WELCOME President’s Message

WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2012

On behalf of the WAI Board of Directors, welcome to Dallas and the WAI Operations Summit & Wire Expo. This is the Association’s first trip to Dallas with our main event and I hope you enjoy every minute of the experience. The Conference Programming Committee and the Exhibition Planning Committee have mutually developed the program, which includes a great series of presentations, a full exhibit hall, and some time for networking and fun. Look at the program closely as many unique elements have been incorporated. Not to be lost in the details is the fact that the exhibitors are invited to attend any of the presentations and in some cases, your involvement is essential, such as the Machinery Roundtable. Attendees should take every opportunity available to visit the Wire Expo portion of the program, as there are more than 170 companies exhibiting in the Dallas Ballroom. I am grateful to our exhibitors and sponsors as their support is vital to the event. I also appreciate the generous hospitality of Gerdau and Encore Wire, which are hosting plant tours. The event is full of opportunity!

Nicholas Nickoletopoulos WAI President

Meet us at the WIRE EXPO 2012 Booth 802

During the production of wires and cables the LASER Series 6000 measures the outer diameter in a range from 8 mil to 3.07“ (0.2 to 78 mm). The high measuring rate of the gauges allows at the same time a detection of lumps and neckdowns.

NEW & NOTEWORTHY And this event is sponsored by ...

Mordica Lecture not a drive-by

WAI’s Operations Summit and Wire Expo 2012 has seen impressive support from corporate sponsors. The WAI would like to thank these companies for making it possible to put on quality programs. The full list now includes Platinum level: ACIMAF and Sonoco; Gold level: Carris Reels, Inc.; Continuus-Properzi S.p.A.; and SIKORA International, Inc.; Silver level: Wire & Plastic Machinery Corp.; and Woodburn Diamond Die, Inc.; Bronze level: Gold Metal Recyclers; and Red Kite Management (USA), Ltd. Onsite: Amacoil, Inc.; Baum’s Castorine Co., Inc.; Carris Reels, Inc.; Commission Brokers, Inc.; Davis-Standard LLC; Lloyd & Bouvier, Inc.; SIKORA International, Inc.; and Woodburn Diamond Die, Inc. See p. 20.

Steel wire for the automotive sector will be one of the focuses of Prof. Paul Van Houtte, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, who will present his Mordica Lecture on Wednesday, May 23, 2012, from 10:30 am to 11:00 am. He notes auto companies, for one, want to better understand the relation between texture and mechanical behavior and the technology to control it. See p. 27.

Armadillos and a mechanical bull: what more could a reception need? WAI’s reception has always been a great place to mingle with colleagues and friends and some of the past venues have been quite memorable, but this will be the first time attendees are being offered armadillo racing and an opportunity to ride a mechanical bull (hopefully to glory). Indeed, Eddie Deen’s Ranch should provide a new type of experience, and what else would you expect at a Texas setting? The event will be held Tuesday, May 22, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, and spurs are optional. See p. 19.

Production Solutions program to offer information to ‘die’ for on show floor WAI returns to the show floor from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm on Tuesday, May 22, to present Production Solutions, which will include three sessions. For the first time, the program will be held in a designated section on the show floor to offer more elbow room for attendees. The scheduled sessions include: The Wire Break Program: Improved Wiredrawing Productivity, 3:30 pm, Tom Whitcombe, Baum’s Castorine Co. Inc.; Wire Breaks Analysis, 4:00 pm, Horace Pops, Horace Pops Consulting Inc.; and Die Evaluation, 4:30 pm, Ron Garceau and Scott Gipson, Paramount Die Co. See p. 32. 8 | SHOW PROGRAM

Conference Sessions include ... WAI’s Conference Programming Committee met during Interwire 2011 to begin creating a special educational program for 2012. The goal was that any manufacturer should be able to find multiple sessions that would be of interest to their operations, and with contributors including the likes of Alcan, Encore, Southwire, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), General Cable, Leggett & Platt and the Copper Development Association, you’ve got to believe that there will be some information worth hearing. The vast majority of the program was designed by manufacturers for manufacturers, with the focus on practical information. See pp. 26-28.

... a focus on industry success Many companies have success stories to share, and WAI’s Conference Programming Committee felt that such contributions deserve recognition. That belief is the basis for the WAI’s new Operational Excellence program, which spotlights accomplishments in the industry deserving of recognition for excellence in manufacturing and operations. Encore Wire Corporation, General Cable, Gerdau, Viakable and Marlin Steel Wire Products each present their story. See pp. 30-31.

The fundamentals still matter The Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing course will present four sessions on Monday, May 21, taught by industry experts. The program includes: Wire Breaks & Surface Damage, Dr. Horace Pops, Horace Pops Consulting, Inc.; Testing and Properties, Richard Gordon, Gerdau Long Steel North America; Taming the Compliance Beast: Five Ways to Make ISO 9001 Worthwhile, Doug Anton, AEM Consulting Group, Inc.; and Wire Mill Problem Solving, Richard Gordon, Gerdau Long Steel North America, See p. 24.

The event, which will include presentations, panel discussions and more, will take place Monday, May 21, and Tuesday, May 22.

Awards ceremony: Monday night The WAI will hold its awards ceremony at a reception Monday night. The event will honor those who have made significant contributions to the industry, including the winners of the Mordica and Donnellan awards, paper awards and more. See p. 14.

