Greetings! ,  

Welcome to this month's news.
 
Business in general is strong and climbing while the challenges we face are more about responding to immediate needs and trying to find the necessary experienced help quickly enough. We are always trying to improve in this area.
 
 We've been successful in aggressively pursuing our in house training program.  We're devoting time and resources in training tomorrow's future operators and setup people. Preventive Maintenance on our equipment has never been more important than now.  We're taking aggressive measures to keep larger inventory of replacement machine parts and scheduling full P.M.'s on our equipment to run better quality and eliminate costly and unexpected downtime.
 
Materials seem to be holding somewhat steady in most areas. We've had some issues with material availability.  Some grades and specific size ranges are harder to come by then in the recent past. Please get your orders in as quickly as possible to be able to react in these situations. Outside services such as plating, anodizing & passivating add lead time to any order due to delivering and retrieving subcontractor services and additional inspection times.

Just a reminder, in order to expedite the A/R process for both our customers and Avanti, we are now offering the ability to email invoices instead of using "snail mail".   Please send an email to dstrope@avantiengineering.com if you would like to take advantage of this time and environment saving method.

I hope you are satisfied with Avanti Engineering and that we are exceeding your expectations relative to your precision machined parts purchases. I can honestly say that we try very hard at communicating with you and going beyond the normal expectations to achieve better than average quality, delivery, & overall performance & customer service. Thank you for your business

PMPA Comments on EPA's Proposed "Clarification" of TRI Article Exemption
Monday, July 26, 2010
Bulletin Number: WP-18
We recently attended a meeting with OMB and EPA officials regarding EPA's proposed "Clarification" of the Article exemption under TRI 313 Reporting. We were joined with representatives of roughly 14 other industry spokespeople at this meeting.

Many precision machining shops make use of the article exemption in some form, so any changes to the definition would require all precision manufacturing companies to reassess their need to report under the new clarification.

EPA's own estimates of reporting burden go to 51.3 hours to collect all the needed data, evaluate your compliance to the rule, do the calculations and report.

PMPA provided an analysis showing that the burden on just the precision machining industry in the US would be of the order of $3.5 million, fabricated metal industry, $66 million, and over $209 million for the entire 33 NAICS code including precision machining, fabricated metal, and machinery manufacture.
