CNC Industries is expanding

Due to strong demand for our services, we are pleased to announce plans to expand our facility.

We will be investing up to 3.5 million dollars over the next three years and expect to add 10-20 jobs per year for the next several years. The investment will include a 22,000 sq ft expansion of our existing 35,000 sq ft facility as well as numerous new CNC machines.

CNC Industries has chosen Briner Building, Inc. as the general contractor for the expansion. Construction will begin as soon as the permits are obtained, with a scheduled completion by August 1, 2012.

This expansion will allow CNC Industries to take on additional business as well as shorten our lead time for new jobs.

The community responds to our “Occupy A Job” sign

Since putting up a yard sign which says – Occupy A Job, We’re Hiring! – we have received a significant community response to it. We’re very pleased to say that most people accepted the sign in the spirit that we intended it – that we’re growing and we have several positions available for qualified people.

Although admittedly the sign is a play on the “Occupy” movement which is spreading around the country, we didn’t intend for this sign to be interpreted as an anti-Occupy Wall Street message. In fact, we agree with some of the issues that the OWS groups have. We just happen to believe that rather than Occupy public land in protest, the best thing we can do as a small business is to work at growing our business and create new jobs.

Kevin Leininger of the Fort Wayne News Sentinel newspaper was the first to pick up on the sign. He interviewed Steve Deam Sr. and Steve Deam Jr. and wrote

[this article]].

As you can tell by some of the comments on the article, some people take exception to the message on the sign. I’m not sure how a message that we have jobs available is a bad thing, but apparently to some people it is…

The following day WANE TV contacted us for an on-camera interview and aired [this piece] on the sign.

Exactly one week later Indiana News Center requested an interview and aired [this piece] as a follow-up to the story.

As a result of the unexpected media exposure, we were flooded with résumés and applications.

Reaction to the sign was overwhelmingly positive. We received numerous emails from people, as well as had people stop in, who wanted to let us know they loved the sign. We even received emails from people in Arizona and Utah who said they saw the story on their local news.

We also received positive reaction from many of our own employees, and in fact, it was a couple of our employees that suggested we add tents to draw more attention to the sign. Our office staff told me that out of the well over 100 applicants, not one person had anything negative to say about the sign. We even had at least one person from the “Occupy Fort Wayne” movement stop in to apply!

CNC Industries would like to thank all of those people who have applied for a position. Due to the strong response, we expect to be able to quickly fill the 5-7 positions currently available and will draw upon these applicants for future positions as they become available. We are in the process of reviewing each and every application, and will be contacting people very soon for an interview.

We wish we had jobs available for every applicant who truly wants a job, but unfortunately we don’t. We’re working on it though. Going forward we anticipate creating anywhere from 10 to 30 new jobs each year.

Steve Deam, Jr. is speaking at the JobshopLean 2011 Conference at Ohio State University

Because of the extensive work that CNC Industries has done in the area of using technology to support lean manufacturing, Steve Deam Jr. has been invited to speak at the JobshopLean 2011 Conference hosted by Ohio State.

The purpose of this conference is to explore the many ways that implementing Lean Manufacturing in a Jobshop is different than implementing it in Toyota. The primary difference, as quoted from the “Jobshoplean” web site, is: “A typical Jobshop is a HIGH-mix and VARIABLE-volume manufacturer of a large variety of components. Whereas, Toyota is a LOW-mix HIGH-volume manufacturer of a few assembled products. Consequently, while it is easy to recognize “Value Streams” at Toyota and many of their Tier 1 suppliers, this is a challenge in the case of a Jobshop where 100’s, if not 1000’s, of different routings need to be grouped into process families.”

Steve will be speaking on September 7, 2011 from 8:00am to 9:00am. He will discuss numerous ways that using technology can cut overhead expenses as well as facilitate Lean production in the shop.

Topics will include:

• Utilizing standard software and computers to a greater extent than the typical machine shop

• Document Management

• Corrective Actions Management

• Data Collection, Data Processing into Information for Decision Support and Information Transfer across the Shop

• Data Visualization
