Hear what the experts said about economics
William Bullock
"Giving the worker the opportunity to own the process is key. I’ve seen facilities give equipment operators purchase cards to buy parts and come up with ways to make equipment run better. This model is a change of culture and it takes a lot of training. But it’s one that leads to a much higher level of productivity, proficiency, and quality improvements. It's definitely worth the investment to go in that direction."
Victor D'Amato
"We need to do more with less. In this economy, productivity and quality are the two t hings that give you the competitive edge… If you can increase your productivity while maintaining your operating budget, you will have the competitive edge."
"You can actually improve productivity while enhancing safety and stay on budget, but there is an art to doing that. You have to be innovative and resourceful."
John Henshaw
"Manufacturing superintendants want products that help them get results at a lower cost, which in turn improves the net productivity for the entire operation. Everyday they are looking for ways to get a greater bang for the buck for their organization."

Dräger Safety Inc.
Dräger solutions have a lower overall cost of ownership than lower-priced alternatives. You may have to buy two to three gas sensors to get the same longevity as one Dräger gas sensor. The Dräger X-am® 5000 series portable gas detectors that work with the X-zone can still be used as stand-alone gas detectors. This 2-in-1 functionality helps bring down total cost of ownership.
