SUMMARY:Manufacturing Operations Management Meets the Moment
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintResiliency and Digital Transformation have taken on new urgency for manufacturing in 2020 as we all strive to meet the moment. We have all faced considerable challenges\, from shutdowns or disruptions in the supply chain to the safety and availability of our workforce. \nThroughout the moment\, manufacturers have had to make frequent pivots to meet very uneven production requirements while still adhering to delivery standards. In some cases\, we’ve seen companies make even more dramatic pivots to introduce entirely new products for internal PPE consumption or to mitigate critical national medical device shortages. \nAlong with the challenges\, the pressure to deliver on time\, on price and with quality still remain\, despite organizations being stretched thin\, being asked to be more flexible and more accommodating to the realities we are all facing. \nThe past few months have introduced a slew of new\, very unique challenges that manufacturers are only now beginning to fully appreciate. In some ways\, the economic uncertainty for manufacturers is reminiscent of 2008. Events demonstrate the need for more flexible and resilient manufacturing systems\, yet it seems imprudent to consider major strategic projects that affect the operational core of a manufacturer. \nJoin this IndustryWeek-hosted webinar with Dassault Systèmes as they share observations based on work they’ve done and are doing with many customers as they\, too\, look to overcome and succeed in today’s climate. They’ll also share stories of top manufacturers who faced these types of decision 10 to 12 years ago and where they are today. \nIn the session they’ll explore the following topics: \n\nCritical manufacturing insights based on our experiences working across many industries\, with many clients across the world.\nBest-in-class observations around your MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management)\, both in the moment and intended to help you align to your “next.”\nHow to implement a tightly defined MOM solution across a very well defined timeline that allows your organization to benefit from a proven\, best-in- class solution that leverages an approach we’ve developed from years of implementations with leading companies across the globe.\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Transform 2020 - Resilience in the Age of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintOrganizational resilience is a cornerstone of competitiveness. This realization is increasingly important in a global economy characterized by uncertainty\, complexity\, connectivity and speed. To prosper today\, nations\, businesses and organizations must have the capability to survive\, adapt\, evolve and grow in the face of change. \nFeatured speakers: \n\nThe Honorable Deborah Wince Smith\, President & CEO\, Council on Competitiveness\nMr. Chad Holliday\, Chairman\, Royal Dutch Shell; National Commissioner and Chairman Emeritus\, Council on Competitiveness\nMs. Janet Foutty\, Chair of the Board\, Deloitte; National Commissioner and Executive Committee Member\, Council on Competitiveness\nDr. Michael Crow\, President\, Arizona State University; Co-Chair\, National Commission\, and University Vice-chair\, Council on Competitiveness\nDr. Thomas Zacharia\, Director\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory; National Commissioner\, Council on Competitiveness\n\nRepresenting business\, academia and the national labs\, the featured speakers will offer both historical perspectives on the critical role resilience plays in U.S. competitiveness\, as well as real-time commentary on COVID-19 impacts and implications for short- and long-term economic growth\, and institutional viability. From moving tens of thousands of students online to redeploying the American workforce to the awareness that impacts and actions are happening at an ever-increasing pace\, our speakers will highlight the centrality of resilience to U.S. competitiveness. \nKey takeaways: \n\nThe objective of resilience is not just to protect what you have\, but also to be able to mitigate and recover quickly from disruption.\nThere are an infinite number of disruption scenarios but only a finite number of outcomes. Do not manage specific scenarios\, rather create the agility and flexibility to cope with turbulent situations.\nInvest in resilience strategies to manage a spectrum of risks\, not just high-impact disasters.\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Improve Performance via Cleaner Metal
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintMetal filtration within the foundry industry has long been a staple method for ensuring the integrity of a casting. In this webinar we will examine the traditional methods of metal filtration by addressing core technologies and new innovations\, such as EXACTPORE 3D filters. \nA special focus on 3D filter technology: Metal purity is one of the most important requirements in the foundry industry. Best practice in the field of molten metal filtration is the use of sintered ceramic foam filters. But the structure of the filter foams in particular means that this form of filtration also has its limits. During the ceramic coating and sintering process\, tiny particles may form inside the filter structure\, which are only slightly sintered with the base material. Flow through the filter can cause these particles to detach\, which impairs the purity of the melt and can lead to inclusions in the casting.  Learn how these issues can be solved in this webinar through 3D technology. \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.