Keynote speaker is a firm believer in the potential for capitalism to deliver In a world of “talking heads” that often see just doom and gloom, keynote speaker Dr. W. Michael Cox sees potential as long as capitalism can be allowed to do its job. Cox is the director of the O’Neil Center for Global Markets and Freedom, a research institute within Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business. See p. 21.

CITY OF DALLAS

WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2012

A city accustomed to a starring role With a reported population of nearly 1,300,000 people, Dallas is the ninth largest city in the U.S., but many believe that its reputation was truly branded by a Texas-sized TV soap opera bearing that name that ran from 1978 to 1991. Dallas was founded in 1841 and became a city in 1856. The city rose to prominence as a center for the oil and cotton industries, and its position along numerous railroad lines. Dallas developed a strong industrial and financial sector, and a major inland port, bolstered by the presence of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, one of the largest and busiest airports in the world. The city is home to the third largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the nation. It has also been a place where forMain Street Garden, a city park, is surrounded by historical buildings such tunes are made (or at least based), as it is as Mercantile Place, the Universities Center at Dallas and Old City Hall. home to 17 billionaires as of 2011 rankings.

They are the Dallas Cowboys, ‘America’s Team’.” Sports may be a big attraction, but the single most notable event held in Dallas is the State Fair of Texas, which has been held annually at Fair Park since 1886 and is the largest state fair in the U.S. The event, which goes on for 24 days, had 2,618,500 attendees in 2010.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

WAI OPERATIONS SUMMIT & WIRE EXPO 2012

5 Industry Success Stories News comes in a relentless stream, and much of it has to do with information that on a daily basis can be both discouraging and numbing. Yet for all the negative stories about struggling economies, rising costs for energy and political upheaval, there is good news as well, and it deserves to be reported. The reality is that manufacturing as a whole is a significant contributor and it most certainly has not become old news from a past era. The wire and cable industry has continued to find new ways and better ways of providing quality products that make a difference in everyday life. Many companies have success stories to share, and WAI’s Conference Programming Committee felt that such contributions deserve recognition. That belief is the basis for the Association’s new Operational Excellence program, which spotlights accomplishments in the wire and cable industry deserving of recognition for excellence in manufacturing and operations. The presentations will be held Tuesday, May 22, from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm in Trinity Ballroom 1-2-3. There will be five independent case studies, each of which will be followed by a brief Q&A period. Be prepared to be inspired.

Feature Presentation Case Study 1: 1:30 pm The Encore Success Story Presenter: Daniel L. Jones President/CEO, Encore Wire Corp., USA Jones will share the amazing story of Encore’s growth which is based on their continuous reinvestment in the company, and their collaborative approach with suppliers and customers as well as their ability to maintain a high-

quality team of employees. Encore Wire, which was formed in 1989, operates from a single 192-acre campus in McKinney, Texas, that includes a new R&D center, as well as state-of-the-art manufacturing, an expansive warehouse, and rod mill. Encore manufactures commercial and residential building wire as well as metal-clad and armor-clad cable.

30 | SHOW PROGRAM

Case Study 2: 1:55 pm Expanding Supplier Integration to Logistics Presenters: Greg Wells, Corporate Manager of Transportation, General Cable, and Ken Gray, Branch General Manager, C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc., USA For decades, General Cable sourced transportation services based largely on lowest initial cost and had at best a transactional relationship with carriers. Entering the recession, the company challenged its core carriers to

become integrated business partners, and embraced their expertise and resources to maximize overall relationship value. The integration model with C.H. Robinson is an excellent example as it has evolved into a highly effective transportation and load planning management process. This integration has resulted in lower cost per unit, improved quality and increased capacity, especially critical given the tightness of the current transportation marketplace. Case Study 3: 2:20 pm Development of a 230 kV System, Cable, and Accessories Presenter: Patricio G. Murga, Director of Technology & Development, Viakable SA de CV, Mexico. This presentation describes the development of the 230 kV system undergone by Viakable from 2008 to 2011. This project included the development of an insulated power cable, for 230 kV, 2,000 mm2 – copper, and a sys-

tem using ABB-Kabeldon accessories. The presentation includes the technology development, the cable and process design, the extra-high-voltage (EHV) testing area design and construction, and alliances with well-known international laboratories for the witnessing process. The 230 kV system was tested for more than a year in Viakable’s state-of-the-art EHV laboratory, and met the proper international specifications.

Case Study 4: 2:45 pm Going Green: Interconnecting the Environment and the Shop Floor Presenters: Bruno Lioi, Regional Director of Operations, Gerdau – Wire Products, and Thomas Sondgeroth, Sales Manager, Gerdau – Carrollton Wire Products, USA.

A single Amacoil/Uhing assembly may be used for winding many different diameter materials. Automatic reversal of the traverse is mechanically controlled – without clutches, cams or gears. No electronics or programming needed. FEATURES • Zero backlash. • Automatically synchronizes pitch with take-up reel rotational speed. • Traverse drives with up to 800 lbs. axial thrust. • Smooth, unthreaded shaft won't clog or jam – no bellows assembly needed. • One inexpensive, unidirectional motor drives both the traverse and take-up reel. • Free movement lever – no need to "jog" system on and off to position linear drive. • Options and accessories for every winding situation. • Light, medium and heavy-duty systems.
