The steel machine?http://www.hardware-tools-china.com/? tools report is generally based on a survey of about 200 manufacturers, distributors and importers of steel machine tools that represent 76 percent of the steel machine tool market.

 

U.S. May steel machine tool demand declined 16.4 percent to $341.21 million from $408.27 million in April, the American steel machine Tool Distributors’ Association (AMTDA) and the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT) said.

 

But May demand rose 2.2 percent from $333.80 million in May 2007.

 

April demand was revised upward from $396.47 million reported a month ago.

 

In the first five months of 2008, demand for steel machine tools, which gives a sense of the pace of manufacturing, stood at $1.942 billion, up 17.2 percent from $1.658 billion in the same 2007 period.

 

“The May steel machine tool consumption numbers again demonstrated continued strength and growth in many markets across the country, except in the automotive sector in the upper Midwest,” AMTDA President Peter Borden said in a statement.

 

“However, the concerns about energy and commodity prices, along with the traditional summer and pre-IMTS (International Manufacturing Technology Show) buying slowness, may in the next few months reduce the gains that we have seen thus far this year to bring the orders closer to the forecasts,” he said.

 

May demand for steel machine?http://www.hardware-tools-china.com/? tools saw declines of 41.5 percent in the West, 26.2 percent in the Midwest and 11.6 percent in the South. But it rose 7.5 percent in the Central United States and 4.7 percent in the Northeast, according to the report.

 

Earlier this month the Labor Department reported a 33,000 decline in U.S. June manufacturing jobs. The manufacturing sector has lost jobs every month over the past two years.

 

 

 

Automotive mechanics are responsible for servicing and repairing motor vehicles. At various times, their work may involve inspection of problems, routine or preventive maintenance, replacement of parts, diagnostic troubleshooting, performance testing, and/or vehicle repair. Mechanics make use of a wide variety of tools, ranging from traditional hand tools to larger power tools to the computerized shop equipment needed for interfacing with the integrated electronic systems and complex computers which regulate most of today’s vehicles. During routine service inspections, mechanics will test and if necessary, repair or replace worn parts using a checklist to ensure that they examine every critical part. To handle more intensive repair jobs, mechanics may need to replace or overhaul major systems or components of the vehicle. Troubleshooting problems on many of today’s vehicles often requires a mechanic to compare readouts from a computerized diagnostic testing device with benchmarked standards provided by the manufacturer.

Education, Certification, Licensing

Strictly speaking, there are no mandated educational requirements for becoming an automotive mechanic. Some mechanics still learn the trade by assisting and learning from experienced workers. However, successful completion of a vocational training program in automotive service technology in high school or in a postsecondary vocational school or community college is highly recommended. Courses in math, physics, and to an increasingly important degree, electronics and computer science, will be extremely helpful. Even those who graduate from a formal automotive training program will still need a year or two of experience to become a fully qualified automotive mechanic. Complex specialties, such as air conditioning or transmission repair, normally require another year or two of training and/or experience.A standard credential for automotive mechanics is the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification. While not mandatory for automotive service work, certification is becoming increasingly common to the point where today there are about 400,000 certified professionals. Certification can be earned in one or more of 8 different areas of automotive service (e.g., engine repair, brake systems, electrical systems, etc.) and is based on a combination of education/experience and the ability to pass a certification exam. Those who are skilled in multiple auto repair services and would like to increase their marketability as an all-around mechanic can pursue ASE certification in all eight areas, which will earn them the designation of Master Automobile Technician.

“Having a Project Management system without a methodology is like

attaching a speedometer to an orange crate; it measures nothing.”

- Bryce’s Law

INTRODUCTION

The term “methodology” is being bandied about by just about every

software development vendor and consultant imaginable. You would be

hard pressed to find a vendor who, in addition to their usual tool

offering, doesn’t promise a methodology to solve all of your development

problems. But like many things in this industry, the terminology is

getting sloppy and it is becoming apparent the true definition of

“methodology” is being bastardized.

