Welcome to the new issue of the Gateway! We’re going to start the way we’ve been ending a lot of these introductory thoughts in the event we’re too busy to read to the end.
If you’ve got a story you’d like to share, we’d love to hear it. Send us anything you’ve got, and we’d be happy to consider it for publication in the pages of this magazine. If you have an idea you’d like to check in with us first before dedicating time to it, by all means, reach out to chris@thegatewaymag.com and he’ll set you straight on whether or not it’s something we’d be interested in running. That said, he’s interested in just about anything, so don’t be shy!
This magazine exists to put the spotlight on YOU. So take advantage of it. If you’re not sure how it works or where to start, we can guide you. It’s easy. It’s painless. And it’s effective. Just ask anyone who has had a spotlight published in the past. People are paying attention. So why not shift their attention to what you’re working on and how your business can help them with theirs.
Okay, with that out of the way, here’s what we have in story for our July edition:
Our friend Paul Critchley is back with the latest installment of his “Lean” series of articles. This new piece dwells on the notion of “Just In Time” manufacturing and how we ought to be thinking about it, rather than how it may be currently perceived. It’s an interesting article to think on.
The second feature is written by Denis Gagon, CEO of Belt Technologies down in Agawam, Massachusetts! Denis put together a piece entitled “Incorporating Improved Automation for Increased Production and Lower Costs,” which positions technology and innovative processes to bolster manufacturing efficiencies. It’s a great read. We hope you’ll think so too!
Hope you’re all keeping cool out there!
