If you are looking to increase productivity in any application or industry, the best place to start is to examine total cost of ownership of fasteners in use. By reducing the unseen costs (which can represent up to 85% of the total in place cost) a dramatic cost savings will occur during the entire life of the product model.
When looking to improve productivity and control or possibly lower cost, the total in place cost must be evaluated.
The 85/15 theory can be applied to any situation. The question may change from “where do I spend most of my time?” in regards to the tasks at hand to “where do I spend most of my revenue in regards to the task of generating a profit?”

There are many different quality requirements that our team takes into account before we recommend a fastener for a particular product. The first factor is the life expectancy of the product in which it will be used. It is important that the fasteners will hold up as long as the product in order to avoid productivity pitfalls with continuous replacements. Next, we examine finish requirements. Is there a corrosion factor at work? Material requirements are also closely considered because fastener strength is important. Temperature extremes are also a crucial component of material requirements because severe heat or cold can affect fastener performance. Also, will the joint be exposed to a corrosive environment? The more knowledge we have about what the fastener will have to withstand, the better position we’re in to make a suitable recommendation. (more…)
Rust can harm the appearance and surface value of an item, but it can also do major damage if it is not discovered and prevented from the beginning. Don’t let corrosion result in the failure of your product. Whether it leads to unhappy customers or a major structural issue in a building, it is important to know what corrosion is and the basics of preventing different types of corrosion. (more…)
