MIG is short for “metal inert gas.” During World War Two, manufacturers of equipment and weapon systems were searching for ways to increase production of aluminum and other non-ferrous parts required for the massive war effort. Early on in the war a number companies developed MIG welding to weld parts faster and more accurately. The development of the MIG welding process played an important role in the successful war effort by the United States and her Allies.

With automated MIG welding, a robotic welding arm controls the motion and placement of a contact tip holding a MIG “gun.” This gun is fed a spool of solid-steel wire through a liner.

When MIG welding commences, electricity charges the contact tip on the gun, liquefies the wire, and creates a weld puddle. At the same time inert gas flows out of the tip of the gun, sealing off the weld puddle from the atmosphere, allowing for a weld to join two metal pieces together.

The robotic MIG welding technology permits companies to make high speed production runs of top quality mid-sized welded industrial parts. For companies in need of low cost precision welding, this welding technology provides many benefits.

Some advantages of the Lincoln Electric System10 at Ohio Laser include:

For precision welding in smaller spaces, a Fanuc ARC Mate 100 iB/6s robot with a 37″ reach

Dual fixed welding work station with automatic interlocked access doors permit simultaneous part loading and unloading while welding

Complete metal surround flash barrier and bi-fold doors with interlocks

450 amp, 100% duty cycle STT welding technology power supply

Lower splatter, distortion, and smoke compared to other systems

Specialized tooling, engineering and programming capabilities are available to enable cost effective welding

One of the controversial issues with interpretation of ISO 9001:2000 Standard and others is control of forms. Many companies, by some reason, treat forms differently than documents, leaving them not controlled. Per ISO 9001:2000, element 4.2.3, “Documents required by the quality management system shall be controlled.” Let’s see if a form qualifies to be a “document” that shall be controlled.

Very often, companies use forms as lower-level documents. Frequently, it is not necessary to write a typical, instruction with the purpose, scope and details if a simple table will do the job. Very often companies receive audit non-conformities because their forms are not controlled.

Often, being asked about not controlled forms, my clients reply: “This is “just a form” a form.” I always wonder why should a form be treated differently than any other instruction or a document? If a form is not controlled, how would we know that we need it? If it is not controlled, it cannot be referenced! If your forma are not controlled, how would you know that you use the latest revision of it? Well, exactly what is a form? A quick quiz will help answer this question. If we have a list of directions telling us to:

- draw a two-column table

- enter your company name into the first column

- enter your company?s URL into the second column

Hardly anybody will argue that this three-line direction is an instruction to make and complete this form. So if this is an instruction, it “shall” be controlled, right?

Now, let’s assume, somebody gave us a two-column table. We also were asked to fill it out. The first column is titled “You company name” and the second column “Company URL”. I bet, most of us would enter our name in the first column and our phone number in the second. Does it mean that we treated the table as an “instruction”? We did!

If we agree that our first three-line instruction in English was a ?real? instruction, that needs to be controlled, the second, completed form, resulting in the same output, must also be an instruction!

It seams to me that misunderstanding concerning forms is because forms serve two purposes. Blank forms are short directions written in tabular language. When a form is completed, it becomes a record. Not like instructions, records are controlled by different means. Let’s realize this difference and treat not completed forms as any other document controlled by our documentation management procedure. There are a couple of simple tests you may take when you are tempted to use a form that has not been assigned a part number:

- If you created a form and found it had been changed, would you like to know who did it and why?

- If you changed your form, would you like personnel to use the most resent revision?

- If you were on vacation, would you like folks to be able to find your form just by finding a reference to it?

If you answered, “yes” at least once, your form should be controlled per your documentation management procedure.

Well, formally there are a number of definitions of what a quality manual is. These definitions are in ISO 10013, ISO 9001 and other standards. In fact, a quality manual is a top-level document defining your quality management system. A quality manual establishes the policy level position of your management in the area of quality management system. There are two principal definitions of what a quality manual for an ISO 9001:2000 QMS should be:

ISO 10013, Guidelines for Developing Quality Manuals, element 4.2, gives detailed suggestions for creating a quality manual. It defines a quality manual, among other requirements, as a document that should “consist of, or refer to, the documented quality system procedures intended for planning and administration of activities which impact on quality” ISO 9001:2000, element 4.2.2 describes a quality manual as a document containing:

- the scope of the QMS and details of and justification for any exclusions;

- the documented procedures or reference to them;

- relationships between the processes of your quality management system.

