When asked to describe in one word his overall experience at PFI, he proudly and without doubt said, "LOVE!" and that he would do it all over again. No plans for retirement just yet, which is good news for PFI. He's been an amazing asset and strong leader.  Dwight crossed paths with  Al Janek, Sr, one of PFI's owners, whom he helped move PFI to its current location in New Carlisle, OH. Since then there have been many memorable moments but none more so than when PFI lost power for a week when the transformer pole burned down. Dwight has racked up years of perfect quality and perfect attendance since 1996 when PFI started tracking these statistics. That success could be due in part to the best advice he ever received: never give up! Dwight doesn't plan to retire with his wife just yet, (they met at PFI). Although in the future he could see himself sitting on a sandy beach "with a cold one".  [Read More](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/40-year-work-anniversary-and-still-going-strong) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/40-year-work-anniversary-and-still-going-strong#comments-listing) Topics: [PFI Company News](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/topic/pfi-company-news) # [You Need To Plan For Quality in Precision Machining](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/you-need-to-plan-for-quality-in-precision-machining) Posted by [Colleen Janek](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/author/colleen-janek) on Sep 13, 2017 5:22:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://www.pfiprecision.com/hubfs/PFI-Precision-Jul2016-Theme/Images/Oasis%20Optical%20Inspection%20Equipment.jpg) ](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/you-need-to-plan-for-quality-in-precision-machining) Quality doesn't just happen. Accurately assessing each machined part's risk before it hits production is a key way to improve quality. Taking a look at internal capability and comparing that to the type of material, part application and tolerance requirements takes experience and sound processes to yield the best results. Developing a script for each part and machine ensures that every operator knows the details of this analysis and not only sets up the machine accordingly, but follows strict protocols for quality checks during production.

In an effort to make delivery schedules and keep part cost down, machine shops are under the gun constantly to work faster and more efficiently. If raw materials are of poor quality, part manufacturing costs go up in terms of decreased tool life, machine downtime and material scrap. It's in your best interest to find an experienced supplier who vets their raw material as much as you vet them. It ensures the best quality part, fastest delivery and lower total procurement cost. Quality is a term that is thrown around a lot. Even if a company is ISO 9000-certified, it doesn't always mean their controls are best-in-class. Manufacturers can reduce the risk of poor quality or late delivery by working with an experienced machine shop. In an effort to reduce their own downtime and scrap, these shops have already had the burden of vetting raw material suppliers.

[ReshoreNow.org](http://www.reshorenow.org/blog/reshoring-initiative-2016-data-report-the-tide-has-turned/) has reported that the tide is now turning. In their latest report, this organization, which helps companies assess their total cost of offshoring, estimates that reshoring exceeds offshoring by 27,000 jobs. This is good news for American manufacturing. Manufacturers might consider reshoring for various reasons, as reported by [ReshoreNow.org](http://www.reshorenow.org/): - Shorter lead time - Higher product quality and consistency - Rising offshore wages - Skilled workforce - Freight costs - Image of being Made in USA - Lower inventory levels, better turns - Better responsiveness to changing customer demands - Minimal intellectual property and regulatory compliance risks - Improved innovation and product differentiation - Local tax incentives We've seen a lot of new business from companies looking to reduce the total cost (and the headache) of using offshore suppliers. In one case a commodity buyer worked with PFI Precision Machining to develop a solution that resulted in significantly lower total procurement cost and improved assembly cell uptime.   [Read More](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/reduce-your-stress-consider-reshoring-your-machined-parts) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/reduce-your-stress-consider-reshoring-your-machined-parts#comments-listing) Topics: [Manufacturing](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/topic/manufacturing), [Reshoring](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/topic/reshoring), [PFI Company News](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/topic/pfi-company-news), [Supply Chain](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/topic/supply-chain) # [Welcome Back to the "Two Tylers"](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/welcome-back-to-the-two-tylers) Posted by [Colleen Janek](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/author/colleen-janek) on May 22, 2017 12:45:00 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://www.pfiprecision.com/hubfs/Two%20Tylers.jpg) ](https://www.pfiprecision.com/precision-news/welcome-back-to-the-two-tylers) We're happy to welcome back the "Two Tylers" to the shop.
