SUMMARY:Webinar: Lock Out Tag Out Versus Machine Guarding
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintOne of the challenges that continues to be controversial and has sparked numerous debates within organizations is proper application of LOTO. Varying interpretations and understanding of the standards places companies in a difficult and many times a costly position. \nOur goal of this webinar is not intended to teach LOTO or how to write and implement LOTO procedures\, but rather look at when to use LOTO versus when to use Machine Guarding for each task. Allow Schmersal to provide some insight as to the differences between the two methods and why to use LOTO on some tasks and machine guarding on other tasks. One does not replace the other\, they work in conjunction to maintain effective machine safeguarding. \nIn this webinar\, you will learn how to: \n\nKnow that LOTO and machine guarding work in conjunction with one another and is not a replacement for each other.\nDevelop a task based analysis to determine tasks fall under LOTO or Machine Guarding.\nDetermine and justify the definition of normal\, routine\, repetitive tasks or minor servicing.\n\nSpeaker \nMike DeRosier\, Functional Safety Engineer\, Machinery\, Schmersal \nMike DeRosier is a TUV certified Functional Safety Engineer for Machinery. His 20+ years of experience include controls engineering to design\, build and integrate full machine control systems. His safety experience lead him to help corporations to develop Corporate Safety Standards\, perform machine safeguarding risk assessments\, machine safety training and design\, as well as implementation of safety systems for all aspects of machinery (electrical\, electronic\, pneumatic\, hydraulic\, mechanical). \n \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Informa’s Terms of Service and to Informa’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Informa\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Informa’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Mitigating Safety Risk Throughout Your Supply Chain
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintEvery company’s supply chain is critical to maintain production and ultimately the success of the company. Companies that fail to work with their vendors\, suppliers and contractors (supply chain) to identify\, detect\, monitor and mitigate their safety and health issues\, risk the real potential of interruption of the supply chain’s ability to provide the contracted services or goods. The result is the loss of business and profitability for the company as a result of the company’s inability to meet the demands and requirements of their clients because of the supply chain default. \nThis program will examine how companies can work with their supply chain to identify\, detect\, monitor and mitigate safety and health risks which could cause disruption of services and products to the company. The program will also discuss how to focus on supplier risk management in order to collect\, analyze and manage the safety and health supply chain. Also\, there will be an examination of the supplier performance information to identify red flags within each vendor\, supplier and contractor. Finally\, the program will discuss how focusing on these issues will lower our supply chain risk while improving productivity and profitability of the company. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstanding how your company’s supply chain impacts its ability to meet your client’s needs;\nHow to gather the data and information from your supply chain in order to identify potential safety and health risks;\nHow to help your supply chain members understand how failure to identify and mitigate safety and health risk will impact the continued success of their companies and;\nHow to assist your supply chain member in developing the policies and procedures to address identified risks and follow-up to ensure the identified risks have been addressed.\n\n\nSpeaker \n\nEdwin G.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Why Current Production Scheduling Tools Aren't Helping You Deliver On-Time and How to Fix It
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintTremendous strides have been made over the last 50 years in Production Scheduling. Once an extremely manual and time-consuming process\, most of today’s ERP software packages have automated scheduling embedded and/or Advanced Planning and Scheduling tools available to bolt on to them. \nUnfortunately\, however\, in spite of the tremendous amount of functionality\, companies continue to struggle to deliver orders to their customers on-time. And in many cases\, after making valiant\, but unsuccessful efforts to “go-live” with production scheduling software\, companies revert to scheduling the shop floor using whiteboards and spreadsheets – an extremely manual and time-consuming process. \nWhy is this? We will explore the underlying causes of the failure of modern production scheduling tools to make significant sustainable improvement to on-time delivery or the reduction of lead-times in Manufacturing companies today. \nAnd then we will propose a simplified but effective alternative approach that combines several concepts from Manufacturing performance improvement philosophies. \nYou will learn: \n\nHow to be confident you’re always working on the right job at the right time.\nWhat the key factor is that prevents you from trusting Scheduling software.\nHow to comfortably accept and manage “Rush” jobs.\nWhy there is a disconnect between the “Dispatch List” produced by Scheduling programs\, and the true priorities on the Shop Floor.