Let’s follow these simple instructions and see how easy it is to create a quality manual to document the scope of your quality management system and exclusions; ensure that procedures are referenced and specify relationships or interactions between your processes.

Most companies I worked with, state the scope of QMS in a scope or introduction sections of their manuals, similar to these: “XYZ Corporation designs, develops, manufactures and sells industrial application flow meters” or “XYZ Corporation provides paper and plastic recycling services to municipalities in the Great Newtown area”

When the scope is defined and exclusions are determined, it?s time to describe used processes and determine reference to the corresponding procedures. As I found through my consulting and auditing work, the best way to start this step is to transform the standard from a set of applicable requirements into your company?s commitment to satisfy those requirements. For example: If the standard in element 5.6.1, requires that the “Top management shall review the organization?s quality management system at planned intervals, to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness,” our manual will state: “My Company, Inc.?s top management review the quality management system on at least a quarterly basis to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness per the Management Review Procedure.”

As you can see, a reference to a specific procedure satisfies the second requirement for a quality manual. Following this approach by addressing all applicable elements of the standard and referencing corresponding procedures, we will establish a manual that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 standard.

Various methods are used to document process interactions. Some companies utilize Figure 1 in ISO 9001:2000 standard to document relations between main processes. Blend of the Figure 1 and references to your procedures, will define interactions between your processes. You can find additional models for process interactions on the Internet. Just, type “process interaction matrix” into your browser and you will find your answers.

After completion of your quality manual, think about other benefits a well written and professionally designed quality manual may bring you. It can communicate to your prospects, customers and vendors that your organization is not only a quality-conscious organization, but that it also knows how to document and communicate its commitment to quality through your quality manual.

I always wonder what companies achieve by stamping their quality manuals in bold capitol red letters ?CONFIDENTIAL?. As far as I?m concerned, a quality manual is a company?s resume for quality, and if you hide your resume, there is a very good chance that you will never get a job! All our customers are encouraged to make their quality manuals public!

One of the controversial issues with interpretation of ISO 9001:2000 Standard and others is control of forms. Many companies, by some reason, treat forms differently than documents, leaving them not controlled. Per ISO 9001:2000, element 4.2.3, “Documents required by the quality management system shall be controlled.” Let’s see if a form qualifies to be a “document” that shall be controlled.

Very often, companies use forms as lower-level documents. Frequently, it is not necessary to write a typical, instruction with the purpose, scope and details if a simple table will do the job. Very often companies receive audit non-conformities because their forms are not controlled.

When questioning the validity of a form without a number, I often hear: ?This is just a form.? It always escapes me, why should a form be different from any other instruction? How would we know that we need a form if it is not referenced in our documentation system? After all, if you are not managing forms by assigning document or part number and decide to modify them, how can you be sure that the latest revision is being revised? At best it would be difficult. In practice it would be impossible. Well, exactly what is a form? A quick quiz will help answer this question. If we have a list of directions telling us to:

- draw a two-column table

- enter your company name into the first column

- enter your company?s URL into the second column

Hardly anybody will argue that this three-line direction is an instruction to make and complete this form. So if this is an instruction, it “shall” be controlled, right?

Now, let’s assume, somebody gave us a two-column table. We also were asked to fill it out. The first column is titled “You company name” and the second column “Company URL”. I bet, most of us would enter our name in the first column and our phone number in the second. Does it mean that we treated the table as an “instruction”? We did!

If we concur that the first three-line instruction in written in English was a “real” instruction, that needs to be controlled, the other, completed form, resulting in the same output, must also be an instruction! Shouldn’t this type of an instruction be controlled also?

It appears that the puzzlement about forms and their control comes from the fact that forms serve two purposes. Blank forms are instructions in tabular language. After a form is filled out, it becomes a record. Records, as a rule, do not have a part or document number or a revision level. Records are controlled by different processes. Remember this and treat your forms as instructions controlled by your documentation procedure. There are a couple of tests you may take when you are thinking about not controlling your form.

- If you created a form and found it had been changed, would you like to know who did it and why?

- If you changed your form, would you like personnel to use the most resent revision?

- If you were on vacation, would you like folks to be able to find your form just by finding a reference to it?

Just one “Yes” answer to the above questions indicates that your form perhaps is a candidate for a document control.

