Weldmation Allies with HireVeterans.com

By Brian Kilne

Technology Development

As part of Weldmation’s efforts to remain a Best-in-Class provider of Assembly Machinery for metals-based assemblies in the North American automotive, defense, heavy equipment and consumer products industries, they are committed to offering the very best process and technology solutions to their customers.

One of the newest and most exciting technology advancements available on the market is the Super-MIG™ System. It is a new, innovative robotic welding technology developed by combining two reliable standard welding processes, plasma arc and MIG arc, into one hybrid process. This system is available through their corporate family partner via Welding Solutions Inc. (WSI). Welding Solutions Inc. (WSI) was established in 2004 to exclusively market, integrate and service the Super-MIG™ products and processes developed and manufactured by Plasma Laser Technologies, Inc.

WSI employs highly-educated welding experts working in a state-of-the-art laboratory, and offers weld consulting, weld process development, and prototype welding applications. To reach it's goals and mission, Weldmation has allied with HireVeterans.com, one of America's premier Job Boards for U.S. Veterans.

Weldmation Project Management

Their project management system is derived from the processes found in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®). They provide a fully documented methodology available on-line internally to all of their project participants including: procedures, flowcharts, work instructions, checklists, meeting agendas, gate reviews, forms, and reports. Three main features combine to make their project management system highly effective for their ultimate customers and for their internal customers throughout all phases and processes of each project:

Project Manager

A project manager is assigned to each project who will be the clients single-point of accountability and is responsible for contract compliance and change management. This assures that all customer requirements are understood, communicated, and satisfied. An open issues and corrective action matrix will be maintained and published on-line allowing continuous communication flow. Weldmation project managers work closely with all operational departments to ensure that each phase of the project is planned and implemented according to schedule with appropriate resources all while maintaining our high standards for quality and craftsmanship.

Project Management Office

Their methodology relies on the services provided by their Project Management Office (PMO). This department is integrated with their Information Technology department to harvest the synergy generated during the development, support, and implementation of their digital tools, reports and procedures. There are three main processes utilized by the PMO:

Scope Development

Members of the PMO work closely with the project manager and other operational department representatives to develop a comprehensive work breakdown structure for each project. This effort will decompose the project into individual shop orders complete with task descriptions, resource requirements, and budgets for commercial items.

Schedule Development

All Weldmation project schedules are created using Primavera®. They draw from a library of task and subnet templates to create an individual schedule for each shop order then combine them together to form a baseline schedule for the entire project that satisfies all customer requirements and milestones. This baseline schedule then becomes a database of information including: departmental task lists, resource requirements, major milestones, cash flow requirements, departmental interface points, and other reports & lists. Further, this detail schedule integrates with their purchasing system to provide material requirement dates by shop order for each commodity type.

Project Control

Each Monday, project participants report their task progress from the prior work week. This information is measured against the baseline schedule and variances are identified, classified (yellow, blue, red), and reported during the weekly Project Status Review meeting attended by their entire operations management team. Action items and recovery plans, when required, are discussed, authorized, and documented for those tasks and projects with red status. Their process of managing variances and the critical path allows their management team to focus on potential problem tasks early enough in the schedule to avoid downstream schedule delays.

Entering its eleventh year with a three-year growth rate of 514.4% and 150 employees, 21CSI has offices in nine states supporting government and private-sector clients.

21CSI was formed in April 1996 to answer the question whether intelligent software agents and humans working together could do better than either one group working alone. Ten years and 150 employees later, the answer was a resounding "Yes!"

They deliver decision support software to help operators manage complex, high-stress, rapidly changing environments through sound, computer-assisted data monitoring and decision making. We provide real-time actionable knowledge to the commander. Intelligent agents embedded in the systems enable the software to adapt, respond, and learn from individual users in a variety of situations.

The technology was deployed in 2004 to Camp Fallujah, Iraq for two years. In 2006, the Marines asked 21CSI to conduct further development, and this year, the Marine Corps committed funds to conduct further development and testing.
• The SentinelNet maritime force protection command and control software was selected by the Navy as the integrating software for a swimmer detection system currently being developed and tested.

Maryland, with a population estimated over 5,500,000 people is a dynamic state located in the Mid Atlantic region of the United States, bordering Virginia and West Virginia to the south and west, Pennsylvania to the north, and Delaware to the east. Historically it was part of the Chesapeake Colonies where planters cultivated tobacco.

It was the seventh state to ratify the United States Constitution and bears two nicknames, the Old Line State and the Free State. Its history as a border state has led it to exhibit characteristics of both the Northern and Southern regions of the United States.

