SUMMARY:How to Achieve End-to-End Visibility in Logistics
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintTo successfully control costs\, manage risk\, and scale operations\, logistics leaders must have visibility into every element of their operations. But\, with different teams using various systems\, applications\, and documents to manage workflows\, achieving this end-to-end transparency can be nearly impossible. \nBut it doesn’t have to be. \nThe “secret sauce” of taking your logistics to the next level is through the implementation of a low-code platform. Low-code is a modern\, agile way to build and continually improve business software applications\, to better match the pace of change in today’s digital business environment. \nJoin us October 15th to uncover How to Achieve End-to-End Visibility in Logistics. Our speakers will walk through how large-scale global organizations are achieving real-time visibility across their supply chains. \nBy leveraging a low-code platform\, logistics leaders across industries have been able to connect disparate sources of data and information – from ERPs to one-off spreadsheets – and achieve real-time visibility across departments\, locations\, and teams. Join us to learn how you can do the same\, including: \n\nWhat is low-code?\nThe basics of implementation\nPractical gains that manufacturers have seen\n\nPlus\, bring your logistics challenges and pose them to our panel so you can start solving your problems today. \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.

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.

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:Digitizing Lean - How to Enhance Team Engagement and Performance Through the Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintUnder the best of circumstances\, shop-floor communications have been siloed endeavors\, often lost in the clutter of sticky notes\, white boards\, spreadsheets and a sea of never-ending emails\, texts and phone calls. Despite this all-too-common reality\, we can all agree that the ability and skills displayed on the floor to meet the expectations of every shift are commendable. We can also recognize there is room for improvement and that this is an area that would benefit from a digital approach tightly tailored to the realities (and differences) that live on the floor. \nIf we focus on some of the unique challenges we are experiencing today with the health crisis\, we all understand that passing paper and pens is not an option in today’s climate.  We’ve got to think differently. \nWhile remote working will likely be a long-term consideration\, a potential upside is that we have the opportunity to leverage more voices. By expanding the talent pool to extend across multiple facilities\, we can unlock new contributors\, new ideas and ultimately better outcomes with both onsite and remote resources pooling together with more organically woven communication and connectivity efforts. \nBut the question remains… how? \nFor many\, the solution is fully pulling lean practices into the Digital Transformation. \nJoin this IndustryWeek-hosted webinar with Dassault Systèmes as we discuss how digitizing lean practices can drive continuous improvements across all manufacturing and supply chain operations even through the realities of today’s manufacturing environment. By seamlessly leveraging rich content and facilitating problem-solving\, these tools enable teams to make rapid decisions and better manage operational efficiency regardless of where or how they work. \nIn this hour-long event\, you will learn: \n\nHow digital lean tools empower your manufacturing teams to find new ways to innovate and collaborate.\nHow the current\, paper based approaches introduce challenges as they are less structured\, error prone and often lead to productivity losses.\nHow a cloud-based\, custom-built digital platform like 3DLean can address the needs of today’s manufacturers.\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.
