Indirect Cost Savings of Tool Inventory Control

By Anna Notton

Tool Inventory Control has long been recognized as a means of protecting investments and controlling costs in business settings. Management software in use today has several advantages, in addition to lowering purchase costs. An atmosphere of accountability and responsibility is created at a work site by using these devices.

These systems can discourage waste and cut expenditures on consumable materials by up to 40%. They can reduce the cost of replacing lost equipment by up to 75% and result in 40% savings in returnable items, including unused and defective items under warranty. A system can pay for itself within the first year.

There are additional benefits to knowing where equipment is at any given time, as well. Lost units are not productive. They may be found through the system and put back to work. Hoarding by employees will be eliminated through the use of due times. This will also make the employee more accountable for his work time resulting in more productive employees.

Tool inventory software can classify units according to use, assign to certain individuals, job sites, trucks, or boxes, and redirect to where needed, when needed. This allows a greater return on the money invested in the equipment. Unused items may be located and reassigned elsewhere. Productivity improves when the availability and using of the right implement for the job is ensured. The use of the wrong one because the right one was unavailable is often the cause of damaged or destroyed implements.

Repair costs may be tracked and scheduled maintenance or calibration monitored so that they occur on schedule. Failure to perform maintenance decreases the life of equipment. Improperly calibrated equipment will not perform optimally and will result in defective product or work.

Replacement of damaged, worn out, and lost items can occur quickly. Information including a description and photo of the item, purchase date and amount, vendor, manufacturer, warranty, and maintenance can all be easily tracked and accessed in one place.

The reports that are generated through the management software can be invaluable. It can pinpoint all sorts of losses. Causes of loss could be specific individuals who habitually damage, loose, misplace, or possibly steal equipment. Individual equipment could develop a history of defect, misuse or lack of use and should be replaced or eliminated. Shortages or over purchases will be highlighted and corrected.

Using these systems in a work environment tends to create a completely different culture. Employees will develop a habit of being accountable and organized. Time and effort need not be expended tracking down items. Investigations to determine who was responsible for missing pieces will be easy, short, and conclusive. No one need be wrongfully or mistakenly suspected or accused to theft or loss. Employees will appreciate having the right equipment available for their use.

Tool Inventory Control through the use of tool tracking software is a valuable, cost saving strategy. It can also result in several indirect or unanticipated cost savings. This technology can create a more productive and honest work culture and ethic at construction sites, manufacturing plants, and maintenance or repair shops.

How Lead Crystal Is Made

By Bonnie Spring

Composition

Lead crystal glass is made from a mixture of sand, potash and lead oxide. The type of lead crystal glass is determined by a British specification (BS 3828: 1964) for each type. Lead crystal glass contains a minimum lead oxide content of 24% and is produced primarily for its beauty of appearance. Full lead crystal glass contains higher amounts of lead oxide usually not less than 30%. This higher content of lead oxide enhances the beauty of the item but it is more costly to manufacture.

The Glass Workshop

The workshop where the lead crystal glass making is done is an interesting scene. Workers are stationed in groups around the furnace where the glass is melted. Each group is known as a “chair” and consists of 4 or 5 persons: The “workman”, who is the principal, two who are known as “foot maker” and “servitor” – and one or two boys who are employed in what we would call “gofer” positions. A certain part of the work is assigned to each member of the group, according to the design of the item on which the “chair” is making.

Any lead crystal figurine or other piece begins as a ball of molten glass. This ball is drawn from the pot on the end of a blow-iron, which is a steel tube about 4 ft. long. It is constantly rotated in order to distribute the glass evenly. The molten glass is rolled on a polished iron table to smooth the surface. The glassworker now blows through the tube and the hot glass forms into a hollow sphere. By turning, tilting and swinging the molten glass on the tube the shape begins to develop. The glass is further created as the iron is rolled up and down on the arms of the glassmaker’s chair. Few tools are used in this process – a steel pincers, calipers, shears, wooden measuring sticks and clappers. Once a stem and foot are added to the piece being made it is transferred for further working to steel rod called a pontil, the end of which it is attached by a blob of hot glass. The glass is re-melting before excessive glass is sheared away from the item being made and any final touches are given. The still glowing article is cracked off the rod, dropped into a carrying case and transported to a “lehr” or annealing oven.

Annealing

The annealing oven is a long chamber through which the glass is slowly carried, passing little by little from a high temperature to the ambient temperature of the workshop. This is necessary because the glass could cool too rapidly and shatter the item being created. When removed from the lehr, each article undergoes an examination for any defects. An instrument utilizing polarized light is used to reveal any imperfect annealing.

Cutting

Cutting is one of the more critical processes and calls for a very high degree of skill. Cutting is done by holding the lead crystal figurine against the edge of a revolving cutting wheel. The glass is carefully guided to produce some of the lovely and complex patterns that are possible. The number of patterns is infinite and in combination creates some beautiful effects. The pattern which has been designated on the glass “blank” by specially trained workers, is first roughly cut by the carborundum wheel. The glass is now ready for polishing.

