Tim has always been an excellent employee and crucial for keeping things running around here. In our production process, every part we make needs to be cleaned and goes through a cleaning machine for this step. When our cleaning machine went down a few weeks back, that obviously brought our standard workflow to a halt. Tim stepped in right away and started washing all of our critical parts by hand and coordinated that effort with Joey. That allowed parts to keep getting out the door, but was not sustainable. Tim then went above and beyond to get the machine back up and running.
First, he stayed late while talking on the phone with the local distributor to try and solve the problem. When that rep ran out of ideas, Tim came in early (2:30AM) to get on the phone with the manufacturer in Germany. By around 7 am, they had isolated the problem to one circuit and found a part that should solve the problem. When the part arrived the next day, we quickly discovered that the problem was not fixed. Tim then went wire by wire in the machine, hooking and unhooking connections to try and track the source of the problem. He was here until late into the evening again talking to the local distributor. Once again, he came in early (2:30 am) to get back on the phone with the German manufacturer to re-diagnose the problem. This time, the problem was traced back to an actuator. A workaround was identified and the machine was back up and running later that morning.
I really appreciate Tim jumping in and finding a solution. He never complained and always kept the focus on getting this critical piece of equipment back up and running. He has done this countless times over the years and am really grateful he is a part of our team.
