Invest in Systemized Maintenance Training


The benefits of these hands-on training programs are tangible because the methods learned can be put to use almost immediately upon completion of the courses.

Budgeting for 2010?  ToolingDocs is setting the dates for its exclusive Maintenance Certification Training program, Level 1 – and the new Level 2 series.  Why not invest in systemized maintenance training and certifications that will pay dividends for years to come?   

The benefits of these hands-on training programs are tangible because the methods learned can be put to use almost immediately upon completion of the courses – just ask 2009 attendees that experienced the Maintenance Certification Level 1 training.

Eugene Hassam of Senninger Irrigation, Inc. told Operations Manager and Instructor Steve Johnson, “The course was put together well and what encouraged me most was how the instructors were able to relate and communicate with each of us at every level.  I left there with a feeling of ‘I have a number of things I can implement and I am looking forward to Level 2.’”  

“This is a program our industry needs,” stated Jeff Dininger of Automation Plastics.  “The things learned in this program can help companies regain a competitive edge and improve the economies of our companies.” 

Courses for the first quarter of 2010 are scheduled as follows: 

Level 1, ideal for those with at least one year of mold maintenance experience:

January 12 – 13  |  February 2 – 3  |  March 9 – 10

Level 2 will benefit those who have years of experience by introducing standardized, documented maintenance methodology:

February 23, 24 & 25   |   March 16, 17 & 18

“The new Level 2 Maintenance Certification program is a challenging curriculum that will include a lot of hands-on time to work on individually assigned, defective molds following the 8 Stages of Systemized Repair and Maintenance taught in the Level 1 class,” explains Johnson.  “Plus, each attendee will learn how to formulate and then actually create maintenance plans for those molds.” 

ToolingDocs requires that all Level 2 registrants have first completed the Level 1 Certification class – or tested out of it – and they must have a minimum of two years of actual bench experience.

New Year's Resolution: Efficient Mold Maintenance


Now is the time of year when companies look to implement improvements during year-end plant downtime. Also, budgets and planning for plant improvements are set to be launched.

For the tool room, one big upgrade is improving the overall mold maintenance system, including reporting and documentation practices. Many have turned to MoldTrax software to accomplish this upgrade. 

More than just a software program, MoldTrax develops a tool room's practices to be more systematic and targeted. With a few clicks, reports can be generated for the following:

·   View the top 5 molds that are the most costly to maintain on an ongoing basis. This enables resources to go toward remedying problematic tools, resulting in a quick and clear return on investment.

·   View the top 5 reasons for unscheduled mold stops within a plant. This allows for targeted cross-departmental communication and training to “stop the bleeding” of repeated mold issues.

Developed for tool room personnel – for tool room personnel –  not typists MoldTrax is an accepted solution with installations by companies ranging from North American packaging OEMs to Central American medical molders.

If you have purchased the MoldTrax software but feel you may not be maximizing its benefits, ToolingDocs can help. Customized training can occur at your site. In addition, new MoldTrax users often rely on ToolingDocs for installation, support and start-up training. This allows the savings to be realized as soon as possible.
