The skills gap has been highlighted again by the latest figures from The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), showing that fewer than half of new engineering recruits have neither the necessary technical nor soft skills needed for work within the industry.
For fabricators, having the right skilled support in place is vital to keep machines running, and that is where the KallKwik team’s combined industry experience of more than thirty-five years comes into its own.
Josh Goodwin, Technical Director at KallKwik, explains: “Our Maintenance Plan offers fabricators the opportunity to outsource the everyday tasks of tooling and machinery management. Our team is focused on getting the best performance from machinery for fabricators, and our specialist maintenance plans are by far the easiest way to ensure the smooth running of machines, offering assessment, planned maintenance and emergency cover.”
The plan offers a consultation and audit to assess the performance and tooling requirements of machines, ahead of any required cleaning or repairs. While the ongoing plan focuses on improving productivity within the factory setting, as well as the quality of the output. By suggesting machinery upgrades, adjustments in software, or a more streamlined production layout, the KallKwik team can get the best possible performance from every machine.
Josh adds: “Fabricators need the specialist skills, but with a shortage across the board of suitable candidates, having access to a highly trained and experienced team through our maintenance programmes, gives customers the security they need.”
