The v-process casting method was first developed in Japan as an innovative method for manufacturing precision automotive components. The process is not widely known by engineers in the United States because it is not highly publicized and there are very few producers in North America.But the process is really terrific for a number of reasons:1) the tooling costs are relatively inexpensive.2) tooling changes can be made easily and cost effectively.3) precision castings are made with a smooth surface finish.4) process can be utilized for prototyping as well as supporting production quantities.5) piece price is competitive with die casting through 15,000 pieces.Let's take a look at each one of the five reasons listed above.

“As Massachusetts is becoming more diverse, its government lags behind, resembling the population of three or four decades ago,” a Boston Globe editorial observed. “A new study from UMass-Boston of 163 top positions in state government shows that minorities are underrepresented, and the numbers of Latinos and Asian-Americans in particular are shamefully low,”
The editorial continues: “The government, and especially its leadership, will not reflect the state’s full diversity without a concentrated effort to recruit talented people from all segments of the population, and to assure them that their contributions are needed and welcome.”
Of the top 100 US cities, the minorities have become the majority. They have enormous purchasing power. They’re your customers.

I read in the New Yorker recently that "in the 'whitest' state in the nation, L.L Bean hires many Somali refugees living 20 miles away in Lewiston, Maine, to work at their giant packing facility in Freeport, during peak holiday rush.” Martha Kidd Cyr, L.L. Bean’s, VP Human of Resources, told me that many of these seasonal hourly workers become full time, permanent employees.
“As companies do more and more business around the world, diversity isn't simply a matter of doing what is fair or good public relations. It's a business imperative,” writes Carol Hymowitz in The Wall Street Journal.
“Diversity isn't easy to get right,” she adds. “But when a company strives to create a workforce that mirrors the population of a community, one that is as varied as its customer base, the benefits to all are broad and deep. Diverse employees offer an extraordinarily wide range of proficiencies for doing business (or doing good) in any marketplace.”

Shredders are available for rent. Many companies have the need of huge industrial shredders that shred 20,000 pounds of paper or more in an hour. Shredders of that size are too big to fit into an average office. In such circumstances, renting a shedder is a way out.Shredder rentals usually provide locked bins at your premises. You fill up the bins with everything that is to be shredded. When the bins are full, the workers of the rental company arrive with a truck mounted shredder. They carry out the entire shredding job in your presence. The shredding workers never make physical or visual contact with your documents. This qualifies you for FACTA and HIPPA compliance. (FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act) and HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) have

More Similar Than Different
Last year, Watson Wyatt Worldwide’s. WorkUSA research asked 7500 workers at all job levels across diverse industries to respond to 130 statements about their workplaces. Watson Wyatt broke down the responses to look for diversity patterns across demographics including whites versus minorities, men versus women, and people over and under 30 years old.

●They supported their company's business plan.
●They had a chance to use their skills on the job.
●Their reward package was competitive.
●The company acted on employee suggestions.