IN THE BEGINNING

The term “methodology” became popular in information systems in the

early 1970’s, initially as a response to the question, “What is it?” Milt

Bryce first applied the term to systems development in 1971, to describe his

Information Systems Engineering process. Bryce referred to “methodology” as

a process which ends with the delivery of a product or a completely defined

result.

Later on, during the structured programming movement, a different

interpretation of the word emerged from software gurus such as Yourdon,

Gane/Sarson, Orr, Finklestein, Martin, Warnier/Orr, etc. Instead of

describing the overall process by which development occurs, the structured

programming people began to use the term “methodology” to describe their

techniques for designing software (e., functional decomposition, data

driven design, object oriented design, etc.). Consequently, software

development tools, which represent automated extensions of these techniques,

began to tout their products as “methodology” enablers.

This division in the use of the term “methodology” is a major source

of confusion to the industry. Not all “methodologies” are created equally.

There are fundamentally two interpretations: as a term referring to the

“process” by which work is performed, and; as a term referring to a

particular design technique. To truly understand “methodologies” you

must know the difference.

METHODOLOGIES AS “PROCESS MANAGEMENT”

We at MBA define a methodology as, “a process which ends with the delivery

of a product or a completely defined result.” Under this perspective,

a methodology defines the “5-W’s”; it defines WHO, is to perform WHAT work,

WHEN, WHERE, and WHY. If this sounds like an engineering/manufacturing

process, it is. MBA contends information resources can be designed and

developed in the same manner as any other product. Here, a methodology

defines the division of labor and synchronization of work effort. With

this approach, the development effort is divided into smaller more

manageable pieces just as in an assembly line process. Construction

projects represent another example (e,g., shipbuilding, office/home

construction, etc.), where the work is carefully divided into stages with

precedent relationships.

METHODOLOGY AS A DESIGN TECHNIQUE

As opposed to the “5-W’s” interpretation by MBA, a methodology

supported by the software design people defines HOW a particular task

is to be performed. For example, the forte of design techniques such

as “object oriented programming,” “structured programming,” or “information

engineering” is on HOW to accomplish specific activities of work. From

this context, the term “methodology” is a misnomer which should be

replaced by the term “technique,” a more apt description.

Techniques may differ from company to company, and there is not always

a single way to perform a task. For example, in the automotive industry,

fenders have always been a part of the car, but they have not always been

attached the same way. Originally, fenders were bolted to the body of the

car. Years later, an automotive worker welded the fender to the car. Today,

welding robotics perform the task. The task, attaching the fender to the car,

hasn’t changed, but the techniques to do it have. Improved techniques can

mean realizing the same result with savings in time and money.

The same is true in the information systems world. Whereas there are

generic stages of work for designing and developing a system, there are a

multitude of techniques for performing the work. For example, there are

significant differences between “structured programming” and “object

oriented programming,” yet the result is fundamentally the same, the

development of an executable program. The difference is the chosen approach

of implementation (there are pros and cons for both techniques). Whereas

“Software Engineering” represents a phase of work in a development project,

“structured programming” and “object oriented programming” represent

techniques that can be used to perform the phase.

Does this mean there are overlaps or conflicts in the use of the

different types of “methodologies”? Not quite. But to appreciate the

difference, one must understand the concept of “Productivity” (as

we have discussed in other “PRIDE” Special Subject Bulletins).

PRODUCTIVITY = EFFECTIVENESS X EFFICIENCY

Productivity is not simply a matter of how fast a task can be performed,

it’s a matter of performing the right task at the right time. This is what

underlies the concept of productivity. Whereas “efficiency” concentrates

on speed of delivery, “effectiveness” is concerned with doing the right

thing at the right time; the two are not synonymous. For example, performing

a weld using robotics may be a far more efficient means than performing the

task manually, but it is useless if you are welding the wrong thing. There

is nothing more unproductive than to build something efficiently that should

never have been built in the first place. Zero percent effectiveness

times 1000% efficiency equals zero productivity.

A true methodology addresses the effectiveness side of the equation

(Who, What, When, Where, Why), and a technique addresses the efficiency

side (How to). Whereas a methodology defines the work environment, the

technique defines how the work is to be performed. The two are obviously

complementary and one does not eliminate the need for the other. But

comparing one with another is like comparing apples with oranges, they are

simply not the same.

