“Hey Tim. Do you know George Kere …”, my boss begins to ask me.
“Keremedjiev? Hell yes I know him! He is a rock star! Why do you ask?”, I respond.
“He is here in the conference room.”
I go find George and got a warm greeting. Not because he is doing business with my employer. He gave me a warm greeting because we have a mutual respect for each other.
And that feeling of respect came at a good time in my day (I have too many armchair Monday morning quarterback critics).
George, as you all know, has been the author of the monthly column, Electronics in Metalforming & Assembly in Metalforming Magazine for the past 25 years. I grew up on reading his excellent work.
He also specializes in domestic and global consultations/seminars for both technical and managerial personnel.
George proudly announced to the group that they had two PMA authors in the room. I was proud just to be standing in the same room as George.
George Keremedjiev is deeply passionate about dies and American manufacturing. He is currently doing something that no one else has done: He is offering free in-house die protection seminars.
That’s right. Free. You just pay a measily $500 in travel expenses. I can’t drive from Detroit to Grand Rapids for less than $500 in gas and speeding tickets.
He is not out to make a bunch of money by hearing himself speak. George genuinely wants you to eliminate die crashes and bad stampings. He wants you to succeed.
Do your company and me a favor: Take George up on his offer. The day rate for a die consultant is around $2000 USD. But, please, take me up on my offer: pay it forward.
If George is willing to visit you for a day for free, then at least pay him $995, plus the $500 for his flight, and get him a room and room service on your tab. If he saves you just one hour of downtime in the stamping plant, it just paid for his visit.
Why am I a big fan of George? He is simply the most knowledgeable person I know on manufacturing in general and specifically die protection. George is also an outstanding public speaker to boot.
His website, mfgadvice.com has the details.
Tim I could not agree more with your words about GK. Given the situation within the auto industry companys can not afford costly die damage, If companys are smart they will not just listen to George but will go a step further and implement a sensor program where they will quickly realize the advantages of doing so. I have had the pleasure of meeting with George many times and am more impressed by him at each meeting.
thanks for that Jim – and thanks for reading.
George is a keeper for sure!!
