JPS International is proud to be featured in this month’s publication of The Fabricator magazine. We were recently interviewed about how material handling is one of the biggest challenges in any fabrication shop and how we helped our good customer SCW Contracting Corp with theirs.
In this article, Peter Janes talks about his experience in the structural steel industry.
“I have seen so many fab shops in my time,” Janes said. “Some of them can have great machinery for processing beams, but they’re handling the material way too often. In the end, only two things matter: When material comes into your shop and when it leaves your shop. Whatever happens in between is man-hours per ton.
“And, unfortunately, most do the majority of material handling through the shop by crane, and crane handling is notoriously slow,” Janes continued. “There are times when cranes are necessary, of course, but there are other ways of moving material through the shop. Every time you pick a beam, you’re spending time on it, and time is money.”
