Greetings!
Earlier this month, while you were busy at
work or taking some time off for a summer
vacation, the leaders of the world's eight
largest economies gathered in Italy for the
G8
meeting.
One issue brought to light in the meeting is
the importance of maintaining the flow of
global trade in the face of a struggling
world economy. At the same time, business
sense and the forces of the free market are
causing many companies to rethink their offshoring
strategy.
Global warming was another issue that
commanded the attention of the G8 leaders.
Many manufacturers are now realizing that
"green" and "lean" can actually be
synergetic, enhancing business
performance while helping the environment at
the same time.
Closer to home, sharing knowledge is one of
the ways in which we can work together for
the betterment of our tooling and
manufacturing sectors. The American Mold
Builders Association plays an important
role in promoting this collaboration effort
and providing members with a forum to share best
practices. And you never know when a word of advice shared by a
fellow toolmaker might help you build a
better tool.
Speaking of knowledge sharing, many Cimatron
customers take advantage of the monthly
Tooling Tips webinars and newsletters offered
by the Cimatron support staff. Contact Cimatron
support if you are not sure how to access
these resources.
Enjoy the reading and the rest of your summer!
