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.
Discover new technologies presented within the context of classic diemaking fundamentals. Progressive Dies is your collective source for improving current designs or learning how to take advantage of progressive die efficiency and cost reduction. Among the topics covered are: die material selection and properties, developing progression stages, grinding, EDM and wire-cut EDM operations, die and strip layout manufacture, and die protection systems and electronic sensors.
Progressive dies perform fundamental cutting and forming operations simultaneously at various stations within a die during each press stroke. This program, part of the Fundamentals of Tool Design Video Series, explores the essential design variables used in part/strip development that contribute to part quality, progressive die tool maintenance, tool life, and tool cost.
