Also - in order to get a better understanding of your place, lets try to nail down the following:
What kinds of machines are being used? mills, lathes, saws, and grinders?
What metals are being worked? Brass? Bronze? Stainless steel? Titanium? Nickel alloys? The list is nearly endless but groups of metals have common characteristics. Should the answer be that a variety of metals are being worked, get a list and determine which metal is the most worked? FYI, there are over 60 carbon steel varieties, 50 aluminum alloys, 90 tool steels, 25 stainless steels, and 60 nickel alloys for starters.
What type of shop is this? Job shop? Prototype? Mass production? Specialty operation? Single operation?
What is being used now?
What types of problems are you having now and what they are trying to achieve?
Sorry for so many questions, but in order to provide you with the best ideas, I need to get a bit detailed. Thanks.
