| Continuous Change Applied: Desired Change: Mandated Change: |
||
Product Managers, Designers, Engineers and Manufactures continually face change. All changes have some effect, positive or negative on performance and costs. It becomes the task of each one and all departments working as a team to accept and make change. Our goal while meeting mandated change along with desired change is to focus on improving our product, its performance and customer profitability with minimal increase in cost. Today we face an EPA Mandated Change; Final Tier 4 Diesel engines are now being received. Along with Tier 4 engines, a reduction in horse power on the same engine block and displacement is one issue we face. We have known for many months this ruling would be mandated. Early planning has been successful with several running changes made that have allowed us to maintain performance, hold costs and become more user friendly while improving our product offerings Earlier we started using cog belt drive to drive five (5) individual gear pumps. Also we started using electrical powered solenoid valves for on/off functions. The gear pumps are highly efficient and do not require a charge pressure to operate. A small savings. Then the solenoid valves allowed the Remote Radio Control to be added at minimal cost. Additionally, small design changes to the fines conveyor reduced the power required to carry big loads. So, a small saving at each point adds up to keeping our output very near to pre: EPA mandated changes without going to a higher Horse Power Engine. Announcing: With the publication of Brad’s “Blog” # 77, we include a Remote Radio, on/off, Control as Standard equipment on the Model 68C. All new Model 68C quotes will include the Remote Control as a standard component. All new Model 68C quotes will include the Remote Control as a standard component at no additional charge.
