for a fully electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle that they intend to prototype.

Aerostar Aerospace + Warmelin Precision Products 2 DIVISIONS • 60+ PRECISION CNC MACHINES

“Where can you go to order 2 new CNC machines and have them delivered in 3 weeks (or less)?

Where you can get outstanding financing? Where can you go to get machines that are designed and manufactured in the United States? You can only get this from Haas and in Arizona, from Ellison Machinery, our local Haas dealership”, says John Nepley Senior, Vice President of Continuous Improvement for Aerostar Aerospace.

General Manager Jerad Giles and John Nepley just returned from a tour of the Haas manufacturing plant in Oxnard, California. Jerad says, “The tour was absolutely remarkable. We drove around in a golf cart, and it still took nearly 5 hours from start to finish.” Their local Ellison Machinery Sales Engineer, Chris Hansen, accompanied Jerad and John on the tour.

John says, “Gene Haas and the company he has built is nothing short of genius. He remains active on a day-to-day basis in the business he built, and has instilled a philosophy where continuous improvement is in the DNA of all team members. The Haas Parts Depot enables readily available inventory, and this means same day or next day parts to its customers.” He added, “Gene Haas and his team are working to make the Haas VF2 so economical that everyone of their competitors will give up in this space - they simply won’t be able to compete.” Chris adds, “Haas Automation is the largest machine tool manufacturer in North America, building a full line of CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes, rotary tables and 5c indexers.”

Jerad has worked with Chris Hansen for the past 5 years. “The founder of the company, Brandon McDermott, built this business from its inception 20 years ago on the Haas machines, and we’ve retained a strong preference for Haas machines since then. I am partial to a machine tool that is manufactured here in the United States, and Haas machines get better and better every year. Just recently, we were evaluating a Korean made machine versus 2 Haas machines.With the Haas machines, we get the productivity inherent in 2 spindles versus one, and the 2 machines still cost less than the 1 Korean machine.”

John began working with Chris Hansen when the company was purchasing their latest Haas machines, 2 Haas ST-35 lathes.

He says, “Most of the machine tool sales people I have worked with don’t have 1/10th of the knowledge about the machines they sell that Chris does. He can overcome objections with ease because of his in-depth knowledge. He’s even run a machine shop.”

He continued, “On top of that, you trust Chris; you know that he won’t sell you a machine or option you don’t need just to make the sale. Chris really cares about our success, and I feel that I am learning by exposure and experience with Chris.”

The Haas ST Series high-performance turning centers were designed from the ground up to provide setup flexibility, extreme rigidity, and high thermal stability.

The ST-35 is a mid-size big-bore lathe that has a medium footprint, yet provides a generous work envelope. Jerad says the 2 new Haas ST-35 lathes will enable their existing machines to retain set ups for specific jobs while the new machines run new parts. “Reducing set-ups for our higher volume, complex parts will improve our operating efficiencies”, he adds.

HISTORY OF AEROSTAR AEROSPACE Brandon McDermott and his wife launched Aerostar Aerospace in 1999. More than a decade and a half later, in 2015, they sold the business that they had successfully grown to an investment firm. Today, the Aerostar Group, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is comprised of Aerostar Aerospace and Warmelin Precision Products.

With the combined 2 entities, the Aerostar Group is a leadingTier 1.5 manufacturer of precision machined parts and assemblies for the commercial aerospace, defense, power generation and capital equipment markets.

They excel at high quality machining of complex castings, forgings, and hog outs, and they are experienced with materials ranging from but not limited to high heat alloys, precipitated hardened steels, stainless steels, aircraft grade aluminum, and magnesium alloys.

The company has earned a reputation for excellence in the complex machining and integrated assembly industry.

With future sites in development, today Aerostar Group operates in 2 locations: Aerostar Aerospace in Phoenix, Arizona, which is primarily focused on complex, hard metal machining, and Warmelin Precision Products in Hawthorne, California, a center of excellence in complex soft metal machining.

Jerad says, “I joined the company a decade ago when it was run by the founders. It has morphed over the years, and there were challenges inherent with an acquisition, including new team members, a new facility, to name a few.” He continued, “I can honestly say that today we have the best leadership team I have ever worked for.”

Across the 2 divisions, the Aerostar Group has more than 90 CNC machines, 160 team members, and a capital investment infusion of $2 to $3 million annually.The company is both ISO 9001 and AS9100 certified.

With the influx of capital, the Aerostar Group added a dedicated Human Resources department.

Jerad says, “We hired a benchmark firm to help us to become extremely competitive in our wages and benefits, and this has not only helped us to retain our strong employee base but also to grow our expertise. Combined, we have nearly 1000 years of experience in Aerospace manufacturing.” Jerad adds, “We are actively looking for superior machinists to join our team.”

The company runs 2 shifts of 11 hours each on Monday through Thursday, and then a 3rd weekend shift on Friday through Sunday. Jerad says this enables work schedules that the employees enjoy (Monday through Thursday employees have 3 days off each week, and they can also sign up for overtime when it is warranted), and those who want to work only weekends have this option available.

“Everything we’re doing is paying off ”, Jerad says. Last year, our company saw 25% growth year over year, and we are on track for double digit growth in 2019 and 2020.”

A German engineering and tech company and a South Korean solar panel manufacturer have each invested at least $100 million in Phoenix-based Nikola Motor Co., which is in the midst of a $1 billion funding round.

Bosch and Hanwha are two strategic investors from prior funding rounds, together chipping in $230 million to help Nikola’s plan to design and manufacture thousands of hydrogenelectric-powered semi-trucks and hundreds of hydrogen stations.

Nikola CEO Trevor Milton said in an announcement that the investors bring key technology expertise to the table.

“Bosch can help us commercialize very complex vehicle components and Hanwha can provide us with clean energy at hydrogen locations where possible,” Milton said in a statement.

“Everyone wins because together we’re helping make zero emissions a reality. Rather than going at this alone like many startups do, my goal was to build the most powerful network of partners in the world, and I believe we have done a pretty good job at that with CNHI, Bosch, Hanwha and others.”

