If Your Spindles Aren’t Turning, You Aren’t Earning!
Are unpredictable machine downtimes costing you profits? Is your team struggling to hit productivity targets? Don’t let inefficiencies hold your business back.
On his very first CNC machine—a twin spindle, twin turret Hwacheon lathe—Arthur Field was given a daunting production goal: machining turbine hubs for a well-known transmission supplier. He quickly realized that unpredictable tool life led to unplanned downtime, jeopardizing his ability to meet his daily targets. Within two weeks, Arthur established standard tool life metrics by component and tolerance creep patterns. The result? He blew his targets out of the water—targets that no one else in the 24/7 machine shop had been able to hit. Instead of keeping this success to himself, Arthur shared his methods with coworkers and supervisors, boosting overall productivity across the shop.
Arthur’s Journey: From the Shop Floor to Industry Leader
Arthur's story didn't stop there. At his next position, working with large Vertical Boring Machines (VBMs) for the mining industry, he quickly rose to the top. Applying the insights he'd gained, he consistently outperformed his peers—though not without resistance. A close call with sabotage taught Arthur that not everyone shared his drive for productivity. This experience only fueled his resolve.
In the marine industry, Arthur became a shop floor leader, standardizing production lines and implementing strategies that saved his company over $125,000 in just 12 months. Despite his success, Arthur learned that not all managers appreciated increased productivity if it meant they had to step up as well.
Eventually, Arthur took on a broader role, handling programming, fixture design, negotiations with engineers, and customer relations—all while driving profitability and loving every minute of it. But when an economic downturn hit and customers dwindled, Arthur decided it was time to turn the page once more.
A Sales Role, Without Selling ?!?
Arthur's next move was into sales at a distributor, but with a twist: he vowed never to "sell" in the traditional sense. Instead, he approached the role like a traveling applications engineer, gathering data on where customers were and where they needed to be to remain profitable. By connecting clients with the right technology and solutions, Arthur tripled his sales—and his personal income.
