Heat treatment outsourcing advice
The latest edition of CHTA's Hotline newsletter discusses the issue of transition to outsourcing for in-house heat treatment facilities.
Since the Contract Heat Treatment Association (CHTA) was formed over 30 years ago, the question of when it would be better for an in-house heat treatment facility to cease to operate, and its processes be contracted out, has been a major point of discussion With increasing energy cost and pressure from a global market, more companies than ever are asking themselves this very question today
It can be a difficult decision to make: the questions of why, when and how this transition should be made are complex, with both driving and restraining forces to be considered.
The latest edition of CHTA's Hotline newsletter (no.
107) looks at some of the main arguments and shows why this transition is not only possible but also how it makes good business sense.