Salt Lake City-based Nikola Motor Co. CEO Trevor Milton said he searched for a new city to move his company for a year and a half before choosing the Phoenix metro area.

Salt Lake City-based Nikola Motor Co. CEO Trevor Milton said he searched for a new city to move his company for a year and a half before choosing the Phoenix metro area.

Robert Bosch GmbH, or Bosch, is a German engineering and tech company whose founder Robert Bosch invented the spark plug for vehicle engines.

Bosch has partnered with Nikola to develop its heavy-duty vehicle fuel cell system and battery technology. Bosch has a commitment to the development of hydrogen technology and hydrogen infrastructure, according to Nikola.

Hanwha Group is a South Korean business conglomerate with diversified holdings that include its original business of explosives, to retail and financial services.

Hanwha is also a solar panel manufacturer partnering with Nikola on obtaining clean energy for its hydrogen fueling network.

Hanwha is Nikola’s exclusive solar panel provider with its Q Cells total solar power solution provider. Hanwha says its Q Cells have the world’s largest cell production capacity.

Nikola announced earlier this week Londonbased CNH Industrial will lead Nikola’s Series D round of funding with its multimillion-dollar investment. The partnership is also designed to spur adoption of Nikola’s hydrogen-electric technology throughout North America and Europe.

Nikola is preparing to build 700 hydrogen fueling stations across the U.S. and Canada by 2028.The U.S. Department of Energy recently awarded Nikola a $1.7 million grant to help its research of fuel cell membrane electrode assembly development.

Arizona Being Touted As Alternative To Offshore Manufacturing Housed within the Arizona Commerce Authority, the Arizona Manufacturing Extension Partnership is a member of the MEP National Network.

The organization provides business and technical services to the more than 5,000 manufacturers employing 179,800 people in Arizona.

Overall, manufacturing employment in Arizona increased 9% between 2014 and 2018, outpacing the national average of 4%.

Manufacturing contributes $47.3 billion to the gross state product and $28.9 billion in labor income in Arizona.

From 2007 to 2017, the state experienced a 57% increase in employment in bioscience and medical equipment and supplies manufacturing — the highest growth rate in the nation. During that same time, Arizona experienced an 87% increase in employment in medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and chemicals manufacturing — second-highest growth in the nation.

We got a chance to catch up with David Garafano, executive director of AZ MEP, who also was a participant at the Business Journal's recent manufacturing roundtable.

locating or expanding here, the ACA emphasizes advantages of our state: low cost of doing business, top talent, excellent education, thriving innovation ecosystem, streamlined regulations, a simplified tax system, access to world markets and exceptional quality of life. Arizona’s strategic location in the southwestern U.S. is ideal for exporting products with access to 85 million consumers in a one-day radius across three of the largest economies in the world: California, Mexico and Texas. The state’s lack of natural and weather-related disasters – such as earthquakes, hurricanes, blizzards and tornadoes – makes Arizona an ideal location for companies that require employees and market access to be available consistently throughout the year.

Why is Arizona becoming more attractive than China to manufacture products?

Simpler supply chains, intellectual property protection, proximity to customers, access to talent and shorter cycle times make building in Arizona the best option.

Arizona also has proximity to major West Coast ports and six ports of entry into Mexico, including the nation’s first and only inland international joint U.S.-Mexico customs processing hub, SkyBridge Arizona.

This first-of-its-kind service enables e-commerce companies, manufacturers and other commercial interests conducting business in Mexico and throughout Latin America to transport goods efficiently and cost-effectively between countries.

Furthermore, Arizona’s reliable, low-cost power, geographic location with no natural disasters — in addition to its businessfriendly regulatory environment — make Arizona an ideal location for a new plant.

How is the workforce gap hindering manufacturing growth in Arizona?

While workforce shortages seem to be a ubiquitous trend in the industry in every state. Here in Arizona, the state has been proactive in creating unique workforce development programs to maintain a healthy talent pipeline, from the high school level and beyond. As technology evolves and more companies continue to establish advanced manufacturing operations, access to employees trained in high-tech advanced manufacturing is even more important.

The goal is to fabricate medical products and further research into nextgeneration treatments for Warfighters engaged in field activities. While so many 3D printing benefits have been shown to be applicable to use in the military already—from maintenance of weapons in the field, to uniforms, and even food, replacement of tissues in isolated areas is a new concept—but certainly one of the most important for offering immediate care to the wounded or sick.

These types of next-gen treatments mean patient-specific care could be offered on-demand, while far away from any hospital or medical center.

intellectual property (IP) protections.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has indicated that Canada is just waiting for the U.S. to pass USMCA before it makes its move to ratify the agreement. And Mexico was quick to react as the first to pass it.That’s because about 56% of total imports to Mexico are from the U.S., and close to 80% of total exports are to the U.S., noted Luis Domenech, managing director at Market Intelligence Latin America, S.C. (MILA), a company that helps organizations enter and expand in the Mexican and Latin American markets. “So if there are taxes imposed to 80% of Mexico’s exports, it would really hurt the economy,” he says.

If USMCA comes together—and Jarosz predicts it could be ratified as early as the fall and implemented in 2020—it will act as a great equalizer and enable more innovation in the industry, say the manufacturers I spoke to.

“We have competition in Canada,” says Craig Souser, CEO of JLS Automation, an OEM of robotic case packing systems. “We can compete, we’re not worried about that, we just don’t want them to have an unfair advantage,” he says, noting the need for the same rules to be applied at home and abroad. “Just level the playing field and we, at JLS, will take care of the rest.”

Sharron Gilbert, president and CEO of Septimatech Group, a packaging line machine builder based in Waterloo, Ontario, had a similar reaction: “Our particular business interest is with dairy, and my perspective is this could potentially open up opportunities for our customers who are producers of goods to become more competitive, change package formats, innovate new products and improve operational efficiencies. And U.S. customers can explore new market opportunities to grow and enter into the Canadian market place.”

