WHAT'S WORKING

Continued from page 63

into the future. This commitment is no
small matter. To keep these instruments
flying, the PSI engineering team has
worked with the FAA and select original equipment manufacturers to design
and produce replacement parts that are
either out of production or difficult and
expensive to procure. Williams calls
this a "value-added service." The result
is lower costs, shorter lead times and
elimination of any need to scrap repairable parts due to parts shortages.
As an example of the commitment
PSI has toward legacy instruments,
the company became the exclusive
worldwide distributor of Superior
Labs Inc. tachometers. Kim Bishop,
owner of SLI said, "We have always
taken pride in our manufacturing process and strict supervision of quality
control. Having PSI coordinate the
marketing and distribution end of the
business allows us to maintain our focus on what we do best."
Recently, PSI made a large investment in MRO and logistics software.
The result is improved efficiency and
an optimization of operational performance.

Joubert recently spoke about the loyalty of the "seasoned group of industry
professionals" employed at the company.
With its employee stock ownership plan,
all 53 PSI employees have an equity interest, which leads to a shared and common passion to take extra steps to serve
the customer. Joubert stressed that being
an ESOP company, "creates a collaborative work environment dedicated to success at all levels. The ESOP provides a
significant benefit to PSI employees. It
allows management to make long-term
decisions for the good of the company
and allows employees to focus on their
daily responsibilities while building value for the whole PSI team. We recognize
the most important asset for the overall
success of the company is our staff, so
building long-term growth and security
for each individual employee has contributed to PSI securing some of the best
talent the industry has to offer."
PSI has many things working for it.
It is well connected in the industry, has
extensive capabilities and maintains
profitable collaborations. The company takes advantage of opportunities.
Perhaps most importantly, it has an invested group of seasoned professionals
committed to customer service.
So what's working for you? q
