Value Stream Mapping uncovers the shop floor side and human element behind this lean continuous improvement process. See the process and outcomes of a two-day training event at Jotul North America.

Valuing Lean Manufacturing Initiatives

This program includes information on welding join design, joint edge shape, and preparation. It focuses on the array of welding processes and arranges them into two major categories: fusion welding processes and solid-state welding processes.

On every lean journey, what may seem easy to understand isn't always easy to implement. What Lean Means shows you what lean means today by exploring its visible evidence and promise.

This Work Measurement program explains current practices in work measurement, and will show how manufacturers are using it to measure productivity improvements. You'll see a basic time study conducted at Cooper Instrument Corporation and how MacGreggor Golf uses a work measurement system to develop standards and generate routings. You'll also learn how Cramerton Automotive utilizes work sampling techniques on an inspection and packing line, and how Kohler depends on work measurement to establish and correct standards for both direct and indirect labor. You will also hear from Royal Dossett, an expert on work measurement application and technology, and Donovan Young, Associate Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech.

This easy to read publication provides information on the acrylic plastic family's chemical composition, product applications, physical properties, and common trade names. Included is a glossary of terms used on the shop floor and in customer order writing.

The Manufacturing Technology Series WEST event is where the manufacturing industry comes together. Connect face-to-face, build meaningful relationships, and enjoy great refreshments while networking. Whether you're meeting your next key contact or reconnecting with colleagues, your badge is your all-access pass—everyone is welcome!

WEST Session: This session will explore the transformative potential of industrial CT technology to revolutionize quality control in manufacturing and product development. Attendees will learn how CT enables faster, more accurate inspections, improves defect detection, and reduces waste while accelerating innovation and ensuring product reliability. We will examine the challenges of adopting these systems, including cost, workflow integration, and training, and share best practices for successful implementation across industries. In addition, we will highlight the role of automated inspection systems, their integration with complementary technologies, and what the future of digital quality control holds for organizations seeking a sustainable competitive edge in manufacturing.

WEST Session: Things are changing quickly. Five years ago, we were telling welders to learn the code, now we're telling coders to learn to weld. How can manufacturers, who live and die by process reliability and scalability take advantage of tools that can't seem to do simple addition reliably. As the saying goes, 'there's no such thing as a bad tool, only the wrong tool for the job'. We're about to witness a step change in the adoption of true continuous improvement methodologies, and most people don't even see it coming.
