— Maintenance manager“The Simpson Green Sand Preparation and Control class was time well spent. The program was specifically designed to show the interdependent relationship between maintenance, production and quality departments for achieving quality castings. As a maintenance manager, I gained a better understanding of what defines “good sand”, and the effects of “hot sand”.
