The Ultimate in Reality ShowsThe last two weeks went by so quickly and watchingtelevision has never been as entertaining. The ul-timate in reality shows, The Olympics! For thesetwo weeks the world was able to put politics asideand glean some of the most exciting team compe-titions from athletes around the world.

Observing the skills, strength, focus and determina-tion of these young athletes is such a metaphor forhow important our “teams” are in business. Whenyou think you have seen the best, the next game,bout or routine is even more exceptional. Itcertainly goes to show that even when you thinkyou have seen the best, there is always room for im-provement. In business this is now commonly re-ferred to as Kai Zen.

Here at Duro Dyne we are always working on im-provement. Two years ago we implemented ISO9000-2008 which has fostered an improved means for conducting ourbusiness. In order tosuccessfully maintainthis new way of run-ning our business, wemust document andtrack each and everyprocess that takesplace from order entry, human resource,

purchasing, production and shipping/receiving. Inputting this into action we have found that it hasgenerated more consistency and efficiency in thejobs that are done and created more of a teamspirit to get the job done the right way with a lim-ited amount of waste all of the time.

Having the right team, which both Duro Dyne andthe U.S. Olympic team have, has proven to be theright formula for success. Congratulations to all ofthe medal winners around the world, especially toTeam United States for winning the most medals.Hard work and determination are the keys for suc-cess. Thanks to everyone on Team Duro Dyne forkeeping us in the lead in theHVAC industry.

London Olympics by the Numbers

The Olympic Games have grown dramaticallysince 1908 when they were first held in London.Then just a little more than 2,000 athletes --nearly all of them men -- competed for 110 goldmedals. But this summer, more than five times thatmany athletes, 10,500 competed for 302 goldmedals. All gold medals, however, are not alike.The ones just awarded over a two week periodcontain just 6 grams of gold. They're mostly silver.A century ago, the gold medals were entirely gold. As of 2012, here are some other interesting facts

Our Good Times' Summer SpecialMy name is Marie Erazo and I

started working for Duro Dyne in1986 in our mail room. I now liketo call it the Product Library be-cause it is much more than just amail room.

I send out masses of bindersand literature, not to mentionthe promotional items whenDuro Dyne has its grand giveaways.

The remarkable Duro Dynesalesmen are all very special tome. They keep me very busy,along with my other jobsthroughout the office.

Our Literature Manager is oneof a kind, but much more thanthat. We all rely on Marie to getwhat we need, to finish a project,and to just allow things to run smoothly.

Marie was born in Brooklynand when she isn’t putting

all her daytime effort intoDuro Dyne, she worksthree to four nights

a week at Marburn Cur-tains. She spends every

weekend with her grand-daughters: Madison who is

eight years old and Armonii who is 13.There is no task too daunting for this hard-work-

ing gal who is one of Duro Dyne’s most de-voted, dependable and dedicated.

Marie is our Good Times' Summer Special andour Duro Dyne Extraordinaire.