FACTORY CONCEPT

Within an engineering/manufacturing facility you will typically find:



An Assembly Line where products are developed in stages.



Production Control monitoring the assembly line for delays or

accelerations in production.



Techniques for performing work.



Tools providing mechanical leverage.



These elements can be found in any development environment, including

the IT world. What is interesting is the relationship between the elements:

ASSEMBLY LINE - at the heart of the factory is the Assembly Line process

where products are developed in stages by workers with different skills

for the different stages of work. In IT terminology, this is the

“methodology.”

PRODUCTION CONTROL monitors the assembly line using dials and gauges.

Production Control is not an entity by itself; it is totally dependent on

the existence of the Assembly Line in order to measure performance.

In IT terminology, this is Project Management. However, this brings up

an important point; without a defined methodology, Project Management is

an exercise in futility. It measures nothing. Only if a defined mode

of operation exists can dials and gauges be effectively applied.

TECHNIQUES, as mentioned, represent ways for performing specific tasks

(”how to”). A variety of techniques may be used on the Assembly Line.

Obviously, it would be counter-productive to use a technique at the wrong

time on the Assembly Line. This means the effective use of techniques

is dependent upon a defined Assembly Line.

TOOLS implement techniques. Tools provide mechanical leverage for performing

a specific task. In this sense, it is an extension of a technique, and like

the technique, tools must be deployed at the proper locations along the

Assembly Line. This is the reason why many software engineering tools are failing;

not because they are bad tools, but simply because companies have not defined

their Assembly Lines (methodologies) and haven’t specified when the techniques

and tools are to be used.

What this highlights is that a methodology is the focal point within a

development environment. Without a defined methodology, Project Management

will be ineffective, and design techniques and software development tools

will be misapplied. Productivity will be low.

METHODOLOGY CRITERIA

Since a methodology is critical to the success or failure of a

development environment, it is important to be able to differentiate

between a methodology, technique and tool. The generic properties of

a methodology include:

1. DEFINES THE STAGES OF WORK (a work breakdown structure normally

consisting of phases, activities and tasks). The stages of work

defines the “5-W’s” (Who, What, When, Where, Why). The synchronization

of work is needed to define direction and is provided by the precedent

relationships between the various steps in the methodology. Defined

duties and responsibilities provides insight for performing the work

and methodology standardization improves communications between workers.

2. MEASURABLE - The stages of work can be evaluated in terms of how long

it takes to perform them and how much they cost to perform. Further,

criteria is provided to substantiate completion of deliverables

thereby assuring the development of a quality product.

3. TECHNIQUE AND TOOL INDEPENDENT - various techniques and tools can be

deployed as required.

4. PROJECT MANAGEMENT INDEPENDENT - can work with or without a Project

Management system. For example, an Assembly Line can still function

without Production Control, but not vice versa.

If the methodology you are evaluating does not match this simple

criteria, it is not a methodology and probably some form of technique.

TYPES OF METHODOLOGIES

Of the “process management” methodologies, there are fundamentally

three types:

LINEAR “WATERFALL” METHODOLOGY (sometimes referred to as “Life Cycle”) -

this is perhaps the best known of the methodologies. Various interpretations

of this approach have been published for several years, both commercially and

public domain. Fundamentally, it a sequential process where the design of an

application moves from the general to the specific; for example:

FEASIBILITY STUDY DESIGN PROGRAMMING TESTING REVIEW

The problem with this approach has been its orientation towards computer

software and not on total systems. But the biggest pitfall has been its

sequential orientation which tends to prohibit parallel development.

