Right-Sized Equipment DVD Within lean manufacturing, companies seeking to improve flow, quality, and turnaround time while minimizing their capital spending use right-sized equipment. Instead of large product batches that must be stored, right-sized equipment produces just the amount of product needed, and errors in the process can be quickly exposed and eliminated. This Right-Sized Equipment program gives the viewer an exclusive look into one of the Boeing Company's Commercial Airplane Plant and Integrated Aero Structures business unit to explain how right-sized equipment fits with their lean journey.
Roll Forming DVD Roll forming is a high-volume production process used to produce an unlimited variety of formable cross-sections. Part of the Fundamental Manufacturing Processes Video Series, this program provides detailed information on roll forming dimensional tolerances, material straightness, camber, curve, bow and twist, roll form tooling, and roll forming machines.
RFID: Tool Tracking Solutions DVD This program takes you into the infrastructure and technology behind RFID as well as the real-world practical applications, challenges and advantages of using RFID to support quality and productivity.
Sheet Metal Coil Processing DVD Sheet Metal Coil Processing introduces the primary methods of processing sheet metal coils and featurs segments on coil slitting, coil blanking, and coil processing lines.
Sheet Metal Stamping Presses DVD Stamping presses transform sheet metal into functional products by applying the force of a moving ram to tooling located within the press. Stamping’s primary advantage is the ability to transform two-dimensional sheet metal stock into three-dimensional finished components at a relatively high rate of speed with minimum operator intervention.
Sheet Metal Stamping Dies and Processes DVD Stamping dies are the tools that shape and cut sheet metal parts. They are commonly developed using computer-aided design (CAD) software and analytical programs to create and prove-out highly accurate, unambiguous designs.
Setup Reduction DVD This program follows a three-day journey where you'll see how to champion a setup reduction event, measure your current methods, identify time elements behind setup, and learn what it takes to change and improve new methods.
Sheet Metal Shearing and Bending DVD This program examines two of the oldest manufacturing processes: shearing and bending. Shearing is the cutting of sheet metal by means of two opposing blades. It is used to cut large sheets of material into smaller more manageable sections. Bending is the creation of three-dimensional shapes out of two-dimensional material, and is a fast, economical way to produce an endless variety of parts from sheet metal and plate.
Single Piece Flow DVD See how every operation at ConMed Linvatec, a world-class manufacturer of surgical equipment, is designed for single piece flow. Faced with large inventories and unpredictable customer demand, the company was struggling to keep popular items in stock. By implementing lean principles, it was able to transform from batch to single piece flow, eliminating most inventory and the need to store it.