Polishing

Polishing is done by placing the glass into a vat containing a mixture of hydrofluoric and sulphuric acid for about a minute. It is then thoroughly rinsed and the glass transforms into sparkling pieces of crystal.

This is the process that virtually any piece of lead crystal glass goes through before it becomes a beautiful piece of art. Throughout the years little in the process has changed.

You Can Say so Much With Corporate Crystal and Large Chandeliers

By Miles Lovegrove

Are you looking for that perfect corporate gift for a person in your family, a friend, or a business associate? Are you looking for a creative way to award your employees? If you are, then you do have a number of options. However, only one of those options is going to give you the reaction that you deserve when presenting a corporate gift and that is corporate crystal.

Corporate crysta and large chandeliers are very beautiful, which is something you probably don’t have to be told. Maybe you have been in someone’s office and you have seen an award made out of crystal that specifies a certain achievement. Maybe there are several awards and a corporate paperweight made of crystal. Crystal can be laser engraved to say whatever the presenter wants it to say.

For business purposes

Corporate crystal can be used for a number of business purposes just like large chandeliers. Those purposes include as awards and as great gifts. As mentioned before, there are trophies that can be made of corporate crystal. These are fantastic when pointing out a certain achievement. If an employee achieves top sales for the month of January, then the trophy can say something such as, “Top sales for January 2009” or something to that effect. You can actually present these monthly awards and then present an even bigger trophy made of corporate crystal to the person with the top annual sales at the end of the year.

You can also use corporate crystal to be a great gift for your employees. This means that you can give them corporate paperweights or other small items to place upon their desks. You may even wish to have an employee appreciation week and give all of your employees a corporate crystal item to show your appreciation. It is easy to see that the possibilities are virtually endless.

For personal reasons

If you won’t be using corporate crystal for business reasons, then you can use them for personal reasons as well. Maybe you can get dad his own personal award that says, “#1 Dad.” Maybe you could even get mom corporate crystal with a quote or a short poem on it to let her know how much she means to you. The same goes for any family member or your friends.

Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, achievements, and so much more can be great opportunities to present corporate crystal. These items are not just reserved for the business world. They are reserved for anyone who has a purpose for them and we all know that the purposes are many. It all depends on your imagination, but know if you’re ever hard up for a good gift idea, corporate crystal is a great route to take.

Both males and females love crystal, so it isn’t just something that is for one type of person. An individual can be a businessman or businesswoman, a housewife, a blue collar worker, a college student, a high school student, and so much more. Corporate crystal is wonderful for anyone for any occasion. So if you are trying to figure out what to give, you now have the perfect solution to that problem.

Promotional Crystal Makes Your Message Crystal Clear

By Matt Franks

When a company is looking for something nice to give to people who mean a lot to a company, they look at different things. They look at clocks and watches and other things that are valuable. They want to know that the person will know that they are valuable to the company through their gift. That is one reason why some companies are using promotional crystal.

There are a few reasons why promotional crystal is something that is good for companies to buy.

1. Its valuable

Promotional crystal is something that people know is valuable. When they see that they are being given a piece of promotional crystal, they know that they are a valued person to the company.

2. There are different types of promotional crystal

When a company is looking for branded crystal to give out to people, they are going to find that there are different types of printed crystal that they can choose from. There are quite a few different types, so they know they will be able to find something that they can afford and that fits their business.

Now that we know of two different reasons that a company turns to branded crystal for promoting their business, we’ll look at the different ways that a company can use printed crystal to promote their business.

1. Wedding gift

If there is an employee or a client that is getting married, it makes a really nice gift. It shows that the company knows what is going on in their lives and that they want to give them something to commemorate the occasion.

2. Milestone gift

Corporate crystal can also be a milestone gift for when an employee has been with the company for a certain amount of time. It shows them that the company appreciates what they have done and that they are thankful that they are a part of the business.

3. Client appreciation

A nice piece of corporate crystal can be a nice way to thank clients for their business and their loyalty to their company. Clients can be a great asset to a company, because not only do they enlist the company’s services but they also bring in more business by telling others about the company.

4. Employee recognition

Other than giving corporate crystal to employees for being at the company for a certain amount of time, you can also give them to someone who has done something incredible for the company.

Corporate crystal has plenty of good uses. It can be given to clients and employees for wedding gifts, to clients for appreciation for their business, and to employees as a recognition or milestone gift. Corporate crystal is something that is beautiful and shows people that they are appreciated. It’s something that is recognized as being valuable and something that people are going to love to get.

Promotional crystal is an item that will really show the company rewards its clients and employees and that they appreciate the work that they do. It makes their value ‘crystal clear’.