So far, the following items have been created within the program:

• 3D printed scalpel handle and hemostat – these tools were each printed within 1.5 hours and can be sterilized onsite to avoid infection in soldiers and other military personnel who may be wounded and require treatment in the field.

• 3D printed bioactive bandages – involve fabrication of a hydrogel layer prepared with antibiotics, again to avoid infection, and protect wounds.

• 3D printing of a surgical model of T9 vertebrae – acts as a model for helping doctors diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries All the items were printed in a project led by LTC Jason Barnhill at the United States Military AcademyWest Point, Department of Chemistry and Life Science. The 3D printer and a host of supplies and raw materials were taken to a remote environment for the study, along with the RoosterBio Ready to Print (RTP) human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hMSCs). The manufactured cells were created to both ‘simplify and standardize’ some of the most difficult and time-consuming elements of 3D printing and more specifically, bioprinting.

“This technology enables austere printing in a resourcelimited setting as they are the only cells that allow for same-day bioprinting capabilities,” states a press release sent to 3DPrint regarding the project. By Bridget O’Neal 3D Printers3D PrintingBioprinting A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

A Guide To Investing In Arizona’s Opportunity Zones The opportunity zone fund provision that was included in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has created significant hype in the business community, especially within the real estate industry.

Whether you are looking for a new way to go to market with investors, or you are looking to take advantage of the tax benefits yourself, there may be

an opportunity for you.

What are opportunity zones?

Opportunity zones are areas designated by the recent legislation as economically distressed communities — with the purpose of incentivizing investment in those areas. Those who invest in the opportunity zones and follow the specific guidelines laid out have the potential to receive substantial tax benefits.

Where are opportunity zones located?

Arizona submitted and received certification for 168 tracts, 84 of which are in Maricopa County and 28 of which are in Pima County. Many have noted that some designated opportunity zones do not appear to be in economically distressed areas and would receive or are already receiving A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

increased investment regardless of the new tax law. In and around Phoenix, opportunity zones include parts of Old Town Scottsdale, downtown Phoenix, Paradise Valley Mall and downtown Mesa. Observers commonly cite Tucson’s downtown and the Northwest side located east of I-10 along Thornydale from Orange Grove to Ina when looking at other major Arizona opportunity zones.

What are the benefits of making a qualified opportunity zone fund (OZF) investment?

There are three tax benefits to making an OZF investment.

• Temporary gain deferral - First, there is a tax deferral of any capital gain that is invested in an OZF within 180 days.This could be a deferral of any capital gain, including gain from the sale of stock, real estate, operating business, personal assets and more. The gain may be deferred to the earlier of December 31, 2026 or the date the investment is disposed of.

Permanent exclusion - Secondly, a • taxpayer may permanently exclude 10% of

Arizona CFOs Optimistic But Uncertain Going Into 2020, Survey Says Arizona’s favorable climate and its entrepreneurial development make it an attractive destination for newcomers. Hiring is on the rise and private equity investment is up.

These are a few findings from the 2019-20 Arizona CFO Spotlight Survey, which examines trends that emerge through research and interviews with chief 02/16/10 financial officers in the state across eight industries.

The survey, released on Sept. 30, also identifies activities trends that may impact the way Arizona’s A2Zand Metalworker businesses and organizations operate.

1/3 page square - 5 3/8 x 5 3/8" The fourth annual version of the report, which is commissioned by BeachFleischman PC, found leaders from all industries around the state are at least somewhat optimistic about the near-term, though hiring remains their No. 1 concern.

BeachFleischman Chief Strategy Officer Eric Majchrzak said the leaders were surveyed from January to June 2019, with the results compiled from feedback from about 100 CFO interviews.

CFOs in nonprofit and government, hospitality and restaurants, high-tech and health care were moderately optimistic, while executives surveyed in construction, real estate, manufacturing and financial industries were very optimistic.

“With these insights in mind, the mood of Arizona corporate leaders is stable and positive for the remainder of 2019,” the report said.

It’s definitely time, according to the survey participants, for businesses to lock into current interest rates for large, planned improvements or purchases before rates increase.

A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

58 • Nov / Dec

Still, there’s a fair bit of uncertainty among leaders as they look toward planning for 2021, due in part to the upcoming 2020 presidential election. Leaders also cited some of Arizona’s major concerns: affordable housing, aging infrastructure and the ability to obtain work visas for immigrant workers. CFOs in the financial services sector expected some degree of economic slowdown in late 2020.

The report also said Phoenix is a key market for global telecommunications companies investing millions to deliver high-quality 5G networks.“This would result in faster speed, easier connectivity between devices and clearer resolution for live streaming and videoconferencing — giving Phoenix companies and organizations a short-term market advantage over cities without 5G,” the report said.

One area that saw a strong surge during the past year is the construction industry, where executives told researchers they anticipate revenue growth of 10% to 25% for 2019.

“Construction backlogs remain high and hover around nine months, with Phoenix cited as a high-growth area nationally for construction,” the report said.

Since Arizona manufacturers are concerned about supply line disruptions, tariffs and exchange rates, they predict the industry will grow from 2% to 5% in 2019, though demand is high through to 2020. By Serena O’Sullivan – Editorial Intern, Phoenix Business Journal

Manufacturing Adds 3,000 Jobs, Durable Goods Break Even Manufacturing added 3,000 jobs in August, with durable goods breaking even. Non-durable goods accounted for the entire net manufacturing job gain, according to a breakdown by industry issued recently by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Within durable goods, various industries posted either small job gains or losses.

Computer and electronic products added 2,300 jobs and non-metallic mineral products added 1,200.

BAE Systems Backs Aircraft Electrification With New Product Lines Building on experience ranging from flight and engine controls to hybr id-electr ic buses, BAE Systems is moving into the aircraft electrification market with a focus on regional aviation and urban air mobility (UAM).

“We are focusing in three capability segments,” says Yeshwanth Premkumar, business development manager and strategy lead for aircraft electrification. “The first is developing highly integrated controls where flight, propulsion and energy management come together as a singular element.We believe an integrated control solution is essential for electric or hybrid-electric aircraft.”

