OUR TEAM IS YOUR TEAM

With an average of over 20 years of sawmilling experience, BID team members have ‘Sawdust in Their Boots’ to give you the confidence you need. Our highly-skilled site leaders will partner with your team members to build and execute a continuous improvement plan tailored to your specific needs.


During our assessment, we will review:
  • Maintenance routes, communication, and computerized maintenance management software (CMMS)
  • Machine Asset health
  • Critical parts inventory
  • Training requirements (from beginner to advanced levels)
  • Downtime and productivity issues at all production stages
  • And more

Our programs are a collaboration. We coach, mentor, and train your team to be engaged in the platform we’ve built so that they can take control of the process. Training is customized specifically to fill in any knowledge gaps your team may have to ensure your mill is running at optimal performance.

Curious about how our customers have grown their production by up to 18% per year?

“Being a new mill with a workforce that is new to the lumber industry we were faced with a lot of educational opportunities. The BID team worked with us in developing a Reliability Program that met our specific needs. They were very responsive to our requests and made adjustments to the program as our needs changed. At the end of the program, we had a maintenance team that had a solid technical understanding of the equipment, detailed preventative maintenance documentation, and a great working relationship with BID technicians that we as a mill can depend on. The BID team was great through the entire Reliability Program, and I can’t thank them enough for everything they did to help us improve our facility.”
