SURVEY -- CAST METAL COMPANIES INDICATE VALUE DELIVERY

摘要

The Australian Foundry Institute in Queensland, together with the Brisbane based Cast CRC at the University of Queensland, jointly commissioned a comprehensive survey of cast metal companies, and the Survey completed in 2007. Doug Harland, an industry consultant, said "Trie "Survey "proved an eye-opener to all in the industry. The resultant statistics were a surprise to both the participants and the AFI Council, and demonstrated the economic and social importance of our Industry. It will be interesting to gather non-ferrous statistics also." Doug Harland's report follows: The interview process was both comprehensive, and well supported by all participants, and in some cases took up to four hours of key executive time. The key areas of corporate and operational performance were surveyed for each business to gather statistics, identify current issues and future challenges.
