Lean Automation DVD Lean Automation explores the motivations and practical implementation of automation in manufacturing and how it might be more effective when used with lean principles.
Lean Product Development DVD The Lean Product Development program is an excellent way to get started on your journey to dramatic reductions in time-to-market and greater value-creation for your customers.
Machine Tools: Specification, Purchase, and Installation Written by an engineer with many years of experience in the industry, this practical guide provides a systematic approach to acquiring and setting up machine tools efficiently and cost-effectively. Machine Tools: Specification, Purchase, and Installation delivers a step-by-step plan for choosing the appropriate machine tool to meet your company's requirements and building the foundation that fits the specialized tool and the environment in which it will operate.
Manufacturing Plant Layout: Fundamentals and Fine Points of Optimum Facility Design A step-by-step guide to planning new factories and plant rearrangements, this book describes proven analytical methods for: calculating space requirements, activity-pair relationships, materials handling analysis, and generating alternative layouts.
Manufacturing Processes and Materials, Fifth Edition This book covers the basic processes, materials, and machinery used in the job shop, toolroom, or small manufacturing facility. At the same time, it describes advanced equipment used in larger production environments. The reader is given a thorough review of metals, composites, plastics, and other engineering materials, including their physical properties, testing, treatment, and suitability for use in manufacturing.
Mechanical and Non-Destructive Testing DVD This program explores both mechanical and non-destructive tests used to gage the quality of materials and parts throughout the manufacturing process. Mechanical tests are used to gather specific performance or property values of materials for part design purposes and quality control. Non-destructive tests examine an object or material in a manner that does not impair it's future usefulness.
Mistake Proofing: Achieving Zero Defects DVD As products increase in complexity and processes have to be configured very quickly to hit small windows of opportunity, the implementation of a mistake proofing program, or poka-yoke, becomes a critical part of any manufacturing system. This Mistake Proofing: Achieving Zero Defects program shows how poka-yoke is being implemented and in what direction it is leading manufacturing. See how several leading companies developed systems to answer key questions in the mistake proofing process.
