 <title>Automating Mark&#039;s Truss Plant</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/francine-hardaway/world-startups-outside-silicon-valley/automating-marks-truss-plant</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
My friend Mark got hit by the downturn in construction.  He owns a steel truss plant that makes -- surprise--light gauge steel trusses used in the construction of high end homes or commercial and industrial buildings. In the last two years, Arizona has not been a hotbed of new construction activity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
However, there is still SOME work, just not enough to incur overhead. Mark&#039;s problem was how to re-organize to cut costs without losing quality.

 <title>Bio and Interests: Mark McLaughlin</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/profile-bio-and-interests/profile-bio-and-interests-markncprcom</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
I have a great curiosity about anything and everything, which is why I enjoy being a public relations specialist: I get to research many facinating topics, write, talk to experts, and then communicate new concepts to editors nationwide. I also like people, and love the fact that I am paid to talk to interesting folks in different fields. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My interests include green building, construction, health, work safety, social networking, and more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fastcompany.com/profile-bio-and-interests/profile-bio-and-interests-markncprcom&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
