Mapping Your Value Stream explains how value-stream mapping can be used to find waste in your production system.

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.

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.

Micromachining comprises a growing collection of manufacturing technologies that are being used to create micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and new microfluidic and micro-optic devices. Part of the award-winning Manufacturing Insights video series, this program presents case studies of companies and research institutions using various micromachining methods.

This program provides a broad understanding of the milling process, including segments on milling machine basics, CNC machining centers, tool changers and cutting tools, workholding and workchanging, machining center accessories and programming, and operating parameters.

This program begins with an introduction to the core concepts regarding measurement. These concepts include precision, resolution, accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility. Standards are addressed featuring sections on gage blocks and surface plates.

Increased competition and the need to control costs have demanded that die designs generate dependable tooling that produces good parts starting almost with the first hit. Metal forming simulation technology minimizes these risks of errors in die design that cause delays in production. This Metal Forming Simulation program gives an exclusive look into the innovative applications of simulation that have led to better, more reliable metal forming tooling.

This program begins with an introduction to the basic elements of all paint formulations including pigments, additives, solvents, and resins. Viscosity and volatile organic compounds (VOC) are also explained. The two types of resin polymer structures, enamels and lacquers, are explained with an emphasis on the crosslinking aspect of enamels.
