Wise Problem Solving for Suppliers to the Leather Industry |
|
No
matter how carefully controlled your process is, there will
always be occasions when something goes wrong. After all,
when dealing with such a highly variable substrate as hides
and skins, this is inevitable. When these occasions do arise,
it is important that the cause of the problem is identified
as quickly as possible so that normal production can resume.
Leather Wise has the expertise and access to highly specialised
laboratory equipment to help you identify the causes of problems
and can recommend how to prevent their reoccurrence.
We
can identify the cause of faults occurring at any stage of
processing; typical problems that we can assist with are those
of discoloured or stained leather, weakness, grain damage,
finishing faults etc. We use highly sophisticated laboratory
techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis
and fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy to aid these
investigations. You will find that our reports will, wherever
possible, identify the cause of the fault and recommend methods
that can be implemented to overcome it in simple, easy to
understand terms.
We
are also able to arbitrate in disputes between you and your
supplier or customer. For example, we can determine if a particular
defect originates from the raw material as supplied to you,
or if it occurred during your processing of the material,
or if the failure of a product, such as a pair of shoes, is
due to faulty leather manufacture or faulty construction of
the product. You can be assured that we will always provide
a fair and wholly impartial service.
This
service is charged for at an hourly rate and is very competitively
priced; most problems can be solved for less than £200.
To put it into perspective, if it prevents just one hide from
reaching the reject pile, it will have more than paid for
itself.
