Tool and Die Technicians Supporting Large Work Orders

This Metalworking facility required additional Technicians to support a surge in their work orders. FlexTrades provided three highly skilled Tool & Die experts who ramped up after two weeks, allowing our client to deliver orders on time while keeping all work in-house. During the project, there was another third-party staffing service working alongside our technicians. According to the facility Manager, our technicians surpassed these workers through experience, production, and professional development.

Transmission Equipment Technicians Ramp Up Facility Production

One of our Industrial Motion clients was in dire need of a programmer for a new style of part they were unfamiliar with when they acquired a new product line. They contacted us for immediate support, and within a week we deployed Karl, one of our highly skilled programmers. Karl stepped in on day one and started running and programming complicated parts. Karl showed our client how to set up the parts. Our client was so impressed with Karl’s programming skills, they had him train their full-time programmers on Mastercam. In addition, Karl provided them with multiple tips and techniques that resulted in programming times being lowered by 20-30 minutes. If that wasn’t enough, Karl took existing programs they have run for years and made recommendations to reduce cycle times. Overall, Karl made a major positive impact on the operations and our client sent us a recommendation letter stating just that.

Multi-Skilled Technicians Address Supply Chain Issues

One of our agricultural machinery clients was experiencing material delays related to COVID-19 supply chain issues. As a result, they set up a new line dedicated to adding missing materials to machines once they came in. We deployed multi-skilled technicians specifically to work on the new line. This allowed our client to keep regular production lines moving while working through supply chain issues.

Reducing Backlogs Ahead of Schedule

One of our clients who specializes in steel processing and production needed welders to get them caught up on a large backlog. FlexTrades deployed two of its tenured technicians, Stephen and Paul, to help with the workload. Our welders came in and contributed such high levels of productivity that they were able to help our client get caught up on their backlog 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Since this project, we continue to redeploy our technicians when this client experiences backlogs or large orders to help them meet production goals.
