ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR SHORT RUNS

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) shapes metal by creating sparks that melt tiny portions of the workpiece, and is an exceptionally diverse process that generates no cutting forces. EDM is especially useful in the production of fragile parts that cannot take the stress of conventional machining. This program examines the EDM process and the two primary forms of electrical discharge machining — ram EDM and wire EDM.

This Engineering a Lean Supply Chain program explores the business practice of supply chain collaboration and explains how companies are "leaning" their supply chain. New competitive pressures have made all manufacturing companies realize they need to be part of a supply chain and focus their business on the part of the process they do best. The constant flow of materials and information within these supply chains can contain a large amount of waste if not managed properly. We will show why collaboration between customers and suppliers is so important and where you can find waste in your supply chain.

Ergonomic Safety

In 28 chapters, the reader is given a top-to-bottom perspective on ergonomics. Starting with a general overview of the subject, Ergonomics in Manufacturing goes on to encompass such specific areas as designing the workplace, evaluating workloads, and monitoring the ergonomics program. Included are details of actual ergonomics programs at work.

Extrusion is the deformation of either metal or plastic forced under pressure through a die to create a shape. Part of the Fundamental Manufacturing Processes Video Series, this unique program is an introduction to both plastic extrusion and metal extrusion processes.