Second is energy management, including battery packs and battery management systems. “We don’t develop the cells that go into the battery,” he says. “But we do everything on up, packaging cells into modules, and modules into larger battery packs, and then the smart battery management technology that provides the operating and safety elements that are the only way to a full battery solution.”

The third capability is in power conversion, which includes inverters that convert DC to AC to power electric motors via wide-bandgap A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

electronic devices using silicon carbide and gallium nitride semiconductors.

“It is easy for us to create systems around these three areas, the top-level integrated control solution working with our energy management and power conversion systems, or to offer them as independent products,” says Premkumar.

BAE is focusing its investment in these product areas and on the regional-aircraft market, moving down into UAM, while looking at both hybrid-electric and allelectric applications. “We will announce the first platforms soon,” he says.

Electrification is not a new area for the U.S. arm of UK-headquartered BAE. The company has produced hybrid-electric drivetrains for some 12,000 transit buses, plus systems for the maritime, rail and military vehicle markets. “Aerospace is just a new application of our energy management and power conversion technologies,” says Premkumar.

BAE Systems produces hybrid-electric drivetrains for transit buses, plus propulsion systems for boats, light rail and military vehicles. Credit: BAE System In aerospace, BAE is now in the productization phase. Prototypes are expected to be available by late 2020/early 2021. “And our objective is to be ready to enter service in 2023-25,” he says. This supports the time frames established by several developers of electric regional and UAM aircraft.

At the core of BAE’s integrated controls product is its long experience developing fly-by-wire (FBW) flight controls. “A typical fly-by-wire system takes inputs from the operator and aircraft sensors and outputs commands. For electric or hybrid, we have to add motors and energy management into that,” he says.

“It can’t be stand-alone, it has to be integrated,” says Premkumar, as propulsion is

often also used for flight control in electric aircraft. “So to us, it is taking what we’ve already created and adding in what we have learned from ground and maritime to add functionality to the control hardware.”

FBW is already moving from only expensive commercial and military platforms into less costly regional and vertical-lift aircraft, so BAE is developing a new generation of hardware. “Our goal is to make it more cost-effective, simple and affordable without compromising on safety,” Premkumar says.

“We do this by simplifying the hardware and combining the functionality that was in three or four boxes into a more common and singular element that we can produce more cost-effectively.” Experience with flight controls as well as electric propulsion in other markets gives BAE a good understanding of how the systems will come together to provide the safety required for the regional and UAM markets, he says.

U.S. startup Wright Electric says it is discussing application of BAE’s flight control and energy management systems to its planned electric airliner. Credit:Wright Electric On the energy management side, BAE is developing battery packaging solutions that are scalable and flexible for different technologies, from cylindrical and pouch cells to solid-state devices. “We are not trying to control or define the path where cells are going to go,” says Premkumar. “Cell manufacturers are looking for volume in all markets.They are trying to be applicable almost anywhere, whether it is a bus, boat or airplane. So we don’t want to constrain that innovation.”

While the current focus is on optimized packaging for today’s mature lithium-ion technology, BAE continues to evaluate lithium-sulfur, solid-state and other advanced battery chemistries. “We are looking at all these options to see what’s going to be next. We take those cells and put them into our own independent evaluation process.

We run them through different operational cycles, for buses or aircraft, all-electric or hybrid-electric, and see what the limitations are so we have a better understanding of how to package those cells.”

BAE is striving for as much commonality in hardware and software as possible across different markets to keep costs down. Elements such as the battery management system will be designed to the most demanding requirements and scaled to the application. Battery pack designs will differ between large and small platforms but be based on the same modules.

“Our focus is on the modules,” Premkumar says. “We have two different packaging concepts, one for regional aircraft and another for UAM. But everything around the modules, electronics, software and controls we want to keep the same, because that’s where the investment and time is spent, and so we can improve our time to market.”

BAE continues to produce 2,000 hybrid-electric bus drivetrains a year and expects the electric aircraft market to develop first through the hybridization of regional aircraft, which “makes perfect sense,” says Premkumar, adding, ”we will see this in the mid-2020s.” He also expects a “subregional” market for aircraft with 150-500-mi. range to develop. UAM will be the most challenging, “but by the mid-2020s, we will see initial operations start,” he says. Graham Warwick | Aviation Week & Space Technology A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Startup Licenses Carbon Fiber Tech to Treat Broken Bones A UA engineering professor has invented a flexible carbon fiber fabric designed to be inserted inside and around a fractured bone. The technology has been licensed to a startup and has already received venture capital funding to take it forward.

When an animal or human suffers a broken bone, sometimes a traditional cast is not a viable option due to the location or nature of the fracture. To address the problem, University of Arizona professor Hamid Saadatmanesh has invented a flexible carbon fiber fabric designed to be inserted inside and around a fractured bone. The fabric is filled with an inert polymer to inflate the fabric, which then acts as a permanent cast which cannot be rebroken.

Saadatmanesh, a professor in the College of Engineering, licensed the technology from the UA and started a company, MediCarbone Inc., to commercialize the invention. He is off to a successful start, having received investment funding from UAVenture Capital, a Tucson-based venture capital fund dedicated to the commercialization of discoveries, products, technologies and services emerging from the UA. “Hamid is a brilliant engineer who has used his entrepreneurial skills and imagination to solve significant worldwide issues through the creative use of carbon fiber. We see huge opportunities for both infrastructure repair and medical utilization of his inventions,” said Fletcher McCusker, CEO and founder of UAVenture Capital.

Doug Hockstad, assistant vice president of Tech Launch Arizona, the UA unit that

commercializes technologies and innovations originating from the UA, noted the unique nature of the invention.

“We are excited about Dr. Saadatmanesh’s innovation for bone repair because of the difference the medical application can make and the lack of anything similar in the marketplace,” he said. “This kind of creative application of carbon fiber technology is yet one more example of how the University of Arizona is engaged in moving the Fourth Industrial Revolution forward.

