Hope you have a wonderful Easter celebration and a nice holiday. It will be an eventful spring and hard work before a well-deserved vacation. Time goes faster than you think and it's time to submit a holiday request. This year we offer you who take at least three weeks holiday during the winter months extra vacation days. This means that you can get up to an extra holiday week.

THE HUMAN FACTOR - IS IT?

When there is an accident at work, I often hear: “it could not be done differently ” or "Unfortunately that's what's happening". I've been thinking about it a bit and NO, it's not !! It is easy (and nice) to blame the human factor or external circumstances that we believe we can not influence. We can get better at seeing the underlying causes of the human factor that lead to an accident. We are the ones! It is human to make mistakes and we all do - all the time. So dare to make a mistake! How else can we learn and be able to fix the right things to prevent more accidents from happening? If it is carelessness, time pressure, fear, inability, lack of routines or something else that is the cause, it is time that we do something about it.

A SAFE AND SAFE WORKPLACE

When we made a restart in the work environment work, shortcomings in the division of responsibilities of tasks and routines within the work environment work were parts that we had to deal with. We want a Culture where everyone works for continuous improvement for a safe and secure workplace with higher well-being. 5 S is a forum where we have done a lot. Last month, Lilla verkstaden made the most improvements and took home the second 5 S victory in a row. Start each 5 S meeting with a safety review so that we can detect and remedy risks of ill health and accidents in time.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW!
If you know someone who is looking for a collaboration, wants to sell a plot or workshop in Stockholm and the surrounding area, get in touch. We would prefer to buy a workshop or plot in the north, but are open to other opportunities and locations.

A GREAT CHALLENGE FOR THE INDUSTRY

It is a great challenge for the industry to attract new, young and hungry talent to the profession. Almost two years ago, MVR, together with the Swedish Public Employment Service, started a labor market training for steel builders. In April, the third batch begins and soon they will be out on workplace learning (APL). Shout out if you want to become a supervisor.

In March, Ahmad began his internship to develop his knowledge in welding and forging as the last part of his welding education. Wille is his supervisor.  

FAITHFUL CUSTOMER DISCOUNT

In April, a beginner's and an advanced course in pin welding will begin with our skilled blacksmiths as course leaders. Right now, Medborgarskolan offers a loyal customer a discount to those who have taken the beginner course and who want to deepen their knowledge in welding.  

SELLER OF THE MONTH

Congratulations Rizwan on the first order! Pling, pling, pling, pling, pling for parties to Lidingö town hall. Shortly afterwards, Yosef H plunged for the order of three ramps to Wacker Neuson. They will be manufactured in the workshop and then delivered to Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

ECONOMIC NEWS

Yeah! We reached breakeven in March and got a cruel bill! We have become skilled at collecting unpaid invoices. It's time to pay performance salaries for the first quarter and it will be exciting to see how much our project managers get out. Everyone is fighting and doing a fantastic job!

THE WORKSHOP MANAGER HAS THE WORD

The oxidation space became clear. The ladders and fire extinguishers for hot work were marked and numbered. You can sign them out at Affe. A sign of spring that is here is that it is time to change to summer tires on work cars. When they are replaced, the container will be emptied of anything that has nothing to do with the company's cars. A little 5 S - throw everything away unnecessarily! A wonderful feeling!

CULTURE

We perform more if we have fun at work. At the next general meeting, we light the grill in the spring sun. A week later pulls red team to Barcelona to engage in team building. It is really fun that you who work with us make it possible for LUNDGRENS to contribute to Eezer's work to reduce maternal mortality in Africa. In the spring, we will build motorcycle ambulances in Burundi and go to Kenya on a follow-up trip. We also have LUNDGREN's annual summer party to look forward to before we part for a holiday.

Since Riyam started at the end of August, she has struggled to get into the match. This is proof of a very good work effort and a working collaboration. Congratulations Riyam and Yosef!

MC AMBULANCES FOR REDUCED MOTH DEATH

After melting the Kenyan trip, LUNDGRENS decided that we will continue to be involved in the development project Eezer, which works to reduce maternal mortality in the world. The next step in the project is to improve the existing motorcycle ambulance so that it can better cope with the difficult terrain in the African countryside. Devex is developing a drawing for the manufacture of welding jigs. The templates will then be sent to a local workshop in Africa for the manufacture of the wagons. The goal is to build 30 crews in 2018 that will be lent to local organizations in Kenya, Burundi and Congo. A screening sex that passes the Swedish inspection will also be built. Feel free to read the article about Eezer in the magazine Svetsen.

SUCCESSFUL TEAM RESORTS!

Gula team had a super trip in Las Palmas. It was team building at a high level with get-to-know-you exercises, 5-fight, wrestling, excursion in the mountains and much more. They visited a forging workshop that we hope we can start a collaboration with. There were many newcomers on the trip and the group formed a team with a common goal. They agreed that cooperation is the key to success. One of the participants, who has worked for many years in the forging industry, said that he had never experienced anything like this before.

WORKSHOPS

TURN OFF THE FANS!

It's starting to get cold outside and the construction fans are on in the workshop. It happens quite often that there is a full cutter on the fans during evenings and weekends. There is a lot of energy that we waste and here there is money to be saved. It is also worth remembering that we do not work as well when it is too hot. For mobile or physically strenuous work, the temperature should be at least 14-15 ° C, it does not have to be sauna heat...
