SUMMARY:How Manufacturers Can Win in a Digital World
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintDoing digital right doesn’t mean you need to become the next Amazon\, Netflix or Google — or even the next Pitney-Bowes\, whose shift to digital has reinvented the company. But it does mean you may need to change your ways to maximize the potential to drive business. You may think there are obstacles. But it’s not money. It’s not lack of time. It’s not lack of resources. It’s you. It’s your mindset about digital strategy. It’s time to fill the gaps — and make those aspirations a reality. Let go of your fears and let’s get started. \nPwC’s recent Digital IQ report reflects insights from over 2000 respondents in over 60 countries.

You need more knowledge and new ways of managing to succeed. \nWORKFORCE\nYou’ve got a skills gap. Not the one you think.  There’s a disconnect between the skills and technologies that companies say matter most and what they’re investing in. More than half don’t even have a structure for delivering training. \nYou may be on the journey to digitization\, but where exactly are you going?  Respondents to the survey selected one of four goals they say their companies aspire to accomplish with digital. We’ll explore these goals to help you frame them to your own company’s strategy. \n\nRefiners plan to redefine their business model and change how they operate\nEfficiency seekers focus on increasing speed and efficiency\nModernizers looks to update and improve on what they already do\nIndustry Leaders aim to break new ground in another industry – or even their own\n\nSo how do you get there? The steps are clear and we’ll wrap up the seminar by taking you through them. \n\nUpskill your workforce. Change how people think and contribute to drive growth and innovation\, within.\nBuild a best-in-class marketing and sales system. Ensure you have an easy understanding of the customer\, resulting in the best experience.\nProvide customers with the best experience post-sale\nCreate efficiencies\, save money and make smart decisions through data & analytics\, and AI.\nAdd new revenue streams.

SUMMARY:Value Acceleration and Transition Planning
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintA business owner’s relationship with their business has a life cycle. Whether they started the business or bought it\, they are on a path leading them and their business to an eventual exit.

