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 SOUTHWEST made its debut in Dallas, marking an important first step toward supporting one of the fastest-growing manufacturing regions in the country.

SOUTHWEST 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.

SOUTHWEST Session: Everyone talks about AI — few talk about the “boring” foundation that makes it work. In manufacturing, most AI dreams collapse under the weight of messy spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and inconsistent data. This session cuts through the hype to reveal why data discipline—not algorithms—is the real competitive edge. We’ll explore how small and mid-sized manufacturers can turn their existing data into a living foundation for AI, move beyond endless pilots, and start making decisions that learn and adapt on their own. If you’ve ever wondered why your AI projects stall — or how even to get started with them — this talk is for you.
