Die US Selbstindustrie beginnt, sein Comeback zu bilden. Die US Abteilung der Energie hat die ersten Darlehen von den $25-billion neue Technologie-Trägern zugesprochen, die Darlehen-Programm autorisiert von Congress, um die US zu stützen herstellen Herstellung der Energiesparenden Autos und der Automobilbestandteile:
- Ford Motor Co. wurde $5.9 Milliarde zu den retool Fabriken in Illinois, in Kentucky, in Michigan, in Missouri und in Ohio bewilligt, zum der fuel-efficient Träger herzustellen.
- Nissan Nordamerika empfing $1.6 Milliarde zum retool sein Smyrna, Tennessee Produktionsanlage, um elektrische Träger zu produzieren.
- Tesla Motoren erhielten $465 Million für Produktion der vorgerückten elektrischen Träger in Kalifornien.
Andere Zeichen der Industriewiederaufnahme schließen Gestamp Corporations Investition $90 Million in einem Chattanooga, Tennessee ein, das Betrieb stempelt, um Teile für Volkswagens neue mittler-sortierte sedan und Ralco Industrien zu produzieren' $6.4 Million Expansion seines Pontiacs, Michigan Service, um Produktion der geschweißten Baugruppen zu erhöhen für die Selbstindustrie.
Es ist eine Entlastung sehen schließlich den ersten Twitch des Lebens in den US Selbstindustrie. Und es ist aufregend, zu sehen die Industrie retooling für, was verspricht, eine robuste Zukunft zu sein. Aber zusammen mit dem Vorwärts-Denken ändert in ihrer Produktserie, die Selbstindustrie sollte Innovation änderungen in ihrer Produktion Praxis einführen. Retooling Initiativen sollten Handhabungsgeräte des Inhalierstoffs auf dem Fließband, auf Betriebsfußböden und in den Fabrikspeicherlosen mit einschließen, um den Schutz der Arbeiter' Gesundheit und Sicherheit sicherzustellen. Die Arbeiter, die Zugeständnisse in der Bezahlung und in den Nutzen für die Gesundheit die Selbstfirmen lebendig halten ließen zu verdienen, in einem Klima zu arbeiten, das gute Gesundheit fördert. Die Bürger, die das Bargeld zur Verfügung stellten, daß die Regierung verwendet, die Darlehen zu finanzieren, die neues Leben in die Selbstindustrie springen-beginnen, verdienen, zu wissen, daß jedes mögliche Maß, einen finanziell mageren Herstellung Betrieb zu verursachen genommen wird. Handhabungsgeräte des Inhalierstoffs erreichen beide Ziele.

sind ergonomisch entworfen, die kostspieligen und lähmenden musculoskeletal Verletzungen zu verhindern. Ergonomic equipment and practices have been proven to cut production time and costs, protect workers’ health and safety, improve worker morale, and significantly reduce the musculoskeletal injury expenses that cost U.S. businesses more than $150 billion each year. Including ergonomics in auto industry retooling efforts just makes sense — for the auto industry, for workers, and for taxpayers.

This week we’ve been talking about what it will take to survive in today’s challenging economy. We’ve shared marketing ideas from industry experts and our own playbook that have allowed companies to not only survive past economic downturns but thrive in highly competitive markets. The secret to survival in a bear economy is to develop a corporate attitude that is innovative enough to envision new applications for your products, flexible enough to act quickly when a new opportunity presents itself, and customer-oriented enough to anticipate customer needs and respond quickly to customer requests. Our ability to succeed in these areas has made DJ Products a nationwide leader in the innovative design and manufacture of ergonomic motorized carts and powered cart movers.
Through the example of our own company’s experiences, we’d like to demonstrate how businesses can apply the principles of innovation, flexibility and customer service to survive today and position themselves to thrive tomorrow.
Innovation. Innovators in the material handling field, DJ Products realized the value of ergonomic design before it became a popular cause. We realized that ergonomics was likely to become increasingly important as a worker health and safety issue with the power to drastically reduce health care, insurance, disability and workers’ compensation costs. But beyond that, we saw in ergonomics the potential to improve the speed and efficiency of production across a broad range of business environments.
Flexibility. DJ Products has exhibited the flexibility to imagine and develop new markets for products originally designed primarily for industrial settings. The most compact, light-weight versions of our CartCaddy movers are employed daily in health care and hospitality settings. Their small size and easy maneuverability in tight spaces makes them perfect for crowded hospital corridors and hotel hallways. We’ve found applications for our motorized car/truck pushers in the boating industries and recently designed a specialized version for use by auto racing pit crews.
Customer Service. We’re Old School in our belief that customer service must always be our first priority. We pride ourselves on our ability to customize our products to meet specific customer needs. We’re so convinced you’ll like our products, we offer a free trial program before you buy.
Take a page from the DJ Products’ handbook. Companies that emphasize innovation, flexibility and customer service will survive and can even thrive in these challenging economic times.

Customer manufacturing may be a way for U.S. manufacturers to hold on to and even increase their marketshare and margin, Thomas Cutler wrote in a recent issue of Manufacturing & Technology eJournal. The ability to meet your customer’s engineer-to-order (ETO), build-to-order (BTO) and assemble-to-order (ATO) demands is one way to differentiate yourself from your competition. By building or redesigning products to meet customer specifications, you create a niche for yourself in today’s challenging industrial market and build customer relationships that can’t be easily transferred to competitors.
“Standard products are the easiest targets for competitors to attack,” Dennis Parass of Burlington, Ontario’s Questica told Cutler. “If the client feels that there are a number of alternatives, there is a devaluation of the supplier and profit margins fall.”
Clients value and are often willing to pay more for the problem-solving skills needed to redesign standard products to meet specific needs. “Successful ETO or customer manufacturing companies develop relationships with their clients who value the expertise they bring to a project,” Parass told Cutler. “They differentiate competitors and force the client to weigh more than just the ‘economics’ in making a choice. The margins are better. Reputations are built on successful projects with happy clients and the value of references cannot be overemphasized.”
Industry experts predict an increase in ETO manufacturing in coming months. DJ Products has long recognized the advantages and necessity of offering ETO services to our customers. We’re experienced at working with our customers to design solutions that meet their specific needs. Many of our ergonomically-designed carts, movers and tugs are adaptable to a variety of specific needs. Our innovative designs are engineered to help our customers get the greatest and most flexible use from their equipment. Recently, we came out with a motorized retrofit cart kit that allows you to instantly power all your carts with a simple, easy-to-install kit.
Our RaceCarCaddy, a redesign of our popular vehicle pusher, is manufactured to meet the specific needs of the race car industry. Our CartCaddyShorty Power Tugger features a spring hitch option and customized tugger attachment that eliminates the need to fabricate multiple attachments on each of your carts or equipment. We’ve created a variety of specialized attachments that allow instant customization of our standard products. But we also regularly design specific custom applications where our base products don’t match customer criteria. Call DJ Products’ sales engineer to discuss your ETO needs.
