MOLD MAINTENANCE: A STRATEGY FOR OPTIMIZING MOLD PERFORMANCE

摘要

All mold builders perform mold repair, usually on molds they built. But few strategize to also offer ongoing mold maintenance services. A system has been developed for training and certifying mold builders and to put in place a documentation software system that enables them to serve as an extension of molders' toolrooms, thus freeing up a molder's employees for only the most specialized on-site emergency mold repair work. This system, called 'Certified Maintenance Provider', consists of training, software installation, and subsequent auditing, in order to position a mold builder to become a source for maintenance within the company's immediate region.