“As the eighth and ninth investments in UA technology by UAVenture Capital, these ventures are exciting applications of Dr. Saadatmanesh’s research, and amazing examples of the kind of research the UA can produce with positive global impact,” said UA President Robert C. Robbins.

“The ability to accelerate UA discoveries into the marketplace is integral to our role as a global land-grant university and fundamentally important in our new strategic plan. We are pleased that UAVenture Capital continues to engage with our faculty to help create an ecosystem of research, innovation, invention and commercialization, and I am delighted every time we learn of world-changing inventions by our faculty, students and staff, and the opportunities they create here at the University of Arizona.”

Intel Cuts High-End Chip Prices As Competition Heats Last month, chipmaker Intel Corp made several big moves involving such matters as pricing and corporate leadership.

For starters, the company is slashing the price of its high-end desktop chips in a further sign of intensifying competition from the resurgent Advanced Micro Devices.

According to industry publications, Intel is cutting prices of its latest i9 chips by $1,000, with the upcoming products pricing at $979. The i9 chips, slated to become available next month, are built on the company’s 14-nanometer technology. In recent quarters the company has logged strong performance of its PC business due largely to the sales of its high-end, and premium-priced, chips.

Intel has squeezed more performance out of the 14nm chips with a series of upgrades while the company works to get back on track with the regular cadence of shrinking chip size. The previous timeline in which smaller sizes were released every two years has been severely delayed between the 14nm and 10nm products.

The 10nm chips, named Ice Lake, have started shipping in premium laptops.

As Intel deals with manufacturing delays surrounding 10nm, rival chipmaker AMD has released its equivalent technology, manufactured

by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp.AMD is set to release a new version of its product, the Ryzen Threadripper, next month as well.

Those chips are expected to be cheaper than Intel’s but still provide the computing needed for certain uses, according to reports. Just last month, an Intel executive noted that the manufacturing delays, which led to some 14nm chip shortages, did lead to some loss of market share.

“As we’ve gone through the supply issue kind of in the last six to 12 months on the PC side, we had to walk away from some low-end mobile share as well as some channel desktop share,” said Vice President Jason Grebe. “But as we continue to improve our supply situation, we’ll continue to get more aggressive there.” By Malia Spencer – Staff Reporter, Portland Business Journal

Determining the Country of Origin Is Key During the U.S.-China Trade War Both the United States and China have used tariff increases heavily during the trade war between the two countries, which has led to the disruption of the supply chain. Many businesses have moved out of the U.S. and China to third-party countries, such as Vietnam, to manufacture their products there in an attempt to avoid the tariffs on both sides. But what does it take for a product to be considered as “made in Vietnam” as opposed to “made in China” or “made in the USA”? For example, if the raw materials are imported from China but the product is put together in Vietnam, is the product “made in Vietnam”?

The key to answering to this question is the determination of the country of origin. Because the U.S. Section 232 measures only specific products

“originating in China” and the Chinese State Council Tariff Commission and other additional tariff documents only aim at specific products “originating in the United States,” it is extremely important that we carefully examine the country of origin rules in both countries.

What Is the “Country of Origin”?

In the international trade context, the origin of products is also referred to as the “economic nationality” of commodities.

Most countries will give different treatment over imported products according to each country’s own interests. The country of origin can affect, among other things, admissibility, the application of preferential tariff rates, eligibility for special programs, marking requirement or the addition of retaliatory tariffs based on anti-dumping, countervailing and other trade protection needs, such as the 15%-25% tariff imposed in the U.S.-China trade war.

In order to implement these tariff differential treatments, quantitative restrictions or other trade-related measures, customs must determine the country of origin of the imported goods in accordance with the rules of the country origin and give appropriate customs treatment. Therefore, the determination of the origin is an important basis and prerequisite for the effective implementation of tariff treatment and trade measures adopted by a country.

Notably, there is no worldwide international agreement on the determination of country of origin and each government applies their own rules.As a general matter, there are two types of rules governing country of origin markings: preferential and nonpreferential.

Preferential rules apply as part of a free or preferential bilateral or regional trade agreement governing whether a product can benefit from any special tariff preferential treatment, and nonpreferential rules apply when a product does not qualify for any preferential treatment.The additional tariffs imposed during the U.S.-China trade war refer to nonpreferential treatment, so this article will limit the scope of discussion to nonpreferential country of origin rules only.

What Is the Country of Origin Rule in the U.S.?

Under the Tariff Act of 1930 and corresponding regulations, for goods that are “wholly obtained” (grown, produced or

manufactured) in a single country of origin, the country of origin of the goods is that single country. For goods that are manufactured in, assembled in, or use materials originating in more than one country, the country of origin of the goods is the last place in which the good was substantially transformed into a new and distinct article of commerce. A “substantial transformation” is defined generally as working or processing that results in the creation of a new and different article of commerce, having a name, character or use different from those of its components.

GET PAID CASH FOR SCRAP METAL

We purchase all types of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals.

Specifically, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) considers the following factors in the substantial transformation determination: 1. the character/name/use of the finished article; 2. the nature of the article’s manufacturing process, as compared to the process used to make the component parts or materials used to make the product; 3. the value added by the manufacturing process compared to the value imparted by the component parts or materials; 4. whether the essential character is established by the manufacturing process or by the essential character of the component parts or materials.

The country of origin determination is very fact-specific.The CBP relies on a body of court decisions, CBP regulations and agency interpretations to determine the country of origin of imported products.

Every article of foreign origin (or its container/package) imported into the U.S., unless specifically exempted, must be marked in a manner that will indicate to the ultimate purchaser of the article’s country of origin. The CBP determines the origin of all imported goods and may refuse to release the goods for any improperly marked goods. BY: Yuanyou “Sunny” Yang A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Lucid Motors Gets Site Plan Approval, Begins Hiring For Arizona Plant Lucid Motors USA Inc., the Menlo Park, California-based electric car startup looking to compete with Tesla Inc., has submitted a site plan and started hiring for its planned $700 million auto manufacturing facility in Casa Grande.

its Oct. 3 meeting.

