ldquoFrom the Hopperrdquo By Vic Baez Triangle Tool CorporationPresidentrsquos Column
March 2009
During turbulent fi nancial times with mass layoffs educa-tion takes center stage In addition for some time there has been a disconnect between industries needs and workersrsquo abilities According the article ldquoAddressing Job-less Crisisrdquo ldquoEducation remains the best cure we knowrdquo Milwaukee SPE has taken a pro-active role in promoting and funding educational endeavors Through our Educa-tion Section Committee and our Education Foundation Milwaukee SPE has given close to $3000000 last year to Wisconsin students and educational institutions Our focus is to continue this support and then some
This month we are bringing together state government and business leaders to openly discuss the state of the industry This is an open format designed for you to interact with the panel and ask the questions that will hopefully provide you a better understanding on what local government and good companies are doing to retain business and employees here in Wisconsin
Following this we head to the April meeting where the focus will be
(1) our annual materials auction where proceeds will go directly to fund our sections education focus and
(2) education and career night This year we are very pleased to have Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker as keynote speaker Additionally we will have the statersquos top education and career resources discussing opportuni-ties for students displaced workers and those currently employed who are seeking more training and education
So here is a statistic that you can use ndash 100 of you will succeed if you put your mind to it Your Milwaukee SPE is here to help Good luck and as always ndash enjoy the day

Itrsquos that simple
In hard times the best survival strategy is to not only be the best supplier to your current customers but also be visible to as many other potential customers as possible If the customer likes what they see yoursquoll at least get an invitation to bid
Buyers are faced with the constant problem of fi nding lsquogoodrsquo molders Molders face a similar problem fi nding lsquogoodrsquo customers Buyers want molders who can meet their delivery requirements They want someone who can produce the proper amounts with a history of delivering on time and a track record of consistent quality
Itrsquos an interesting problem I think I might have an answer At the end of this article is a link to a lsquocompany evaluationrsquo spreadsheet If your company would like to be listed fi ll in the information and e-mail it back to me Irsquoll post it on WJT Associatesrsquo website FOR FREE and Irsquoll mention the link to company listings in every newsletter It will remain there until yoursquod like to update the information or want to delete it
There is a section on the spreadsheet for the companyrsquos delivery performance record It is a self audit I donrsquot intend to check up on your data but I do ask that if somebody does want to check you let them The object here is that if yoursquore proud of your quality and delivery record this is part of your competitive advantage
I send the newsletter to 22000+ addresses that are both customers and manufacturers of molded products Listing your company should have these effects
1 Potential customers will have the opportunity to see who you are and your capabilities
2 Buyers will be able to have a better selection of molders by comparing capabilities and performance
3 Molders can compare themselves to their competition
4 This can be used as an internal tool for a company to measure its supply base
The evaluation spreadsheet can be obtained by pointing your browser to httpwjtassociatescomsitewp-contentuploads200902company-evaluationxls You can also go to wwwwjtassociatescom and click on the Listing of Molders link in the left hand column
This is a large and probably slow project It will take time to complete the information Irsquoll post it as soon as I receive the information I would encourage your participation The more companies on the listing the better for everyone
Thanking you in advance

Our last meeting was held on Feb 19th at the Sheraton Brookfi eld and had another good turnout of over 60 in at-tendance Martin Pottle was the speaker and traveled to our meeting from Rhode Island The meeting topic was ldquoThe Value of Marketing Your Company Any Time and Especially in a Down Economy Things You Can Do Now to Make a Differencerdquo The topic brought interest from a diverse audience including molders mold builders and OEMrsquos This meeting was a bargain considering that to attend a seminar with this caliber of speaker would be well over $100
Martin had valuable examples and ideas from his vast experience in the plastics industry He gave the group great Marketing Tips that can be done today and in the next 30days to help build sales in this tough economy including ways to improve your Web site Many of his ideas were low cost Everyone that attended was given valuable printed hand outs with Marketing ideas and ac-tion items that work

Town Hall MeetingsTown meeting is a form of local government practiced in the US region of New England since colonial times and in some western states since at least the late 19th century Typically conducted by New England towns town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies such as school districts or water districts While the uses and laws vary from state to state the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body voting on operating bud-gets laws and other matters for the communityrsquos operation over the following 12 months
Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo

