Is your company taking unnecessary risks with fabrication and assembly? Our latest white paper breaks down the assembly process, points out potential risks, and provides possible solutions.
When we think about reducing risk in the workplace, what's the first image that comes to mind? Probably someone wearing goggles and a hard hat. While those are good practices, not all workplace risks involve physical injury. Some of them involve injury to your efficiency and profitability. Reducing those risks often means taking a hard look at how your fluid systems are designed, fabricated and assembled.
A 2015 survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers revealed that focusing on risk management saves time on the front end of a business decision, and on the back end it relieves the cost and time challenges of responding to a previously unseen risk.
Obviously, low-quality parts introduce one kind of risk. But even high-quality parts can pose risks if you can't get them quickly, or if the materials aren't chemically compatible with the fluids in your system. Then there's the question of the design itself. You can have two designs that both get the job done, but one may have too many potential leak points or take up too much space.
The risks also extend beyond the efficient operation of your fluid system. Think of the risk to your company's reputation if you can't deliver what your customers are expecting.
Our six-page paper, available here as a free download, looks at these risk in detail and lays out some of the ways a company can reduce them. This is not a sales brochure. In fact, you might even have trouble spotting the Swagelok name once you get past the title page.
Risk mitigation done well is a competitive advantage. It increases efficiencies and enables growth.
If your company rarely has to design, fabricate and assemble its own systems, this white paper will help you consider some of the less-visible challenges involved. If your company frequently designs, fabricates and assembles, this white paper can be a useful tool for improving performance.
The smartest way to deal with a risk is before it blossoms into a problem. But you have to know what to look for. Download our white paper today for some insight from the experts in fluid systems.