The Casa Grande Planning and Zoning Commission approved Lucid’s major site plan and conditional-use permit at

The project’s first phase will have two buildings totaling 820,000 square feet and support structures for utilities, waste management, security and storage. Future phases will expand these uses and add a customer experience center.

Lucid will build its facility on 496 acres on the southwest corner of Thornton and Peters roads. The conditional-use permit is for a 10-foot block wall to create a buffer around the existing homes on Peters Road.

Lucid plans to commercially launch its first electric vehicle, the Lucid Air, in 2020. The vehicle, which aims to compete against Tesla’s Model S and other luxury vehicles, will have a 400-mile range.

The Lucid Air, its first production luxury electric vehicle, will be built in Casa Grande.

After Lucid first announced plans for its Casa Grande facility in November 2016, the

startup received a $1 billion investment from Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia to help it produce its first electric cars.

Lucid has more than 20 open positions listed in Casa Grande, including a facilities project manager, metrologist/quality control dimensional manager, senior IT infrastructure project lead and senior manager of human resources.

By 2022, Lucid said it anticipates having more than 2,000 full-time employees working onsite in Casa Grande.

Employees can expect “competitive salaries and meaningful equity,” as well as “providing a community for the brilliant minds who want to make an immediate and significant impact,” according to the company Lucid isn’t the only alternative fuel vehicle manufacturer setting up shop in central Arizona. Nikola Motor Co. plans to build a $1 billion, 2,000-job manufacturing plant in Coolidge for its hydrogen-electric semi trucks.

Both Nikola and Lucid are working through applications to receive foreign trade zone status for their planned vehicle manufacturing facilities. The status could save the companies millions of dollars in various tax and customs benefits. By Hayley Ringle – Reporter, Phoenix Business Journal A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

In Crawford County, many of the tooling and machining shops are suppliers of tools, equipment and parts to major manufacturers. Local firms manufacture precision parts used in everything from trains, planes and automobiles to electronics to medical equipment to consumer products.

The Bayfront Convention Center will host a celebration of manufacturing and technology with interactive displays and exhibits plus educational breakout sessions.

Exhibits and displays will include three-dimensional printing, robotics, CNC (computer numerically controlled) machining, drone technology and other technologies.

“There’s going to be a lot of ‘hands-on’ time with manufacturing for the students, which is what they like,” Adams said.

Plus, breakout sessions for attendees will allow them to talk industry experts about scientific problem solving, exploring manufacturing innovation, apprenticeships and the high-paying jobs available in manufacturing.

The event is expected to attract more than 2,000 students and visitors from around the region.Keith Gushard can be reached at 724-6370 or by email at kgushard@meadvilletribune.com.

It’s almost like we built ‘Canto’ from fundamental building blocks of sound.”

While the advent of quieter hybrid and electric vehicles presents an opportunity to build such sounds from scratch, there is a long history of sound design in the automotive industry. Muscle cars have their distinctive throaty growl. Harley Davidson motorcycles have that syncopated “potatopotato-potato” chug. (That’s really what they’ve called it.)

There is also a history of maintaining zombie sounds long after technology has made them obsolete. On smartphones, for example, the actions of locking the device or taking photos are often accompanied by the noises of a mechanical lock or camera shutter. In financial apps, transactions are often accompanied by the sound of jingling coins or a cash register.

In the case of hybrid and electric vehicles, though, the need for sound is about more than the user experience: It’s about safety. About a decade ago, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that hybrid electric vehicles were 35% more likely than those with internal combustion engines to be involved in a pedestrian accident. Hybrids were also 57% more likely to be involved in accidents involving bicycles.

In 2010, Congress passed a law to enhance pedestrian safety, instructing

INTRODUCING: Falcon Engineering Corporation HUBZONE Certified, Woman-Owned, AS9100 Offering Aerospace/Defense Machining & Textiles

Falcon Engineering Corporation is an AS9100 Revision D, ISO 9001: 2015, HUBZONE certified Woman-Owned Company that is a ‘must contact’ if you need aerospace/DoD precision machining and textile manufacturing. In fact, if you are trying to achieve a quota for a HUBZONE certified supplier, there is a good chance you have found a new partner. Today, the company provides comprehensive multidisciplined manufacturing services in CNC, fabrication, textiles, and military critical safety items. Nearly all of its products are utilized to protect or assist our deployed soldiers in the field.

Co-owners (and partners in marriage) Bruce Johnson and Shauna Fantasia both had a dream to own their own business.The two have diverse yet complimentary skills — Bruce brings 25 years of experience in program management positions in aerospace companies and Shauna is a scientist. By his own admission, Bruce is a dreamer and Shauna is pragmatic. Both share a passion for the industry and for their customers and employees. Both too embrace technology and recognize that building the business today with the technology customers will require in the coming years is an integral component of their growth strategy.

The company launched 4 short years ago in a 600 square foot facility, and early customers contacted Falcon Engineering for consulting needs. Quickly, they earned a reputation for the mission critical A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

safety textile items they manufacture (and sometimes design), including: cargo parachutes, Bradley Gun Covers, Javelin Weapons Cases, Ribbon parachute Deceleration Chutes, G12 Pilot Chutes, ‘Go Bags’, Stinger Missile Jump Packs, Deployment bags, and ULCANS (a multispectral, lightweight and easy-to-handle camouflage screen that presents a revolution in concealing military objects). In essence, they manufacture pretty much any product required by the DoD made from textiles.

Pictured to the right is an airborne Special Forces parachute with the stinger missile that is protected by the Jump Pack System that was manufactured by the Falcon team.

Bruce says, “Almost all of our business today (95%) involves manufacturing products for the Department of Defense (DoD), with 75% of our products shipping directly to the DoD and the remainder shipping to large prime contractors including L3, Harris Corporation and Northrop Grumman.

Both Shauna and Bruce admit the first years of business ownership were extremely difficult.