ldquoFrom the Hopperrdquo By Vic Baez Triangle Tool CorporationPresidentrsquos Column
March 2009
During turbulent fi nancial times with mass layoffs educa-tion takes center stage In addition for some time there has been a disconnect between industries needs and workersrsquo abilities According the article ldquoAddressing Job-less Crisisrdquo ldquoEducation remains the best cure we knowrdquo Milwaukee SPE has taken a pro-active role in promoting and funding educational endeavors Through our Educa-tion Section Committee and our Education Foundation Milwaukee SPE has given close to $3000000 last year to Wisconsin students and educational institutions Our focus is to continue this support and then some
This month we are bringing together state government and business leaders to openly discuss the state of the industry This is an open format designed for you to interact with the panel and ask the questions that will hopefully provide you a better understanding on what local government and good companies are doing to retain business and employees here in Wisconsin
Following this we head to the April meeting where the focus will be
(1) our annual materials auction where proceeds will go directly to fund our sections education focus and
(2) education and career night This year we are very pleased to have Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker as keynote speaker Additionally we will have the statersquos top education and career resources discussing opportuni-ties for students displaced workers and those currently employed who are seeking more training and education
So here is a statistic that you can use ndash 100 of you will succeed if you put your mind to it Your Milwaukee SPE is here to help Good luck and as always ndash enjoy the day

Itrsquos that simple
In hard times the best survival strategy is to not only be the best supplier to your current customers but also be visible to as many other potential customers as possible If the customer likes what they see yoursquoll at least get an invitation to bid
Buyers are faced with the constant problem of fi nding lsquogoodrsquo molders Molders face a similar problem fi nding lsquogoodrsquo customers Buyers want molders who can meet their delivery requirements They want someone who can produce the proper amounts with a history of delivering on time and a track record of consistent quality
Itrsquos an interesting problem I think I might have an answer At the end of this article is a link to a lsquocompany evaluationrsquo spreadsheet If your company would like to be listed fi ll in the information and e-mail it back to me Irsquoll post it on WJT Associatesrsquo website FOR FREE and Irsquoll mention the link to company listings in every newsletter It will remain there until yoursquod like to update the information or want to delete it
There is a section on the spreadsheet for the companyrsquos delivery performance record It is a self audit I donrsquot intend to check up on your data but I do ask that if somebody does want to check you let them The object here is that if yoursquore proud of your quality and delivery record this is part of your competitive advantage
I send the newsletter to 22000+ addresses that are both customers and manufacturers of molded products Listing your company should have these effects
1 Potential customers will have the opportunity to see who you are and your capabilities
2 Buyers will be able to have a better selection of molders by comparing capabilities and performance
3 Molders can compare themselves to their competition
4 This can be used as an internal tool for a company to measure its supply base
The evaluation spreadsheet can be obtained by pointing your browser to httpwjtassociatescomsitewp-contentuploads200902company-evaluationxls You can also go to wwwwjtassociatescom and click on the Listing of Molders link in the left hand column
This is a large and probably slow project It will take time to complete the information Irsquoll post it as soon as I receive the information I would encourage your participation The more companies on the listing the better for everyone
Thanking you in advance

Martin had valuable examples and ideas from his vast experience in the plastics industry He gave the group great Marketing Tips that can be done today and in the next 30days to help build sales in this tough economy including ways to improve your Web site Many of his ideas were low cost Everyone that attended was given valuable printed hand outs with Marketing ideas and ac-tion items that work
Martin also made himself available after the meeting to answer additional questions and help with Marketing and Sales questions To survive in this economy you have to be proactive

Town Hall MeetingsTown meeting is a form of local government practiced in the US region of New England since colonial times and in some western states since at least the late 19th century Typically conducted by New England towns town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies such as school districts or water districts While the uses and laws vary from state to state the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body voting on operating bud-gets laws and other matters for the communityrsquos operation over the following 12 months
Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo

Itrsquos that simple
In hard times the best survival strategy is to not only be the best supplier to your current customers but also be visible to as many other potential customers as possible If the customer likes what they see yoursquoll at least get an invitation to bid
Buyers are faced with the constant problem of fi nding lsquogoodrsquo molders Molders face a similar problem fi nding lsquogoodrsquo customers Buyers want molders who can meet their delivery requirements They want someone who can produce the proper amounts with a history of delivering on time and a track record of consistent quality
Itrsquos an interesting problem I think I might have an answer At the end of this article is a link to a lsquocompany evaluationrsquo spreadsheet If your company would like to be listed fi ll in the information and e-mail it back to me Irsquoll post it on WJT Associatesrsquo website FOR FREE and Irsquoll mention the link to company listings in every newsletter It will remain there until yoursquod like to update the information or want to delete it
There is a section on the spreadsheet for the companyrsquos delivery performance record It is a self audit I donrsquot intend to check up on your data but I do ask that if somebody does want to check you let them The object here is that if yoursquore proud of your quality and delivery record this is part of your competitive advantage
I send the newsletter to 22000+ addresses that are both customers and manufacturers of molded products Listing your company should have these effects
1 Potential customers will have the opportunity to see who you are and your capabilities
2 Buyers will be able to have a better selection of molders by comparing capabilities and performance
3 Molders can compare themselves to their competition
4 This can be used as an internal tool for a company to measure its supply base
The evaluation spreadsheet can be obtained by pointing your browser to httpwjtassociatescomsitewp-contentuploads200902company-evaluationxls You can also go to wwwwjtassociatescom and click on the Listing of Molders link in the left hand column
This is a large and probably slow project It will take time to complete the information Irsquoll post it as soon as I receive the information I would encourage your participation The more companies on the listing the better for everyone
Thanking you in advance

