August 3, 2021 The next generation of innovators: encouraging manufacturing careers The push to get more students to take the trades route post-high school has been a trending topic the past few years. In May this year, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced there was a shortage of skilled trades workers in Michigan, a shortage that will continue through 2026. Getting younger generation excited about a career in the manufacturing is crucial to ending this shortage. In 2019, Motor Vehicle Parts and Motor Vehicle Manufacturing accounted for 30.5% of all manufacturing jobs in Michigan, according to the National Association of Manufacturers. This is a fast growing field with opportunity for growth, and DTG is helping to pave the way for young manufacturers. Source: National Association of Manufacturers By 2028, it is projected professional trades will account for 530,000 jobs in the state - Jacob Macinkowicz hopes to be one of the many manufacturing employees. Jacob was a former intern at Dominion. He is a junior at Kettering University, and it's part of his program to complete an internship every other term. Jacob completed 2 internship rotations with Dominion. A career in manufacturing is something that just feels right for him. "I've always liked to take things apart, and I was always able to put them back together," Jacob said. He started on the shop floor for his first term and moved to engineering for his second term. He quickly learned he enjoyed CAD and 3D printing. Jacob is hopeful for the future in his career - and he'd love to stay in the engineering side of things. He recommends this type of program to anyone who asks.

Soon, more machines and staff will move from our Roseville location to this shop. This will clear up space for current and future projects in our Roseville location where our General Assembly projects will be completed! June 7, 2021 Chip shortages, plant shutdowns: how did we get here, what does it mean for Dominion? The semi-conductor chip shortages aren't a new topic of conversation, but we'll still hear about it for awhile longer. Semi-conductor chip manufactures are saying supply will not meet demand for another two years, or until 2023, and the Auto Industry will continue to feel the effects of this shortage through the end of the year. Semi-conductor chips aren't just in cars; they are in almost everything from computers to gaming systems to even smart toasters and toothbrushes. So why is this affecting the Automotive Industry more than any other industry? In early 2020 when COVID-19 forced manufacturing plants to shutdown in the United States, automotive makers like Ford and General Motors canceled their future semi-conductor chip orders, not expecting production to pick up later in the year. Canceled orders were then reassigned to various technology companies whose demand for chips had increased - computer suppliers and smart phone makers suddenly had to supply their products to the workforce now working from home and away from their desktops in the traditional office setting. When the Automotive plants' production picked up, auto makers needed to re-order their canceled semi-conductor chips, and chip suppliers couldn't respond fast enough. These chips are all made to order - you won't find any chips laying around in storage in supplier's manufacturing sites. Shortages have forced many auto makers to shutdown their plants for weeks or months at a time. With no chips to put in their cars, it completely shuts down production. Ford said because of less production, they will cut their input by an estimated 1.1 million cars this year, or a total of $2.5 billion in sales. For Dominion, this means frustratingly rearranging shipments and installments of our machines into our customer's plants and working around their downtimes. Plant downtimes will continue at least through July for our customers. May 3, 2021 What is a Power Purchase Agreement, how does it make DTG more sustainable? Sustainability is a term getting tossed around more and more in the automotive industry - especially since General Motors announced their plan to go completely electric by 2035. As a supplier for GM, this puts Dominion right at the center of this discussion. A few big steps have been taken to make Dominion a more sustainable company - installing LED lights, recycling and reducing paper use, and even entering a power purchasing agreement with DTE. So, what exactly is a Power Purchase Agreement? Simply put, this contract allows a company to work with their energy supplier and specify where exactly the energy a company uses comes from. Dominion has entered a program with DTE Energy called Electric Choice. As a company, we say where a portion of our electricity originates from and get to chose from one or more Alternative Electric Suppliers besides DTE Energy. Electric Choice separates electric service into 3 basic components: generation, transmission and distribution. DTG is helping to promote sustainable energy by entering this agreement and therefore, reducing it's carbon footprint by choosing electric providers that use more green energy. It is the responsibility of manufactures like ours to protect the environment anyway we can. November 11, 2019 Happy Veterans Day Thank you to all the men and women who served out country.
