The Workbench for ALL Technicians - from Apprentice to Master Level

“And as a technical resource, you’d be hardpressed to find one better than the SPE. One of the best, recent examples of this expertise is the Plastics Technician’s Toolbox, which could easily be renamed the Molder’s Bible. This seven-book set covers everything from mold design and machine operations to polymer science and process troubleshooting. It was designed for and written by molders for molders and should be a bookshelf standard.” Jeff Sloan

“We chose the SPE Toolbox pocket guide to be used as a part of our companies lean manufacturing methodology. One of the goals in lean manufacturing is to implement standard work. We want all injection molding technicians to troubleshoot injection molding problems following a standard format. Due to the quality of the information, and the layout of the SPE Toolbox pocket guide we want to incorporate the guide into our standard work.”
Ray Walter, Lean Sigma Leader, The Hoover Company
