Urick recently announced shorter lead times for all products
- Non-core jobs: 6 to 8 weeks
- Jobs requiring core: 10 weeks
- Machining: Add 3 weeks
- Additional value add process: Add 2 weeks
These improvements would not have been possible without the company's vigorous recruitment and training efforts, with a strong emphasis and commitment to employee retention. Toward that end, Urick has:
- Increased base pay
- Improved step process to get to higher rates
- Nearly tripled improvement in shift differential
We've also incorporated "work hardening" into our training routine. While there is still extensive training in our training room, and working safely is our number one priority, folks are getting out on the shop floor faster while building their foundry muscles over a period of weeks.
