Our facility produces finish-machined powdered metal parts for automotive. As a result, we have a LOT of generated heat in the plant, both from the sintering furnaces (14), and the machining centers (>150).
There is no airconditioning in the plant - lots of fans on the floor, and open skylights in the roof, to keep it from becoming COMPLETELY unbearable, however even with this, there is (I believe) a definite correlation in environmental conditions and productivity/quality. If I can demonstrate this, I -=MAY=- be able to get some $ invested to improve conditions.
