Replace, Repair, or Retrain? Four Steps to Optimize Your Shop for Success
There comes a time in any product’s lifecycle when a difficult decision may have to be made. Whether it’s a faithful old pickup truck, that trusty 9-iron that always bailed you out, or a tired 3-axis mill that seems to get a little farther from tolerance with each turn, it’s easy to get attached.
Shop owners are too familiar with these decisions. How do you know when it’s time to fish or cut bait? Do I keep investing in replacement parts and take the hit on more downtime, or bite the bullet and invest in a new machine? Are my employees positioned for success on our current machine lineup or do we need to reassess our capabilities and retrain operators to do more work that the machines can better handle?
These can be tough decisions, but we’re here to guide you through the process step by step, helping you make the best choices for your needs.
