    Mechanical skills testing for plant employees - ideas to implement?

    I have been on both sides of this, and I can tell you one thing. Invest the time and energy in training your people to do what you need in a safe, standardized way. Give them the tools and training to do this. It will in itself, give you a good indicator of the cross-section of skills you have...

    How best to approach and explain decisions on hiring to HR

    I have used a DDI format interview guide. If nothing else, it gives you a consistancy from interview to interview (Score by situation / experience).

    Water/Oxide Staining on Duplex 2205

    I would check back with the mill, looking at the picture it seems a little too localized to be from rinsing. They should be rinsing with hot water, evaporation= minimized staining.

    Lifting slings for pickle process

    Hello StoneCold Yes we looked at SS but there are some concerns around compromising the safety factor of the chains over time. We are lifting up to 9000lbs of product and immersing them into the acid then lime tanks. It seems we have slings that are good for one or the other, but not both.