Shauna says, “We had to get all processes established in order to just get in the door and qualify to be a supplier to the primes and DoD, including: AS9100/ISO 9001 certifications, ITAR registration and NIST 800 Cyber Compliance.”The company additionally manufactures components that are ‘Space Qualified’, which means that they had to meet higher quality requirements defined by their customers than that which comes with AS9100 certification. Shauna says, “Thankfully, Bruce excels at processes and spent years in these

roles, and so it went much smoother than it otherwise would have.” In fact, Falcon Engineering achieved ISO and AS9100 certification without the assistance of a consulting group!

Today, Falcon Engineering is, to their knowledge, 1 of only 8 businesses in the US that are certified to manufacturing critical safety textile items (e.g. parachutes and components) for military personnel. The company experienced solid growth in its first 4 years; Bruce says 300% from year 1 to year 2, 250% from year 2 to year 3, and 100% last year. This year, however, business has been nothing short of explosive, with a projected 500% increase in year over year revenues.

The company no longer resides in its initial 600 square feet facility; today they occupy 20,000 of space at Mesa Gateway Airport located in Mesa, Arizona. Shauna and Bruce agree that “The Key to our success is our employees; without them Falcon Engineering would not be where it is today. We have the best employees in the valley!”

They have a new pursuit with the OmegA, the Northrop Grumman new intermediate/heavyclass rocket that is modular in design enabling an affordable approach to meeting a wide range of mission requirements. They are also building hardware for the interior of the Orion crew capsule, which is NASA’s new exploration spacecraft, designed to carry astronauts to destinations in deep space, including an asteroid and Mars.

Bruce has been around machine shops in his positions within aerospace companies. He isn’t a machinist, he admits. As Falcon Engineering’s list of projects grew, they were outsourcing fixtures for the sewing machines they own, many of which are CNC sewing machines. Shauna says, “We weren’t getting the quality or the finished fixtures delivered in time for our customers’ schedules.”

Bruce made some machine tool purchases to bring the fixture machining in house. “Our early purchases were used, a couple of Haas machines and a Japanese CNC machine.”

I mentioned that Bruce has been around machines in his years in the aerospace manufacturing industry but he isn’t a machinist. After the early machine tool purchases, the company began hiring experienced machinists. Shauna says, “We learned right away that machinists really like the Haas machines, and you can find machinists experienced on the Haas machines readily.” She added, “Not so much for the Japanese machine Bruce had purchased.” Bruce adds, “Gene Haas offers programs to universities and technical programs with substantially discounted Haas machines.This enables machinists in training to learn on the Haas machine. Also, they are so intuitive and user friendly.”

Bruce first met Alex Anderson, his Sales Engineer from Ellison Machinery, more than two years ago, and he has since purchased several Haas machines from Alex, including the newest Haas VF-2SS and Haas ST-25Y. Bruce says, “Alex is my point man at Ellison Machinery for everything, not just sales, but also service. I can call him any time, evenings included, and if he doesn’t answer the phone immediately, he calls me back shortly after. He is extremely technically competent, and he cares about our business.”

Bruce is a Haas customer through and through, but it’s not all he has purchased from Alex and the Ellison Machinery team. Alex says, “Falcon recently added a Mitutoyo Crysta-Plus M series CMM to his machine shop. He wanted a manual CMM because his part quantities are typically low and couldn’t justify the time to program a CNC CMM. Mitutoyo is one of the few companies who still offer a manual CMM new.” Bruce says the Mitutoyo is perfect for their business and the price was extremely competitive.

Falcon Engineering is HUBZONE certified, and this is something you can’t easily find.

Additionally they have all the certifications necessary to manufacture mission critical textile and machined products. Contact them at (480) 355-0911 or visit thefalconcorp.com to learn more abut them.

In 2017, the program connected with nearly 27,000 manufacturers, fostered more than $12 billion in sales and helped create or retain more than 100,000 US manufacturing jobs.

The MEP program, like Manufacturing USA, is a public-private partnership. Federal funding pays half the costs with the other half coming from state and local governments and the private sector.

The program is a wise investment of federal dollars, returning nearly $14.50 to the federal treasury in taxes for every $1 spent.

Congress must ensure that the MEP program is adequately funded so it can continue assisting small manufacturers to be more innovative and competitive. It should also strengthen the partnership between the MEP and Manufacturing USA programs, as proposed in the American Manufacturing Leadership Act and the Global Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing Act, so they leverage the resources of the other to better serve small firms.

3. Enact the Smart Manufacturing Leadership Act The Smart Manufacturing Leadership Act is a bipartisan effort to expand federal training programs that help SMBs adopt “smart manufacturing” technologies.

The legislation directs the Secretary of Energy to develop a national smart manufacturing plan, expands existing Department of Energy programs to assist SMB manufacturers in adopting these technologies and provides federal grants to states to establish similar training programs. In addition to improving manufacturing competitiveness, the legislation is estimated to save consumers $5 billion in energy costs by 2040 while reducing carbon emissions equivalent to taking 116 million cars off the road.

The bill defines smart manufacturing broadly to include digital product design and simulation, digital design and simulation of factory production lines, digitally connected supply chain networks and even digital design of factory buildings. It recognizes that truly “smart manufacturing” encompasses

Root Cause Corrective Action: It’s Important Bretta Kelly, owner BMSC, LLC ; Illustrations: Josh Kelly Over a decade has passed since I made a simple presentation on how to document a corrective action, and it still applies in modern times. Root Cause and Action to Prevent Recurrence are both requirements of the corrective action records from the ISO 9001 and Aerospace standards. Companies still struggle recording the Root Cause and applying it to the Action to Prevent Recurrence; the presentation is divided into nine sections, and it can assist any present-day company looking to improve.

How to Document a Corrective Action: Always take the approach that the person reading the corrective action record may not be a person who was involved in finding or solving the problem.

