Why Invest in Training?

Training is an investment in your company's future growth and profitability. It is an investment in your most valuable asset... your staff. It is important to remember that your staff are more vital to your company than any other component. Because the returns on this training investment usually are many times greater than what you actually paid, upgrading your employees skills and knowledge and honing your processes will cost you nothing in the long run. Especially in this challenging economy, it is wise to develop ways to produce your printing in the most cost effective way possible. Savings made by improving productivity go straight onto your profits.

The services that PDS Consulting provides, are geared to this end result—to assist you in making your company the most competitive and profitable company it can be. Can your company benefit from expert and state-of-the-art training and process improvement? The answer to this question lies in the answers to the following:

  • Do you want to produce less waste and increase output?
  • Do your customers need faster turnaround than you can currently offer?
  • Are your products costing more to produce than the estimated costs?
  • Do products get to final inspection before you realize they are non-conforming?
  • Are skill levels of your employees antiquated, but your employees are eager to learn?
  • Is your competition doing it better, faster, more cost effectively or all of the above?
  • Are your various production departments wasting mesh, emulsion, inks, solvents, cleaning supplies, film, substrates, chemicals, adhesives, time and money due to poor production processes and lack of skills and competency?
  • Do you believe it is imperative that you produce your screen printed products using the most efficient, cost effective and quality oriented means possible?

If you answered yes to one or many of these questions, then your company could benefit from our training and process improvement services. Even if you do not grow your business or customer list at all, a better skilled workforce and honed processes could help you experience substantial gains in profitability even in a slow economy.

SMILE FOR TODAY

To be 6 again...

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday."I'd like to be six again", she replied, still looking in the mirror.

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well Dear, what was it like being six again??"

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.

"I meant my dress size, you dumb ass!"

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.