SPIRAL DEVELOPMENT - this approach is based on the premise the development

process is evolutionary in nature (which, in fact, it is). The concept is

to initially design a program, then add additional phases of work to

constantly revise the program to enhance its features. From a Project

Management perspective, the problem with this approach is that the project

never ends.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT - as proposed by MBA, this approach uses elements of

the other two methodologies, with the added nuance of using a product

orientation as the basis for the development process. Under this approach,

a system is viewed as a product. Consequently, it can be designed in the same

manner as any other product. For example, when a product is being designed

(such as an automobile), the overall assemblies are first designed (such as

the body, chassis, engine, etc.). After this phase, each assembly is designed

by teams of engineers who refine the design of each assembly into sub-assemblies

and parts. All of this occurs as parallel phases. MBA advocates the same

approach for systems development. An initial phase is used to design

the architecture of the system, followed by succeeding parallel phases to

refine the design. This is the best approach for parallel development.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

In an engineering/manufacturing environment, the responsibility for

defining the work environment is normally delegated to an “Industrial

Engineer.” It is the Industrial Engineer’s responsibility to define the

Assembly Line, the types of people and skill sets required to perform the

work, and the deployment of techniques and tools to be used on the

Assembly Lines. Industrial Engineering is a recognized profession in

the engineering/manufacturing world. A comparable position is required

in the information systems world.

Unfortunately, most development methodologies purchased today are

evaluated by the wrong people. Quite often, the evaluation of a methodology

is delegated to programmers or technicians who are more enamored with the

latest software design technique or tool than in defining a managed development

environment. This is like Henry Ford allowing the UAW to invent the concept

of the Assembly Line. They simply have the wrong perspective. Someone who

specializes in installing headlights doesn’t necessarily have the expertise to

develop Assembly Lines. True, their input can be helpful when evaluating a

technique or a tool, but not for an overall development environment. This is

one area where American businesses have abdicated complete control.

CONCLUSION

There are essentially two interpretations for the term “methodology” in

the IT industry. One interpretation is as a disciplined process for developing

information resources, from inception to conclusion. Another is as a technique

for performing a specific task of work. These are subtle but significant

differences, particularly if a company is analyzing their development

environment. As companies have learned, it is not simply a matter of

purchasing the latest software engineering tool to overcome their productivity

problems. Studies show such tools are failing to have an effect in this area,

primarily because they are being misapplied by the users. People looking for

programming tools to bring order out of chaos are going to be sorely

disappointed. This is not their forte. Rather, they represent an efficient

approach for implementing design techniques. The intent of a true methodology

is to define the work environment, thereby providing the ability to effectively

deploy tools and techniques. To implement a methodology, a development

organization needs to reorient themselves into an “Information Factory”

environment, where systems and software (products) are developed in the

same manner as any other engineering/manufacturing facility.

You can save hundreds of dollars on garage fees every year by carrying out minor servicing and maintenance jobs on your car yourself. Armed with a selection of widely available automotive tools, a garage manual for your car, and enough time and patience to get a job done properly, pretty much anyone can carry out the routine tasks needed to keep your car on the road and running smoothly.

One of the most satisfying aspects of carrying out maintenance tasks on your vehicle - aside from saving money on expensive garage bills - is that you are able to get an understanding of how the car works, and the more you understand about the vehicle, the easier it is to put things right in the event of a breakdown.

Any home garage requires a good selection of automotive tools to carry out work on a car. Some vehicles from certain manufacturers have non standard machining and sizes used throughout their construction, and you will need to get automotive specialty tools designed for the purpose of working on that particular car from a motor store. No home workshop is complete without a trolley jack and axle stands to allow you to get under the car and do things like oil changes and exhaust checks.

For most small jobs, such as changing the oil or replacing filters, changing the spark plugs and brake pads on your vehicle, general tools such as a wrench and a screwdriver are all that is required, and these are widely available in most hardware stores. It is a good idea to keep your automotive tools separate from other tools you may have, because if you begin a job and then discover that the tool you want to use is missing, it can cause major headaches.

Twenty years ago, cars were much simpler to maintain and understand than they are today. Computerised engine management systems and adjustable fuel injectors are now commonplace, and special automotive diagnostic tools are required in order to make adjustments to the engine timing and fuel air mix, whereas in the past, these jobs could be done quite simply.

Areas of the car that almost anyone can handle the regular maintenance of are the interior and exterior panels. Simple scratches and dents to the bodywork are easy to repair using a soft mallet for panel beating and abrasive paper, spray paint and filler for paintwork repairs.