By Ray CiezkiMeeting Wrap Up for February 19th 2009

Town Hall MeetingsTown meeting is a form of local government practiced in the US region of New England since colonial times and in some western states since at least the late 19th century Typically conducted by New England towns town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies such as school districts or water districts While the uses and laws vary from state to state the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body voting on operating bud-gets laws and other matters for the communityrsquos operation over the following 12 months
Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo

Itrsquos that simple
In hard times the best survival strategy is to not only be the best supplier to your current customers but also be visible to as many other potential customers as possible If the customer likes what they see yoursquoll at least get an invitation to bid
Buyers are faced with the constant problem of fi nding lsquogoodrsquo molders Molders face a similar problem fi nding lsquogoodrsquo customers Buyers want molders who can meet their delivery requirements They want someone who can produce the proper amounts with a history of delivering on time and a track record of consistent quality
Itrsquos an interesting problem I think I might have an answer At the end of this article is a link to a lsquocompany evaluationrsquo spreadsheet If your company would like to be listed fi ll in the information and e-mail it back to me Irsquoll post it on WJT Associatesrsquo website FOR FREE and Irsquoll mention the link to company listings in every newsletter It will remain there until yoursquod like to update the information or want to delete it
There is a section on the spreadsheet for the companyrsquos delivery performance record It is a self audit I donrsquot intend to check up on your data but I do ask that if somebody does want to check you let them The object here is that if yoursquore proud of your quality and delivery record this is part of your competitive advantage
I send the newsletter to 22000+ addresses that are both customers and manufacturers of molded products Listing your company should have these effects
1 Potential customers will have the opportunity to see who you are and your capabilities
2 Buyers will be able to have a better selection of molders by comparing capabilities and performance
3 Molders can compare themselves to their competition
4 This can be used as an internal tool for a company to measure its supply base
The evaluation spreadsheet can be obtained by pointing your browser to httpwjtassociatescomsitewp-contentuploads200902company-evaluationxls You can also go to wwwwjtassociatescom and click on the Listing of Molders link in the left hand column
This is a large and probably slow project It will take time to complete the information Irsquoll post it as soon as I receive the information I would encourage your participation The more companies on the listing the better for everyone
Thanking you in advance

Town Hall MeetingsTown meeting is a form of local government practiced in the US region of New England since colonial times and in some western states since at least the late 19th century Typically conducted by New England towns town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies such as school districts or water districts While the uses and laws vary from state to state the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body voting on operating bud-gets laws and other matters for the communityrsquos operation over the following 12 months
Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo

Itrsquos that simple
In hard times the best survival strategy is to not only be the best supplier to your current customers but also be visible to as many other potential customers as possible If the customer likes what they see yoursquoll at least get an invitation to bid
Buyers are faced with the constant problem of fi nding lsquogoodrsquo molders Molders face a similar problem fi nding lsquogoodrsquo customers Buyers want molders who can meet their delivery requirements They want someone who can produce the proper amounts with a history of delivering on time and a track record of consistent quality
Itrsquos an interesting problem I think I might have an answer At the end of this article is a link to a lsquocompany evaluationrsquo spreadsheet If your company would like to be listed fi ll in the information and e-mail it back to me Irsquoll post it on WJT Associatesrsquo website FOR FREE and Irsquoll mention the link to company listings in every newsletter It will remain there until yoursquod like to update the information or want to delete it
There is a section on the spreadsheet for the companyrsquos delivery performance record It is a self audit I donrsquot intend to check up on your data but I do ask that if somebody does want to check you let them The object here is that if yoursquore proud of your quality and delivery record this is part of your competitive advantage
I send the newsletter to 22000+ addresses that are both customers and manufacturers of molded products Listing your company should have these effects
1 Potential customers will have the opportunity to see who you are and your capabilities
2 Buyers will be able to have a better selection of molders by comparing capabilities and performance
3 Molders can compare themselves to their competition

