Had my most relevant vocational visit to date! I was fortunate enough to spend the day with Graham – President of Elphinstone.  Elphinstone is the manufacturer for logging trailers in the lumber industry.  Manufacturing operations, inventory management, and quality systems management systems are similar to our plant.  Graham showcased some new cutting edge designs for his trailer sales to adjust to ever-changing market conditions.  I also learned some valuable strategies on maintaining competitive advantage over competitors prone to copy new designs.