If your car is well used, the interior is likely to start to look tired and dated and in need of a little tender loving care. Thankfully, there are many automotive upholstery tools available to help you to tidy up the interior of the car and bring it back to its sparkling best. You can repair small tears and burns on the seats by darning them or applying a repair patch over the affected area. The trim of the car can be brought back to life with a good buffing using a polisher, while using specialist tools it is possible to repair the carpets or even replace them.

Of course there is much more to owning and maintaining a car than just tightening nuts and sewing up split seams, and you may find that you want to add non-stock parts such as a more efficient air filter or new exhaust to improve performance, and once you understand the basics of automotive maintenance, upgrades and tuning will become more accessible, saving you even more money in the long term.

Doing small jobs yourself can save you plenty of money on garage bills, and having the right automotive tools to get the jobs done is an excellent idea that will save you time and effort in the long run. However, one of the most important things for any mechanic to know is when to pass over a job to an expert, and rather than potentially do more damage than good, to get a qualified mechanic to carry out work on a car.

Promotional automotive products include much more than key chains and bumper stickers. You can put your message or logo on everything from roadside toolkits to hitch covers. While smaller items make excellent giveaways, use larger products as customer appreciation gifts and raffle items.

Many vendors give out logo key chains at trade shows, job fairs, and in goody bags at other community events. Why not do something a little different and hand out a mini license plate, ice scraper or tire gauge? A tire gauge is a useful promotional item that will remind the recipient of your company every time it’s used. In addition, tire gauges often come attached to a key ring, combined with a pen light or a tread gauge, and as a digital gauge.

Other eye-catching giveaway items include car flags, bumper stickers, static clings and reflective decals. These types of screen imprinted items are especially useful when your company sponsors an event or a sports team. Customers are more inclined to use and display the item when the message supports the event or team. Your logo and contact information are then visible to everyone who sees the vehicle displaying the item. When choosing screen imprinted automotive promotional products, look for vendors who offer 4-color process. You want to make your item stand out with bright colors. These products can also be used as advertising on company vehicles.

The car ribbon magnet supporting various causes continues to be popular with motorists. Use these to show your support and your recipient’s support for everything from ****** cancer research to a particular branch of the military. The best ribbons include a heart shape in the loop of the ribbon that provides an additional punch-out magnet to display information.

The ultimate in promotional automotive products is the roadside emergency tool kit. These make great customer appreciation gifts or raffle items. Basic kits include ***** drivers, a tire gauge and jumper cables. More expensive kits can also include a flash light, a universal car starter, wrenches, electrical tape and even a first aid kit. Surprisingly, vehicle tool kits are reasonable priced from $20 to $50.

Finally, consider imprinting car organizers with your logo and message. You can put your information on CD organizers, catch-alls, glove box wallets, and mobile office and entertainment centers. Car organizers make nice gifts for both customer and employee appreciation days. Normally, imprinting is priced as one color in one location on the item.

As any mechanic knows, the ability to offer a comprehensive service to customers, being able to offer repairs and care for all aspects of a motor vehicle maintenance program is key to being able to retain customers. Air Conditioning is more or less standard across all models these days, and while in the past, AC maintenance was a highly skilled and niche market, it is now an essential side of the business and key to any workshop’s continued success.

In order to ensure that refrigerant is recovered properly from a car’s air conditioning system during servicing, a workshop must use an automotive AC machine. These devices prevent the release through venting of CFC gases. EPA guidelines require that when a car is being serviced, the Freon, or CFC12 that is used as the coolant should be collected and recycled in order that it is not released into the environment where it can potentially damage the ozone layer.

The refrigerant used in most motor vehicle air conditioning systems is based on chlorofluorocarbons, which have been linked with causing damage to the ozone layer, and as such, the control of these substances is of particular concern to the environmental protection agency. Whenever a car air conditioning system undergoes maintenance, proper care must be taken to protect the environment from the release of CFCs, and this is best done by using automotive AC Machines.