Corrective Action: • • • •

Problem Statement Root Cause Containment / Immediate Action Action to Prevent Recurrence Example: o Do not summarize to the point that you lose meaning of what you were trying to say o Problem Statement; Lamp Broke o Root Cause; Fell on the floor o Containment / Immediate Action; Buy new Lamp / Replace Lamp o Action to Prevent Recurrence; Move Lamp to the middle of the table

√ √

This is documented so briefly it is hard to know what really happened or if the correct solution was reached.

There should always be a direct one to one relationship with the action to prevent recurrence and the root cause.

How to Test This • The easiest way to test if a Corrective Action is documented correctly is to look at the Action to Prevent Recurrence and then see if it addresses the root cause.

• If it does, then you are good.

• If it does not you need to research if it does not match because the root cause was documented wrong (common) or if you jumped to the wrong or potentially wrong solution because the root cause was not in depth enough.

In the Earlier Example the Real Story is As Follows: • Problem Statement – The lamp fell off the table and broke on the tile floor • Root Cause – The lamp was plugged into an outlet on the side of the room, so the cord was stretched across the floor to the outlet.

My children were running through the house and tripped over the cord therefore knocking the lamp onto the floor and breaking it • Containment / Immediate Action - Buy new Lamp / Replace Lamp • Action to Prevent Recurrence – Use outlet under the couch for the lamp so the cord is not exposed.

Train (refresher training) my children of why not to run through the house and the consequences of such actions……………

Contact us today BMSC, LLC bretta.bmsc@cox.net 602-445-9400 www.businessmsc.com Importance of Root Cause ∆ If you do not ask why enough times when investigating the root cause, then you may jump to the solution of putting the new lamp in the middle of the table (assuming it fell off the table because it was too close to the edge). ∆ On the other hand, you may know that it was because of the cord, but if not documented correctly then the action to prevent recurrence won’t match the documented root cause and that is when the documented CAR becomes questionable.

Audit Experience • Many times when auditing corrective actions of a company we find the action to prevent recurrence does not match the root cause, or that the root cause looks like it was not in depth (did not ask why enough times).

• Once the CAR owner is interviewed, they usually say “we did this and that, and found out this and that…., and that is why we decided on the action we did” – The auditor’s reaction is usually “why didn’t you write that down?”

Summary

√

The key to effectively documenting a corrective action is to always go back and look at your action to prevent recurrence then go back to the root cause and ensure that there is a direct relationship.

√

If there is no direct relationship between the action to prevent recurrence and the root cause you must add information to the record so that it is clear.

√

Put yourself in the mindset that you only know what happened, why it happened and what you are going to do about it based on what is documented in your record.

Another crucial factor is evaluating the effectiveness of the actions taken, which is also a requirement for the corrective action process in the ISO 9001 standard. A comprehensive root cause analysis or an implemented corrective action, even actions taken to prevent recurrence are meaningless if the effectiveness of the corrective action isn’t evaluated at a later date. Evaluating the actions we take allows us to determine if the problem is resolved, or if the company requires a different solution. A successful corrective action should be the intention of every company, as opposed to a corrective action that only exists to satisfy an auditor.

Every problem should be met with the intention to solve it, and to make sure it does not happen again.

Since not every problem offers a permanent solution, it is also important to check to make sure the conflict did not resurface periodically. Rather than simply reacting to an issue, a well thought out corrective action should be put in place, giving companies what they need to measure effectiveness and improve upon past errors.

While the population grew to more than 30,000, it became clear during the last recession that more needed to be done to boost and diversify Sahuarita’s economy, Murphy said.

The Arizona Commerce Authority, the state’s economic-development arm, gave Sahuarita a $250,000 grant to help pay to extend a sewer line to the property in 2015.

Copper giant Freeport-McMoRan chipped in a $330,000 grant through its local Community Investment Funds program, which has totaled more than $5 million since 2010, said Jessica Brack, social responsibility and community development manager for Freeport.

Murphy said the town plans to further grow retail development and is looking at transportation and logistics to piggyback on efforts to boost industrial uses at Tucson International Airport and to build the proposed Interstate 11 bypass to I-19.

Tucson Tech: Sahuarita Aims To Diversify, Grow With New Tech Center In the shadow of massive mine tailings that symbolize part of its past, the town of Sahuarita is vying to build a high-tech future.

Civic and business leaders broke ground on the Sahuarita Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Center (SAMTEC), a 32,000-square-foot building near the southeast corner of West Sahuarita Road and South La Cañada Drive.

The $4.2 million project was funded mainly through a $3 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, with additional funding from the Freeport-McMoRan Foundation, Arizona Commerce Authority and the town itself.

Sahuarita economic development director Victor Gonzalez said the town’s economic woes following the recession helped it qualify for the federal grant, which he now hopes will help diversify the town’s economy.“We are doing economic development here literally from the ground up,” Gonzalez said during the groundbreaking event, as a team of surveyors worked the site nearby. “We are really trying to transform ourselves beyond a bedroom community.”

Founded in 1911, Sahuarita grew as a home to miners who worked the Sierrita Mine and later, the Mission Mine.When it was incorporated in 1994, the town had about 1,800 residents and was mainly seen as a “great residential community,” Mayor Tom Murphy said.

Besides adjacent copper mines and the major pecan growing and processing operations of Farmers Investment Co., Sahuarita has little in the way of production and manufacturing industries.

Efforts to market the light-manufacturing property have just begun, led by the commercial real estate firm CBRE, Gonzalez said.

One successful Sahuarita-based company, Hydronalix, is already considering SAMTEC. The company, founded by University of Arizona engineering alumnus Tony Mulligan, has developed a line of robotic watercraft for rescue and research purposes, and its small craft were recently used to survey storm damage in the Bahamas.

The company now employs 28 people in research and development and manufacturing at its main office on Duval Mine Road, about 4 miles south of SAMTEC, and has some employees at other locations in Tucson, Mulligan said.

“We’re looking at it as possibly a place to consolidate,” he said.

Under terms of the federal grant, the building must accommodate multiple tenants, and the town has worked out floor plans to accommodate two or three tenants. Arizona Daily Star
