SUMMARY:Root Cause Analysis Tips for Manufacturing - When Virtual Is the Only Option
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintA world-class company needs manufacturing plants to be more than just operational—they need to be productive\, efficient and flexible to respond to changing business conditions. The recent COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated this clearly\, particularly with the critical troubleshooting and maintenance operations required to keep plants running. \nWhen machinery breaks down today\, troubleshooters often cannot physically be in front of what needs fixing due to health or remote-work restrictions. Human senses are essential to gather data to diagnose a problem. When troubleshooters are constrained by the quality of a camera lens and the ability to hear\, feel and smell must be relayed through non-expert on-site personnel\, the ability to gather accurate data for quick resolution can be greatly compromised. \nYou need a different set of skills and processes to effectively troubleshoot when virtual is the only option. Access to a resolution will depend on the level of quality in two areas: \n\nA definitive and clear problem-solving process\, focused on the data that can be accessed\nEffective tactics to gain access\, confirm data and test the diagnosis\n\nChad Player and Sam Bernstine of Kepner-Tregoe a Root Cause Consulting Firm have extensive experience navigating the roadblocks of our pandemic reality through to many successful resolutions. Through their experience you will learn: \n\nWhat problem-solving skills are at the top of the list when virtual is the only option\nHow to develop a plan to focus time/effort/cost on the data that matters\nKey essentials on developing effective tactics to access the data\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. In addition\, I understand that my personal information will be shared with any sponsor(s) of the resource\, so they can contact me directly about their products or services. Please refer to the privacy policies of such sponsor(s) for more details on how your information will be used by them.\nSpeakers \nChad Player\, Consultant\, Kepner-Tregoe\nChad’s never-ending interest for fixing things combined with his love of structure make him a perfect partner when organizations want to shift performance into high gear. His specialty lies in contractor management\, root cause analysis investigations and has experience in the areas including reliability\, waste reduction\, equipment failures\, distribution of raw materials and safety incidents. With broad industry experience including health\, mining\, paper\, automotive\, manufacturing and IT – call centers Chad has successfully led many client teams through projects with stakes in the multimillion-dollar range. Chad is a certified Six Sigma Black Belt\, an expert in Lean and Change Management principals and a champion of improvements that create enormous value clients and are sustainable over time. Chad views his success through what is produced by his client teams in the areas of operational improvement\, increased efficiency and major cost savings. \nSam Bernstine\, Principal\, Kepner-Tregoe\nFor over 35 years\, Sam has brought his belief in teamwork\, his persistent pursuit of value\, and his strong leadership skills to serving KT clients in the automotive\, manufacturing\, and power generation/energy industries. He has helped companies such as Honda\, Nissan\, Stellantis (formally FCA)\, Robert Bosch\, Johnson Controls\, Siemens\, Duke Energy\, Exelon Corporation and Ontario Power Generation to examine and improve how decisions are made\, problems are solved\, projects are managed\, and communication is carried out.

SUMMARY:Practical Industry 4.0: Leveraging Market-ready Digital Technologies for Factory Operations
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe American manufacturing sector is undergoing a digital transformation. However\, as manufacturers explore the idea of digitizing their own factories\, they must sift through vast amounts of information and determine what is just “noise” versus what is practical. Join DVIRC and MxD for a training that will address practical application of Industry 4.0 in a factory setting\, discuss the do’s and don’ts of digital manufacturing\, and outline some common misconceptions related to factory digitization. \nBenefits of attending: \n\nHear from MxD\, the nation’s digital manufacturing institute\, about what Industry 4.0 encompasses and how manufacturers can think about application in a factory\nLearn about a practical approach to digital transformation and understand what manufacturers can do today with commercially available digital technologies\nView portions of MxD’s state-of-the-art Future Factory in a virtual demonstration\, including a line that is equipped with a dozen sensors monitoring everything from ambient temperature to machine vibrations\n\n\nWho should attend: \nThis training is most applicable to small and mid-sized manufacturers who are interested in learning more about Industry 4.0 application in a factory setting. Job functions include representatives who manage factory operations\, process improvement\, and/or digital implementation. \nRegister \nPresented by MxD \nMxD is where innovative manufacturers go to forge their futures. In partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense\, MxD equips factories with the digital tools and expertise they need to begin building every part better than the last. As a result\, our nearly 300 partners increase their productivity and win more business. \nTony Del Sesto\, Technical Fellow\, MxD \nTony Del Sesto is the Technical Fellow for MxD. In this role\, Tony works closely with MxD’s partners to develop\, test\, and commercialize state-of-the-art digital technologies aimed at increasing the productivity of American manufacturers.