By reusing Freon gas rather than allowing it to be vented into the atmosphere, the environment is protected. However, when the refrigerant is collected from a car’s air conditioning it can be contaminated with water, oil and any of the other liquids that are used in cars. By using automotive AC machines, it is possible to process the refrigerant and remove any of the other fluids from it, allowing it to be reused, either in the same system as it has been drained from, or alternatively, in another car altogether.

There are a whole range of different refrigerant recovery machines on the market to suit all types of workshop, from small operations through to large commercial garages that deal with many different types of car, and need to be able to offer a complete service to clients.

Choosing the right automotive AC machines for your needs can be a daunting task, and too many people simply opt for the cheapest model available, rather than making an informed decision about the best product for their needs. EPA requirements aside, the most important factor when choosing the correct automotive AC machine for your business, is the capacity of the machine to deal with the range of vehicles that you currently work on. You need to choose a machine that can connect easily with all the different types of car that your workshop deals with, and which has enough capacity to recover and treat the refrigerant left in the system to remove any impurities.

Basic automotive AC machines such as the Pro Set Oiless Portable Recovery Recycle Unit are flexible enough to reprocess coolant from a fairly wide range of sources, remove any contaminating oils and other liquids, and release the Freon in perfect condition for reuse.

There are other machines in a similar price bracket that are reliable enough for every day use, and yet still compact enough not to require a vast amount of space in your workshop. Automotive AC Machines such as the Inficon Vortex refrigerant recovery machine are ideally suited to occasional use, and are very compact.

If offering AC repairs and servicing is key to your business, then having the right tools for the job is essential. Getting it right at the beginning when you choose an AC coolant recovery machine often means choosing a model from the Cool Tech range. These robust and highly regarded specialist tools are at the centre of any serious AC shop, and thanks to their efficiency and great value for money, will pay for themselves over and over again.

There are quite a few kinds of automotive tools obtainable, if you are in business of fixing the cards, or want to ensure that you are having utilities essential to keep car in proper shape, you have to know what are most important.

It must be highlighted that there are not such things like all in one tool; in almost all the cases, a particular tool can fix every potential problem.

Replacing All the Car Parts

With Internet it has now become very easy to find necessary parts to replace defective part. Obviously, if particular part is difficult, or if vehicle is been imported, it can take a moment before it is replaced, particularly if it needs to be shipped from the other country.

Automotive Tool Kits

Certainly, it is significant if there is something going wrong with car you must consult qualified mechanic. But, for the simpler problems you need to fix on own, it also pays to have some handy automotive tools with you.

All of these automotive apparatus are not that pricey; mostly all you’ll require are wrenches, spare fuses, screws of all types, pocket knives, pliers, torque wrenches, jumper cables, road flares, gloves, battery terminal brush, reflective vest, flashlights duct tapes, oil & some extra tires certainly. Of course, never forget car jacks. Other essentials are the medical kits & cell phones.

If you go out on long trip, then you need good-sized bag that will put all the tools in. Place them in back of trunk. Lastly, you must keep in mind that though these automotive utensils are simple to get anywhere. The same thing is said that if you are in car repair business. Never scrimp on quality of tools, because whatsoever you save on cost of tools can come out while customers begin complaining incompetent or else poor service.

Automotive tools include everything from the basic wrenches to costly diagnostic tools. Your business might need easy automobile tools to perform oil changes or else you may give wide services to your consumers with full service garage. You need to find niche, which works for your consumers needs & then buy automotive tools to get job done.

Make a decision what type of services you wish to offer your consumers. You can give tire service, fast oil change & lubes, AC maintenance or else all of above. Buy auto equipment, which meets these requirements. Look at following while deciding which car tools you need:

1. Select auto tools for single service garage.

2. Buy automotive tools & equipment for your service garage.

3. Select correct automotive tools to diagnose your consumer’s car trouble.

The automotive tools & equipment are extremely expensive. Ensure you cover your apparatus for lost, stolen and manufacturer’s defects or else have it covered in your business plan. Complete service garages require auto part equipment, which covers the whole thing that might happen to person’s car from the minor oil leaks to full engine overhaul. The customers can expect you to stick anything or else carry out routine car maintenance.
