No one ever thought portable devices that would revolutionize a variety of industries so quickly. Organizational processes coupled with technologies to track projects and maintain schedules have become of paramount importance to an organization’s financial health.
The impact of iDevices have changed business in ways that those who have failed to adapt are in jeopardy of business failure. Innovation in processes are also important to keep work flowing smoothly through a fabrication facility. Unfortunately, constant deadlines preoccupy many fabrication business Owners from thoroughly examining their work flow. Developing a coherent system of transmitting accurate communications via portable devices is a necessity in today’s world. Costly errors are usually the result of poor communications which can add additional pressures to General Contractors who subcontract solid surface fabrications.
To address this issue, ASST takes the organization and management of it’s projects very seriously. ASST’s Critical Operating Events and Tasks (COETS) for organizational process is one of the key benefits of working with us. From the beginning, your project is organized into 21 Event Steps from initial pricing to final onsite installation. The details of your project are properly planned and field verified, with shop drawings, prepared for approval prior to fabrication. Items for large millwork pieces are labeled and coded with field seaming joints and/or match lines indicated for the onsite installer. During production, your project is also checked for Quality Assurance to confirm that AWI standard are achieved. Portable iDevices are utilized to record production tasks conform to Architect’s specifications. These are just some of things we do to get a overhead view of your whole project. All of these 21 Event Steps are accessible via portable devices for use by project managers, installers and the fabrication team. We are always aware of the specific Event Step your project is presently located if you ever have a question!

Just anyone can build casework right? Well, in a word no. At least not for healthcare and educational project applications. The quality has to be excellent and the service extraordinary. Rigorous requirements for LEED ® certification and FSC materials are further limiting the options available in the marketplace. General Contractors are also under pressure to bring to the table excellent casework subcontractors that prequalify well and limit risk to themselves and the Owner.
There are numerous ways of constructing casework but few can withstand the rigors of a healthcare or educational environment. Typical problems can include the use on non-moisture resistant MDF or particle board. Some fabricators do not follow AWI quality casework standards in their construction means and methods. They instead substitute with low cost materials and finishes that do not meet the Architect’s specification.
To address this issue, ASST has found value in providing a more proactive comprehensive solution. A “one stop” solid surface/ casework/millwork custom solution incorporating a wide variety of finish materials. ASST has now partnered with TMI Systems Corporation as a dealer for their line of casework. Based in North Dakota, TMI is a leader in quality casework fabrication. They are an excellent reputable resource and ASST looks forward to working with them on many future projects. With this new alliance, ASST can perform work with wood veneers, plastic laminate, Trespa®, stone, metal, glass as well as all brands of solid surface and resin plastic materials. Our innovative team of estimators, planners and project managers collaborate and deliver project results in a way few competitors can. We look forward to working with you on your next project!

Athletic Teams work together in different roles to win a game. Good teamwork comes from members combining their specialized talents to achieve an end goal or resolution. The construction industry is a tough business. Building Professionals who are dedicated to embracing change and make the effort to work in concert with customers will reap the benefits of business success.
The Customer is always right. The Customer is centric to our business. We have all heard these well worn phrases. How do we implement the creation of a great team of people working to their potential? A lack of alignment between employee’s desire to listen to customers and resolve issues is a very real problem for many organizations striving to create a customer oriented culture.
At ASST, we strive to keep the customer focus with the alignment of our mission with our name and slogan.
ASST (pronounced ASisST) keeps that focus in front of all employees.
Going Beyond™ is our work ethic.
Beyond Surface Level Solutions™ is ASsiSTing with challenges others avoid.
Every week, the team has a meeting where a team member describes how he/she was Going Beyond for a customer on a specific project or internally with their team. The intended outcome for these meetings is to build an awareness of other team member’s contributions by “raising the bar” for professional behavior and peak personal performance. ASST also routinely solicits feedback from our customers which can provide a unique window into what our customers think and feel.
Although the above steps can be difficult for any organization to implement, setting the tone for a positive culture of teamwork and great customer service will pay off in the future.
