Where do we make the changes in process, the tweaking, that maximize returns on investments (ROI)? More often than not the edges that reach both output and quality goals are found in the efficiencies we make in the manufacturing technique. Today, in many job shops, make-to-order, or mixed mode manufacturers, thos... products, articles, news
- Inventory Turnaround in Manufacturing- Making ERP Integration Work
by Dusty Alexander. Accurate forecasting for raw materials and parts acquisition by inventory managers is an essential science in manufacturing today. With manufacturers expected to move at the speed of the Internet, processing orders, purchasing supplies, producing product, and shipping finished goods out the door must be accomplished with ever-decreasing lead times and ever-increasing expectations of quality. It... products, articles, news

by Dusty Alexander. Since the introduction of the lean system of continuous improvement manufacturing (CI), the desire has always been for inventory management that minimizes stock on hand, if not fully eliminating it. True to lean principals, by eliminating waste at every turn in the manufacturing process quality is improved while production time and costs are reduced. As one of the "seven wastes" in lean philosoph... products, articles, news
