It is a very busy time in the M&A world. Many
owners in the electronics industry, especially

Trouble in Your Tank: Training Your Team
and Tools for Success E
Columnists were asked to consider subjects
such as optimizing business processes and
strategy, process optimization, and training
your team. From my view, developing criti-

Increasing Productivity
Through Training E
Too oen when we think of training our man-
ufacturing workforce, we focus on the shop
floor. We look for opportunities mainly with
those who are doing the making. We need to
cast a wider gaze as the manufacturing process
is not limited to the manufacturing floor. Qual-
ity, engineering, sales and marketing, logistics,
and even accounting/finance are all part of the
process that starts with a business plan and cul-
minates with your trinket in the hands of your
happy customer. All departments make up that
"well-oiled machine."