Town Hall MeetingsTown meeting is a form of local government practiced in the US region of New England since colonial times and in some western states since at least the late 19th century Typically conducted by New England towns town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies such as school districts or water districts While the uses and laws vary from state to state the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body voting on operating bud-gets laws and other matters for the communityrsquos operation over the following 12 months
Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo

Itrsquos that simple
In hard times the best survival strategy is to not only be the best supplier to your current customers but also be visible to as many other potential customers as possible If the customer likes what they see yoursquoll at least get an invitation to bid
Buyers are faced with the constant problem of fi nding lsquogoodrsquo molders Molders face a similar problem fi nding lsquogoodrsquo customers Buyers want molders who can meet their delivery requirements They want someone who can produce the proper amounts with a history of delivering on time and a track record of consistent quality
Itrsquos an interesting problem I think I might have an answer At the end of this article is a link to a lsquocompany evaluationrsquo spreadsheet If your company would like to be listed fi ll in the information and e-mail it back to me Irsquoll post it on WJT Associatesrsquo website FOR FREE and Irsquoll mention the link to company listings in every newsletter It will remain there until yoursquod like to update the information or want to delete it
There is a section on the spreadsheet for the companyrsquos delivery performance record It is a self audit I donrsquot intend to check up on your data but I do ask that if somebody does want to check you let them The object here is that if yoursquore proud of your quality and delivery record this is part of your competitive advantage
I send the newsletter to 22000+ addresses that are both customers and manufacturers of molded products Listing your company should have these effects
1 Potential customers will have the opportunity to see who you are and your capabilities
2 Buyers will be able to have a better selection of molders by comparing capabilities and performance
3 Molders can compare themselves to their competition

Town Hall MeetingsTown meeting is a form of local government practiced in the US region of New England since colonial times and in some western states since at least the late 19th century Typically conducted by New England towns town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies such as school districts or water districts While the uses and laws vary from state to state the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body voting on operating bud-gets laws and other matters for the communityrsquos operation over the following 12 months
Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo

Town Hall MeetingsTown meeting is a form of local government practiced in the US region of New England since colonial times and in some western states since at least the late 19th century Typically conducted by New England towns town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies such as school districts or water districts While the uses and laws vary from state to state the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body voting on operating bud-gets laws and other matters for the communityrsquos operation over the following 12 months
Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo

Town Hall MeetingsTown meeting is a form of local government practiced in the US region of New England since colonial times and in some western states since at least the late 19th century Typically conducted by New England towns town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies such as school districts or water districts While the uses and laws vary from state to state the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body voting on operating bud-gets laws and other matters for the communityrsquos operation over the following 12 months
Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo

Our last meeting was held on Feb 19th at the Sheraton Brookfi eld and had another good turnout of over 60 in at-tendance Martin Pottle was the speaker and traveled to our meeting from Rhode Island The meeting topic was ldquoThe Value of Marketing Your Company Any Time and Especially in a Down Economy Things You Can Do Now to Make a Differencerdquo The topic brought interest from a diverse audience including molders mold builders and OEMrsquos This meeting was a bargain considering that to attend a seminar with this caliber of speaker would be well over $100
Martin had valuable examples and ideas from his vast experience in the plastics industry He gave the group great Marketing Tips that can be done today and in the next 30days to help build sales in this tough economy including ways to improve your Web site Many of his ideas were low cost Everyone that attended was given valuable printed hand outs with Marketing ideas and ac-tion items that work
Martin also made himself available after the meeting to answer additional questions and help with Marketing and Sales questions To survive in this economy you have to be proactive

Town Hall MeetingsTown meeting is a form of local government practiced in the US region of New England since colonial times and in some western states since at least the late 19th century Typically conducted by New England towns town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies such as school districts or water districts While the uses and laws vary from state to state the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body voting on operating bud-gets laws and other matters for the communityrsquos operation over the following 12 months
Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo

Town Hall MeetingsTown meeting is a form of local government practiced in the US region of New England since colonial times and in some western states since at least the late 19th century Typically conducted by New England towns town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies such as school districts or water districts While the uses and laws vary from state to state the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body voting on operating bud-gets laws and other matters for the communityrsquos operation over the following 12 months
Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo

Its usage in the English language can also cause confu-sion Town meeting is both an event as in ldquoFreetown had its town meeting last Tuesdayrdquo and an entity as in ldquoLast Tuesday Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Roadrdquo Starting with Jimmy Carterrsquos presidential campaign in 1976 ldquotown meetingrdquo has also been used as a label for any moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited as in ldquoJohn Kerry held a town meeting with voters to discuss issues in the upcoming electionrdquo To avoid confu-sion this sort of event is often called a ldquotown hall meetingrdquo
