About NERDS, Incorporated
HISTORY
NERDS, Inc. (Nebraska Educators Really Doing Science) is a small corporation
started by a single science teacher (Jake Winemiller) Its purpose is to make
money by producing products of the highest possible quality and offer them to
teachers at a fair price.
Jake Winemiller started making water rocket launch pads approximately 12 years
ago under the tutelage of Dr. Ronald J. Bonnestetter. Over the years many
design changes have occurred leading up to the latest design, an all aluminum
launch pad. The Nerds, Inc launcher is (in our opinion) the nicest launcher on
the market. It is designed to take the greatest classroom use and abuse and,
additionally, it is designed to be modified should the owner ever want to
upgrade to a fully pneumatic launch system.
PHILOSOPHY
Our company operates on the Deming operational model. We emphasize quality
because we think that a product that is of maximum quality leads to lower
corporate costs. We believe that most defects in a product are a result of a
poor corporate system not a result of poor workers. We buy all of our
non-in-house components from vendors who are committed to a quality product.
POLICY
We strive to give the customer maximum support regardless of cost to the
company. We believe that this will produce maximum customer loyalty to our
corporation and its products and, in the long run, will maximize profits.