Pinkerton's experience and reputation as a provider of consistent, high quality security services have resulted in PGS being the preferred provider of cleared security services across the country.

Veterans Get Jobs at iGPS

Innovative Supplier Hiring Veterans Now!

iGPS Joins HireVeterans.com

by Marcy Bulstrom

Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS Company LLC) is revolutionizing the world's supply chain by providing manufacturers, suppliers and shippers of unitized loads with the world's first RFID-tagged all-plastic pallet pool. Manufactured to exacting standards, iGPS's pallets are edge rackable, lightweight, extremely durable, consistent in size, hygienic, and – thanks to embedded RFID tags – fully traceable.

Headquartered in Orlando, Florida with operations in Dallas, Texas, New York and Bentonville, AR, iGPS is now hiring to fill the needs of the new demand created by its forward thinking innovative products. To meet the hiring challenges, iGPS has partnered with HireVeterans.com, an industry leading job board for U.S. Veterans.

What does iGPS offer?

iGPS is leading a paradigm shift in the pallet-rental business from wood to plastic pallets with radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking capabilities. As the world's first and only large-scale supplier of an all-plastic RFID-tagged pallet pool, iGPS's business model provides manufacturers and retailers with compelling advantages:

What are the advantages of iGPS's pallet vs. wood?

iGPS's plastic pallets are far superior to the best wood alternatives.

• Weight. Weighing in at less than 50 lbs, iGPS pallets are 30% lighter than the typical multi-use wood pallet. This 25-pound weight savings per-pallet makes our pallets easier to handle and saves up to a total of 540 to 15,390 lbs per truckload, which translates into tremendous fuel and transport savings.
• Durability. iGPS pallets are the only in the world that weigh less than 50 lbs, meet both GMA and ISO 8611-3 requirements, and easily hold 2,800 lbs (edge rackable). Already in use at Fortune 100 companies nationwide, our pallets have passed every test and challenge they have been subjected to and continue to demonstrate durability everyday in the supply chain.
• Contents protection. Our pallets feature 100% top-deck coverage, providing greater rigidity and contents protection than the typical multi-use wood pallet, which has, at most, 87% top deck coverage.
• Uniform size, shape and weight. Unlike wood pallets, our pallets are consistent in appearance and performance. With no broken boards or protruding nails, iGPS pallets work superbly in automated environments.
• Hygiene. Unlike wood pallets, which readily absorb liquids and can provide a breeding ground for bacteria, iGPS pallets are impervious to liquids and do not present a health risk. They are cleaned with simple detergent and water. In addition, iGPS pallets do not need to undergo heat treatment (which can result in mildew) or fumigation with methyl bromide.
• Fire Safety. Our pallets have undergone extensive testing and have received UL 2335 and FM Approvals 4996 certification. This certification means that the fire performance of iGPS pallets is equal or superior to wood, and that they are fully compliant with NFPA 13 fire sprinkler standards.
• RFID. Each iGPS pallet is has four identical RFID tags embedded in its frame, enabling shipment tracking in real time.
• Environmentally Responsible. iGPS’s business model has been created with sustainability as a cornerstone. Our pallets are 100% recyclable. Should a pallet become damaged, it will be ground and remolded into a new pallet, as permitted by Underwriters Laboratories, making its lifespan indefinite.

PALLET POOLING

iGPS offers businesses the ability to rent the exact number of pallets they need, rather than having to stock for peak seasons and keeping idle pallets in storage. Companies can easily upgrade to iGPS's system and avoid the expense of purchasing and maintaining a pallet inventory.

Renting Versus Owning
By renting plastic pallets from iGPS's shared pool, businesses can focus their capital expenditures and day-to-day supply-chain operations on their core business and eliminate the expensive distraction of owning and maintaining an inventory of pallets. Importantly, companies that have been using wood pallets – which are difficult to RFID-tag and trace – can readily upgrade to iGPS's system and begin tracking shipments in real time.

How Pallet Pooling Works
Under a pooled system, manufacturers, distributors and retailers rent – rather than own – their pallets; the pallets are owned by iGPS. The pooled pallet system works as follows:

* The manufacturer notifies iGPS of a required shipment.
* iGPS issues ready-for-use plastic pallets to the manufacturing facility in truckload quantities.
* The manufacturer palletizes their product onto the platform and ships it down the distributor network.
* Distributors receive the pallets and either store the products in warehouses or use the pallets to move products to the retailer.
* Once the pallets have been emptied at a retail outlet, the distributor relocates the pallets to their distribution centers.
* Pallets are accumulated at the distribution center and the distributor returns the pallets to iGPS.
* iGPS inspects the pallets and prepares the pallets for reissue.
