The value of the industry

"The industry is ready and need professionals ready to make your career a success" international competitionand the short life of the products make the most precious of our companies value of perseverance "

I have devoted all life to industry. Not only in the Group Soler & Palau (S & P), the side of thefounders, specialized in international industrial expansion, but also in the employer work,conventions, and now in the Eduard Soler Foundation transferring personal qualified andtechnology companies in the metal. In the middle of the last century a young man entered into acompany - in our case at the school of apprentices of S & P-, was an apprentice a few years andwas climbing the ladder of the professional categories. I grew up in the culture of each companyand formed part of this for a lifetime.

Today industrial processes have accelerated. Practically no time to repeat our responsibilities;every year we have to learn new things. Mechanical metal staff, also. Despite these permanentchanges, we have identified the skills that our employees need to make companies morecompetitive. In the process-oriented enterprises (pharmaceutical, food, metallurgical, etc),differential competencies are technological. We seek, therefore, a highly specialized to permanentlyincrease the productivity of the process.

When you look at the differential powers of companies that have sophisticated products -household appliances and machinery in general-Mechatronic products, we realized that, in additionto the technological skills, are central to so-called personal skills, such as teamwork, asynchrony orthe commercial vision. Staff must develop these competencies to enable companies to competeinternationally.

The companies of the metal mechanic sector have taken positions as service. A mould does notsell molds, but mold productivity already. Moulds, machines, dies, being sold for parts/second oreuros/second; it not only takes into account the productivity, but also maintenance, media,

materials.To be competitive in these markets, apart from the technology and personal skills, it was

essential to integrate values and values within the enterprises management. Professional teams, ifthey want to offer a good service, have to share values. There are companies that have alreadybegun to explain them and evaluate them in the form of attitude. The definition of these values isimportant; It does need to be shared by professionals, but also for society, especially for providersand customers. In the Eduard Soler Foundation we have defined our values ensuring that theywere cross-cutting and suitable for the metal industry. These are: responsibility, honesty,commitment, respect, progress and perseverance.

What distinguishes us from other sectors is probably the latter, perseverance. The metal or themodern update Mechatronics is a demanding sector, professionally. International competition andthe short life of products made of perseverance the most precious business value.

One of the students of the Foundation had to leave school because they could not pay is theresidence or child support. Asked if he was willing to work as nice - very young age, eighteen-.Metal companies have to work 24 hours a day to pay off the equipment and proposed her toparticipate at the start of the third shift of a mechanical manufacturing company. Accepted it: Jordiarrives to work at eleven in the evening; It uses five-axis numerical control milling machines andthree-dimensional control machines; It has a good salary and you can help his parents and siblings;eight in the morning to midday is going to class; the first year it has approved everything. Jordi isthe example of a person willing to persevere to achieve their goals. It will be a good professional ina sector that can offer good jobs.

In this difficult economic environment, we can find opportunities, companies and professionals. Itis necessary to remember and share the values of successful organizations, contribute to developthem and to create wealth. I am convinced that the industry is one of the mainstays of our country.We have a culture and an identity suitable to be a technological and commercial power. It is missingthat we let us use the best part of our assets: people. The culture of work and values.

The industry is ready and needs professionals ready to make your career a success. We needpersevere and strive to learn every day, technology, teamwork, internationalization, orientation inthe market and, above all, trusting that the Catalan industry has reserved a place in theinternational arena. An industry that, if we keep it competitive, will serve so that we have betterschools and hospitals. We can be a rich country; you just have to persevere.