Although there are many reasons to enjoy public speaking the number one reason is you are always able to benefit from multiple streams of income. I pre-sell my products beforehand to be delivered during speaking engagements. Not only your time, but also your materials for back of the room sales should be taken into account when setting your speaking fee. As you learn how to make money with a motivational speaking career you will have to learn how to become good at marketing. What you need to do is this: don’t think like a speaker anymore. Think like a marketer!

Being a motivational speaking marketer means you need to start looking at your speaking engagements differently. You need to see these speaking engagements as occasions for you to open your store. You can sell other things besides yourself and your time. You can write a book or get the book written for you about a subject matter that will sell in your area of expertise. How easy would it be if you just recorded audio or video files during speaking engagements you had and then packaged them up for sale? Before you can focus on the three simple ways to expand your public speaking income you have to get all your products prepared.

Your speaking fee is the first area to be looked at when expanding your public speaking income. One of the first guidelines I give you for your public speaking career is to not be nervous about asking for the money you deserve. When people aren’t making any money doing public speaking they often ask me how they can get booked instead of the more direct question of how to make the money. There is a simple answer behind why most people don’t make any money doing motivational speaking, and that is they are working for a low fee or no fee at all. The mental hurdle that must be beaten down is that you shouldn’t ask for $10,000 as opposed to $5,000. Only this stops you from reaching your full professional speaking potential!

A second area to look at to expand your income lies within pre-selling your products. Books, CDs, DVDs, and training systems are all ways to market your knowledge. Speak to the meeting planner about getting copies of your books for every person in attendance without it costing the planner a penny. Simply add an extra $10 to the registration charge and have the meeting planner send it to you after the conference has ended. I was able to pre-sell my book to every single person attending - making an additional $10 per person plus my regular speaking fee.

The third area of income expansion is through the back of the room sales. Again, I don’t want you thinking like a motivational speaker. I want you to think like a motivational marketer. You can boost your sales by making your audience hungry for more of the information you’re sharing with them. Give them nuggets from your book or CD / DVD sets and then super charge your sales by making irresistible offers. A couple of offer strategies include: discount pricing for today only or promoting your training program as ‘power packs’.

Start working these extra avenues of income and watch your motivational speaking career take off!

It is now easier and more profitable than ever to invest in the real estate market. However it is also very easy to lose a lot of money in a very short time by investing in a seemingly healthy market. In order to make it more likely that you will succeed and make money there are some important tips that you need to consider.

The internet has made it much easier to find properties. It?s now possible to spend hours on the internet searching for properties, you are not just limited to the number of properties which are in your local paper. You can also find properties which are located thousands of miles away. Bear in mind however that you will need to spend money on realtor fees unless you stick to the classifieds adverts on the internet.

To get started you should visit an estate agent or realtor. If you have enough money then you could get a multiple listing service (MLS). This allows you to get quite a lot of information. Some locations require a license to get this information.

If you do want to use the internet to get a great value property then you still have to be prepared to do some hard work. You can only see what a property is like by visiting it and seeing what the surrounding buildings and neighborhood is like. When you are taking a look around the neighborhood look out for FSBO signs, for rent signs, and have a little chat with some of the neighbors. The people next door might know lots of information which will be useful to you. They might for example know that the back yard becomes a swamp after heavy rain.

You should do a number of different visits in different weather conditions and different times of the day. Property may seem completely different at different times.

The best way to discover whether the roof is leaking is to go to visit the property when it?s raining. It?s not really the best time to be looking at property, however it is useful! You need to gather as much information as possible, this will put you ahead of the competition.

Once you have informally inspected the property you can then enter into a contingent deal. This means that the contract will depend on a professional inspection. You should find someone which is experienced, they will probably be slightly more expensive, however it is worth it.

If you have enough time then you should spend time learning the craft by yourself. You need to at least learn enough so that you can understand what the inspector is saying to you and check that it sounds about right. You should spend time carefully reviewing the report. Nothing will be perfect, however any flaws should be recorded for future reference. Some things will require immediate attention, such as damage to floors and walls, leaky plumbing, leaky roofs, or broken heating systems. You should also be very cautious about standing water in the basement.

It?s possible to negotiate about anything, this means that you could get some money knocked off for certain repairs. Information is very important, however you need to be very realistic. No property will be perfect, even brand new homes.
