Hey everyone sorry this post comes a few days late, but as you can tell by the title I've been extremely busy and haven't had allot of time to write anything. Anyways to get you up to speed on current events I would like to point out a few projects I've been working on. Last week I worked on throwing together a power point to help with the 3rd quarter presentation. This presentation included a list of all major engineering projects and included photos and videos highlighting certain projects. The presentation was about 25 to 30 slides long and so take at least 30 minutes at minimum to present.
Other projects last week were Wallace Stone modifications to accommodate the changes in their setup seeing they are looking at a different Jaw crusher then what was proposed before. Also John and I went up to the Crow Island site (asphalt) and survey the inventory tanks to start and new batch of data for the elevations of the two tanks. This is interesting because you really get to see and understand how the weight of certain materials can make things shift and cause problems. I also created an excel sheet and graph the difference in height among the 5 points we surveyed on each tank. So all in all I've been very busy, and a little piece of advice for all future CO-OP's if you have a moment for rest I suggest you take it because you never know when you'll have another chance.

Levy = Tigers Playoff Baseball
Hey Everyone, to start this blog off I would first like to say I hope the Tigers win the 2 remaining games against the Rangers to Advance to the World Series, both ALCS games I went to where off the charts amazing. (Pretty Convenient the the stadium is a short drive form work) Go Tigers!!!!
Now onto Levy, this week John and I took the drawing measurements from Wallace Stone and applied them to CAD files we created, now we are just tweaking things here and there to create the proposal that is necessary to get this project rolling. I also contact CSD about possibly completing a in house Levy google search engine of all our compounded CAD drawings off the G drive, they are currently reviewing this and will get back to me as soon as they figure out a good way of feasibly doing this. I also contact Russ Burke at Burns Harbor to see where they were at with my Truck displacement proposal, in which he told me they haven't decided a course action as of yet but they will address the issue at their next Lean team meeting. I was also approached by my boss to let me know that in mid-November I will be travel down to Charleston, SC and doing measurements on the Copper Plant so that we can design and implement Fall protection for annual maintenance that is performed on the Roof's AC units. This week I believe one lesson learned is that the more you communicate with people the easier it is to answer questions, so don't be afraid to pick the phone and make a call because chances are they probably have the same questions on their minds as well.
Just for Fun here was the veiw from my seat at the ALCS Tigers game.

Wallace Stone
Hey Everyone, this weeks post will be a little shorter seeing I've had two rare weekdays off this week, because I will be working over the weekend at Wallace. This week has consisted of travel and more travel. On the bright side however the meeting in Canton, Ohio was very productive and we are working together to come up with a solution to truck bed problem as well as making the trucks more efficient. I learned about working along side your peers in a team atmosphere to brainstorm solutions to a difficult problem. This weekend John and I will be working to attain infortmation necessary to assist in a Jaw Crusher Replacement. This week has been interesting and anything but dull.
