BUWW Christmas Party 2010

BUWW Christmas 2010

For you  I wish hope, joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun

I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer

May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought

May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold

I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year  too..
(Poet - Ruth Kephart)

BUWW Christmas 2010

It may be called Turkey Day? Thanksgiving Day is about more than just the bird.

A lot of cultures around the world often celebrated the harvest season with feasts to offer thanks to higher powers for their sustenance and survival.

In 1541 Spaniard Francisco Vásquez de Coronado and his troops celebrated a "Thanksgiving" while searching for New World gold in what is now the Texas Panhandle.

Later such feasts were held by French Huguenot colonists in present-day Jacksonville, Florida (1564), In 1607, English colonists and Abnaki Indians at Maine's Kennebec River, and in 1610, Jamestown, Virginia (when the arrival of a food-laden ship ended a brutal famine.

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

Everything we know about the three-day Plimoth gathering comes from a description in a letter wrote by Edward Winslow, leader of the Plimoth Colony, in 1621, Monac said that feast was not something that was supposed to be repeated again and again. It wasn't even a Thanksgiving, which in the 17th century was a day of fasting. It was a harvest celebration."The letter had been lost and for more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states.

When, in 1841 Boston publisher Alexander Young printed Winslow's brief account of the feast and added his own twist, dubbing it the "First Thanksgiving."

President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving Day a national holiday in 1863. In 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt established the current date for observance, the fourth Thursday of November.

The truth is the first "real" Thanksgiving happened two centuries later from when happened.

BUWW Mexico Enclosure

This enclosure was made for a lathe to keep the chips inside the machine. 

   The customer needed to protect the operator from steel chips and also, while its working, it will help the operator to keep the hands of the tooling.

House Approves Lipinski-Manzullo Bill to Bolster U.S. Manufacturing, Put Americans Back to Work

On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 379-38 for bipartisan legislation requiring the Administration to consult with the private sector to implement a national manufacturing strategy that will strengthen our industrial base and help put Americans back to work.

Co-sponsored by U.S. Reps. Dan Lipinski (D-IL), Don Manzullo (R-IL) and 59 other Members of Congress, the National Manufacturing Strategy Act (H.R. 4692) requires the President to create a public-private Manufacturing Strategy Board within the Commerce Department that will analyze all aspects of U.S. manufacturing, develop short- and long-term goals for job creation, and implement a strategy to achieve those goals.

The board will include federal officials, two state governors from different parties, and nine private sector leaders in the manufacturing industry. The first strategy will be due one year after the bill is signed into law, and subsequent strategies will be required every four years, in the second year of each Presidential term.

Under the bill, the President's Board will provide an annual review of the state of manufacturing, assess the implementation of the Strategy's recommendations, and recommend ways to further the Strategy's implementation. Every four years, the Government Accountability Office will analyze the implementation of the Strategy, its recommendations, and the process for developing the Strategy. The National Academy of Sciences will also be required to produce a study of the manufacturing industry to aid policymakers. Public hearings will be held prior to the Strategy's development and a draft of the report will be made available for 30 days for public comments that may be incorporated into the final version."Manufacturing is the lifeblood of the American economy and its continued strength is key to putting Americans back to work.  For too long, manufacturing has received second-class treatment from our government. While Washington hesitates to act, American industries are withering under intense global competition and jobs have gone overseas," said Manzullo, founder and co-chair of the House Manufacturing Caucus. "It's time for the federal government to get serious and implement an agenda to strengthen American manufacturing and restore American jobs, and that's exactly what this legislation will require."

ANOTHER CUSTOM APPLICATION WE DID IN OUR MEXICO'S FACILITY

THE CUSTOMER HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LEAKING OF THE COOLANT IN ONE OF THEIR TAP MACHINES

THEY ASKED US TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR PROBLEM DESIGNING AND ENGINEERING A COVER TO AVOID THIS LEAKAGE. ALSO THEY WANTED TO PROVIDE PROTECTION FOR THE OPERATORS. 

Manufacturing Puts People to Work!

        If the country does not manufacture what it consumes it will loses the stature as a superpower. This is the one of the main conclusion of a poll of 1000 Americans. Very few people are saying we should do nothing. They want a rebirth of manufacturing. 47% of voters said the government should be limited to incentives and trade policy. 39% said the government should do "whatever is required to "revitalize" manufacturing. The support is consistent across all the demographics and represents "very high numbers".

59% of voters favor tariffs on products from countries with low environmental standards. It is all about Buy American and efforts to improve our infrastructure.

Let’s talk a little bit about Customer Service.

Customer service is vital to every business. It is a simple philosophy that should be practiced by everyone in an organization, regardless of their position. The customer service representative must be able to understand customer needs. When a product or service does not perform as expected they should be capable of finding alternative solutions. In a timely manner this person should be able to “think” faster than the customer. It is a little more than treating your customers like you would want to be treated. It is treating your customers the way they want to be treated. Understanding that what you would expect might be different than what your customer might expect.

Not only does BUWW Coverings have an outstanding repair team that provides a standard repair turnaround of 3-5 business days with very high quality, because our covers undergo a stringent check off procedure before being shipped out to our customers; we have the same excellence to deal directly with our customers. For us, customer service is not a department but an attitude. Dedication and unwavering willingness are our tools to better assist customers, because this is what they are looking for. A good smile, good disposition and determination to accomplish each goal as they come! BUWW’s customer service team offers outstanding individualized service, we established a companywide policy requiring all incoming calls being answered on or before the second ring. When your machine is down we understand how frustrating it would be to call and have to speak to an automated voice messaging system.

Social Responsibility

Is Social Responsibility one practice, one concept or a Some of both? Since 90's, to grown a Social Responsibility culture, became almost a management imperative to companies whom intent to remain competitive. Many however feeling their way through an uncharted territory.

There are who affirm that some companies are doing nothing but being regret for produce goods and misery in just one time. Should the time to correct this have come, by social actions? It would be way to turn to the society and say: "Ok, we know that for 200 years we didn't have a good behavior, we extinguised animals and vegetables, we deforests, we polluted rivers and produce millons of pharmacologic around the world, but we are up to correct this mistake. From now we will do our part!"
Some critics may affirm that this is just Social Marketing with no results. But, some Social Responsibility defenders say that this is not the real idea, for them, big companies are "stack in between", and either they promote some social wellness, regardless the government action or they will be like the population.

There is where those social actions in favor of education, enviroment and health start to happen to bring back peoples quality of life. So they can remain, and sometimes, became to be citizens and consumers.
To BUWW Coverings, Social responsibility is an entrepreneurial view that worries about our social context, in other words, it doesn't mean we don't worry about profit. It means that we don't lock at it as an end itself, but as a way to reach a sustainability grown with more quality of life.
