F.T.S. offers several options to help improve how your company runs.

This service is designed to help press operators with problems they may come across on press while running a job. Our goal is to get the job up and running as quick as possible since most problems can be easily fixed over the phone or via Skype/FaceTime. A press operator will get step by step instruction on how to correct the problem, if not permanently, at least to get the job completed. If a problem is only “temporarily” fixed, we will assist on how to correct the problem permanently once the job is completed. We are successful 90% of the time in fixing issues we encounter.

This service is used to get an idea on what and how a product is converted. We will supply you with all the details on the way to convert the product and the best equipment to convert it on. We also provide you with all the cost involved in getting the capability to run such a project. We will also take on new ideas and give you a step by step plan that we feel will provide you the correct means to do the project you would like to convert.

You may want to use this service to feel out a particular market or just see where you stand with your pricing. We also can help you with your day-to-day quotes. Along with the quote, you will receive additional information such as how much waste you should run, how long the job should be on press allowing you to see what profits to expect. 

Please call for more information.

We will link you with the vendor with the most experience and the best products for your project. This service established a line of communication between you and the vendors, which will make your project successful.

If you have a new product that you need training on, give us a call.

This program is setup for one purpose, to locate and identify all production problems that are costly to the bottom line. You will receive a detailed outline of the issues that we come across. This outline will be in the order of importance, so that you may diagram a plan with accurate and impartial information. This will allow you to take the steps necessary to ensure that your profits are where you expect them to be in the future.

This service is designed to help the CEO or the President of Sales decide if they are targeting jobs that best fit their current production facility. On the other hand, they want to know what equipment they would need to improve on current runs, or projects you may be considering. We also will work with a sales force or anyone who needs to be brought up to date on your current capabilities or just general knowledge of the industry.

This managing and scheduling program is set up to work with your production manager, shift supervisor and/or production-scheduling department. If you are doing less than 5 million dollars a year, a single manager should be all you need. In addition, for every 3 to 5 million dollars over that, you will need to look at additional true supervisors. What we do is teach your production manager how and what they should be doing to ensure that your internal department heads receive on time the correct information according to your current production flow.
