  • CSR and Sustainable Development

    In Corporate Social Responsibility, instead of focusing on the simple aspects of standards and qualities, it is better to focus on sustainable development and the human aspect of the company.

    Wear, stress and pressure on personnel must be taken into account.

    If your employees' cutting, sharpening and/or punching tool is of poor quality, it will not perform well. Also if they do not know how to maintain it or not to maintain it well, they will be detrimentally affected.

    The work will be both of poor quality and slower to completion.

    They won't be professional!

    If the tool does not cut properly, the work, material yields and productivity will be deficient. Operators will tire unnecessarily, they will not be happy with them and so will you.

    The company will not be professional!

    Expert advice:

    1. Use high-performance tools, i.e. those that are really designed for the task at hand (shape, size, weight and ergonomics). These are perhaps more expensive but you should have a long-term vision by counting the savings in terms of material profitability, productivity and quality. From this point of view, you will save money and time. The operators will be grateful for this, it will improve the overall working spirit in the company. Beyond that, you will have a better grasp of turnover.
    2. Plan periods in the production cycle for the maintenance of their tools because the most important thing is the cutting edge of the tool. Without it, the tool will not cut. The edge wears out and deforms when working, so it must be maintained. If you have to produce 20, plan a rate of 21 or even 22, so that they have time to maintain their tools. With a powerful tool, they will produce more easily and therefore faster. The additional load will be absorbed by the skills of the tool used by the operator!
    3. Plan the right equipment for this maintenance. Today there are professional sharpening machines that are fast and efficient. Enjoy the benefits of modern equipment designed for greater efficiency.
    4. Before any hiring, it is important to check the real skills of future employees by filling in their gaps in terms of both knowledge and know-how on the subject.
    5. An annual reminder is important and essential for their health (TMS). Through this action, you will demonstrate your professionalism by improving performance measurement.