SUMMARY:Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM)
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintEVENT IS FULL – NO LONGER TAKING REGISTRATIONS\nA Competitive Strategy for Low-Volume and Custom-Engineered Products\nQuick Response Manufacturing (QRM) is a companywide strategy for lead time reduction throughout the enterprise. Using QRM\, companies have reduced their lead times by 80-90%. As a result\, these companies have not only seen large increases in market share\, but also experienced 15-20% cost reduction and huge quality improvement. Although Lean Manufacturing techniques can be powerful in certain situations\, for companies making low-volume or custom-engineered products\, Lean techniques do not always apply well. \nQRM can be a more effective\, competitive strategy for companies targeting such markets. In addition\, companies find that the lead time and cost reductions r4esulting from QRM enable them to compete effectively against low-cost countries. \nThis workshop will consist of two parts: \n\nAn Overview of QRM Principles & Strategy\nPractical\, Hands-on Manufacturing Critical-path Time (MCT)-Mapping Exercises\n\nOverview of QRM Strategy \n\nThe Power of Time: The non-obvious reasons why lead time is important (much more important than most managers realize)\, how it influences total operating cost and quality and how to take advantage of this realization.\nOrganizational Structure: How to restructure your organization to minimize lead time throughout the enterprise.\nSystem Dynamics: How interactions between machines\, people and products impact your lead times. As a result\, capacity planning policies (e.g. machine and labor utilization) and lot sizing policies need to be rethought for QRM.\nEnterprise-wide Application: QRM is not just a shop floor approach; it is applied throughout the organization. This includes material planning and control\, purchasing and supply chain management\, office operations such as estimating and order processing and new product development. You will also see data on the “bottom line” impact of QRM on product cost\, quality and lead times.\n\nUsing MCT-Mapping to Identify Lead Time Reduction Opportunities \nIn partnership with colleagues from major corporations\, Suri has developed the concept of Manufacturing Critical-path Time (MCT)\, a precise metric\, which highlights improvement opportunities by clearly quantifying system-wide waste. The metric can be used for both your internal operations as well as for your supply chain. \nIn this portion of the workshop\, you will first learn the detailed definition of MCT and understand the business case for using MCT. You will learn how to calculate MCT correctly for various situations by working on numerical examples. You will learn how to use MCT-Mapping to communicate opportunities and convince management. You will also learn the differences between MCT-Mapping and Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and see why MCT-Mapping more clearly identifies opportunities for lead time reduction. \nBoth parts of this workshop will combine theory with practical examples using case studies of many companies that have implemented QRM in both USA and Europe. \n** Bonus ** \n Attendees will receive a copy of Suri’s books:   \nIt’s About Time: The Competitive Advantage of Quick Response Manufacturing and MCT Quick Reference Guide. \nInstructor: \nRajan Suri is Emeritus Professor of Industrial Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received his Bachelors degree from Cambridge University (England) and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Harvard University. Professor Suri is the Founding Director of the Center for Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, through which around 300 companies have worked with the University on developing and implementing QRM strategies. Click here to learn more about Professor Suri. \n**Currently only accepting registrations for a minimum of three\, maximum of five attendees per company.** This training qualifies for WEDnetPA funding as Essential Skills Training. \nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:POLCA: The Production Control System for High-Mix\, Low-Volume and Custom Products
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintCLASS IS FULL – REGISTRATION IS CLOSED \nThis half-day workshop will explain POLCA (Paired-cell Overlapping Loops of Cards with Authorization)\, an alternative to Kanban for material control on the shop floor. POLCA is a card-based visual control system that manages the flow of jobs through the shop floor: at each operation\, it controls which job should be worked on next to meet delivery targets. POLCA ensures that upstream operations use their capacity effectively by working on jobs that are needed downstream\, while at the same time preventing excessive work-in-process (WIP) build-ups when bottlenecks appear unexpectedly. \nPOLCA is particularly suited to companies manufacturing high-mix\, low-volume and customized products\, for which Kanban systems do not work well. Such companies struggle with long lead times\, late deliveries and daily expediting to meet delivery dates. POLCA has delivered impressive results in such environments. \nThe crowning aspect of POLCA is that it is simple. It does not require any complex software implementation: it can be used without an ERP system or it can seamlessly complement an existing ERP system. \nThe workshop will begin with a tutorial on POLCA\, followed by a computer simulation demonstration of POLCA. The class will include several case studies of industry applications\, as well as an overview of Suri’s new book on POLCA (see below). \nThe workshop includes: \n\nThe Need for a New Material Control Strategy: Why MRP systems can result in an increasing spiral of long lead times and late deliveries and why concepts such as takt time and Kanban do not work well in low-volume or custom environments.\nDetailed Explanation of POLCA: POLCA stands for Paired-cell Overlapping Loops of Cards with Authorization. This hybrid push/pull system combines the best features of card-based pull (Kanban) systems and push (MRP) systems while overcoming their drawbacks for low-volume and custom production.\nComputer Simulation of POLCA: A computer simulation will be used to demonstrate how POLCA works for a company making low-volume and custom-engineered products.\nOverview of new book on POLCA: Attendees will get a “walk-through” of Suri’s new book to provide them with an overview of the contents and tips on how to best use the book.\nIndustry Case Studies of POLCA Application: Several industry case studies will be presented to show the effectiveness of POLCA for companies in many different industries\, including applications in USA\, Canada and Europe.\n\nIn summary\, through the theory and examples in this workshop\, attendees will see the impact of POLCA on product lead times and on-time delivery and learn how POLCA can provide companies with a powerful competitive advantage. \n** Bonus ** \n Attendees will receive a copy of Suri’s newly published book:  \nThe Practitioner’s Guide to POLCA: The Production Control System for High-Mix\, Low-Volume and Custom Products By Rajan Suri\, Productivity Press\, 2018. \nInstructor: \nRajan Suri is Emeritus Professor of Industrial Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

SUMMARY:A New Approach to Optimize the Performance of Linepipe Steels Using Novel High Temp Processing
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintPlease join us for “A new approach to optimize the performance of linepipe steels using novel high temperature processing” by the team led by Dr. C. Isaac Garcia\, Professor\, Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science\, University of Pittsburgh with U.S. Steel.  This project is supported by a 2018 DCED Manufacturing PA Innovation Program Award.  \nThe continuous demand by the oil and gas industries to use steels with superior and consistent mechanical properties in a wide range of wall-thicknesses and diameters provides both exceptional opportunities and challenges to steel companies located in Pennsylvania. The opportunities are originated from the prospect to form a unique working partnership between a world class local steel company such as United States Steel Corporation and the University of Pittsburgh in the development of high strength low alloyed (HSLA) steels for linepipe applications.  Success in this project depends on fundamental knowledge of the intrinsic relationship between the alloy design\, thermomechanical processing (TMP)\, and the desired microstructure to attain the required mechanical properties of the HSLA steel system proposed in this project.  The success of the proposed work will be based on an approach called “Intense Recrystallization Control Rolling” (IRCR) to the high temperature processing of steels for linepipe applications.  The new approach will enhance the performance\, reduce microstructural variability\, save energy due to less rejections and will develop a more robust processing-product route. \nRegister \nPrint PDFPrint
