Config.sys Intersects With The Tire Swing Cartoon
Anybody who has worked for a company which manufactures and sells products has probably seen the famous cartoon first published back in 1989 in the publication "Total Quality Management". You may even have an old dog-eared photocopy of this very cartoon squirreled away in a filing cabinet somewhere. Even though it's now twenty years old, the meaning behind it is still as fresh as it ever was. With the advances in computer technology, it's taken on another life. There's a website where you can design the latest version of the cartoon, and customize it to suit your own needs. Here's one pertaining to the work we do here at LPS:

Obviously, this is a tounge in cheek nod to all of the parts of a project which can go wrong. And at LPS we do way more complicated projects than a simple tire swing. Imagine an entire playground full of different equipment and you'd be in the ballpark.
The good news is that we do a really great job of "configuring" the "systems" we provide to our customers. The configuration work begins on the front end of things, where we tend to ask a zillion questions so that we understand what the customer expectations are. Once that's done, our next task is to ensure that we, internally understand the commitments made to our customers. It's demanding, but rewarding work which requires great focus on the part of all of our employees. Our ability to configure a single machine or a complete liquid packaging system to meet the customer's needs is one of our strongest assets. l
We are currently working on the latest release of our website. Configuring the machines or systems we produce to meet customer requirments is the overall theme. Rather than paste a plethora of photographs of different models of machinery, we will be leading the viewers down the path of configuration of machines and systems that results in a clearly and cleanly configured project. Whereas the approach of some packaging machinery manufactures is to force fit a standard machine to produce a range of products, we take the opposite approach. We configure the machine to fit the range of products it must fill, cap and label. And that makes all the difference...
