DCS DIGEST - DEC EDITION

Happy Holidays to You and Your Family

2021 was a strange year, and full of worries and loss. We at DCS hope you and your family are safe and healthy.

At DCS, we have strived to help those we can in our community and our company. During the pandemic, DCS did its best to help keep those who were let go employed and moved to a remote work environment to promote good health and safety.

I am happy to say, that despite the pandemic and shortages, DCS has had a good year. This is only because of you, our friends, partners, and clients, and the work that you do every day to make better products, and help improve the lives of others. With all our heart, we want to thank you and wish you a happy holiday season.

Giving Back to the Community

At DCS, we feel strongly about our community. During the holidays, in particular, it is important to remember those less fortunate and to offer a helping hand.

As part of this effort, DCS supports the Community Housing Network every year in their outreach to help families find affordable housing, food, and support, and to have some extra help during the holiday season.

Community Housing Network is a nonprofit organization committed to providing homes for people in need through proven strategies of homelessness prevention, housing assistance and development, community education and referral, advocacy, and additional services. We carry out our work in primarily Southeast Michigan.

We help people who are homeless, people with disabilities, and anyone in a housing crisis. Our Housing Resource Center, a one-stop-shop for all things housing, directs people to resources at Community Housing Network and other organizations. We collaborate closely with our community partners to provide the highest level of service possible to those who need it most.

If you can, please support your local charities and non-profits, and if able, provide what help you can.

If you'd like to help the Community Housing Network, you can contact them here or you can reach out to Carrie Zink (czink@3dcs.com) at DCS to provide support.

Need a Laugh? Find Out if Your Thanksgiving Quality is in Compliance

We all know that quality departments make sure that every part made at any manufacturing plant is perfect. We know this because the CAD model shows us how the parts fit, and their exact dimensions, and of course, when made, those parts always conform to those exact specifications as long as you measure them and file the measurements away in a closet, or drawer, or whatever.

The point is, having a quality department ensures that your parts are perfect every time, and we can use this same mindset along with buzzwords to ensure that all other aspects of our lives are also perfect, especially the holidays.