\nHow to easily deal with customer sales order date pull-ins (and push-outs) without having to run MRP or a scheduling program.\nHow to quickly and comfortably lower WIP\, speed flow\, reduce lead-times and raise your On-time Delivery Performance into the 90’s.\n\nSpeaker \nMark Lilly\, Partner\, Owner & Director – LillyWorks Protected Flow Manufacturing \nMark’s passion is revealing the gap between the status quo within a company\, and the potential performance that could be achieved with a plan and the right software tool. He’s been doing it for over 25 years for small to medium manufacturing companies\, primarily by showing how software can “dramatically” improve their business performance. He especially likes to focus on the competitive capabilities such as delivery performance\, by helping companies with the seemingly continuous struggle with shop floor scheduling. \nMark comes from a strong family background of helping Manufacturers with production scheduling.  His father created several manufacturing software applications designed to help companies with shop floor scheduling\, such as Profitkey\, VISUAL ERP and the latest\, LillyWorks Protected Flow Manufacturing.  Both his siblings are Co-Presidents at LillyWorks. \nBut even the best software can’t do a thing without a change management plan that focuses on delivering the desired results. It’s all about motivating people to modify their behavior to support the actions necessary to effect the desired change. After acquiring a foundation of knowledge in computer science and psychology at Cornell 30 years ago\, he’s continued to learn both the technology and people side of the equation in making significant and lasting changes in the business performance of a company. \n \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Informa’s Terms of Service and to Informa’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Informa\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Informa’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Regulatory Landscape Changes Demand Digitalization in Medtech
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintBig changes in the regulatory landscape are challenging Medtech companies: \n\nOverhauled EU regulations:  MDR & IVDR\nNew 2018-2020 Strategic Priorities from the FDA in the US\n\nImplementing and maintaining regulatory compliant processes and systems is a constant for Medtech firms; however\, there’s a tremendous variation in chosen processes\, procedures\, tools and technology.   Looking back\, there has been acceptance of this variation\, across different size companies with very different medical products\, business priorities and maturity levels.  Looking forward\, with the changing regulatory landscape in view\, there’s a clear increase in demand and payback for use of digitalization (i.e.\, software tools and technology) to respond to new regulatory requirements and initiatives. \nIn this webinar\, Siemens PLM Software will highlight key regulatory changes and describe specific ways Medtech firms can respond using digitalization to both remain compliant and help balance business goals for safe\, effective devices and profitability. \nSpeaker \nJames B. Thompson\, Ph.D.\, Director\, Industries\, Medical Device & Pharmaceutical\, Siemens PLM Software \nJim Thompson has worked in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) industry for 30 years\, in various leadership and management positions.   Currently\, at Siemens PLM Software\, Jim is responsible for the global strategy for the Medical Device & Pharmaceutical industries. \nPrior to Siemens\, Jim worked for IBM in PLM software product development & consulting\, and for GE as a mechanical engineer.    Jim received his doctorate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, where his research focused on AI-based engineering decision making. \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Informa’s Terms of Service and to Informa’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Informa\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Informa’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Williamsport Inventor's Club - Using IDEATION to Create & Build Upon New Product Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe Williamsport Inventor’s Club will be hosting Paul Moulton\, Owner/President of Indoor Sky at its August meeting.  During this session Paul will be sharing “Using Ideation to Create and Build Upon New Product Ideas”. \nWhen it comes to new product ideas\, “blue sky thinking” (starting from nothing) is almost impossible! Most new products are a result of an external influence; perhaps a trend\, an invention of a new material or very often the result of a problem or obstacle. Having identified the opportunity for a breakthrough new product\, one must go beyond one’s own intellect and solicit input from lots of other loonies! This presentation will illustrate one way to do that. \nPaul is the founder of Indoor Sky and previously worked with C/S where he was responsible for technical sales support for the UK architectural community before managing the small but fast growing UK operation. Paul relocated to the US in 1987 and started the Technical Products Group for “non standard” business development\, particularly in seismic joint technology ultimately leading to his role as Sr VP of Marketing and R&D. Specialties included strategic market development\, new product development\, research & development and product based strategic planning. \n\nThe Williamsport Inventor’s Club is designed to educate\, foster collaboration and networking and give attendees the tools\, resources and knowledge they need to move their inventions forward. \nThe Innovative Manufacturers’ Center (IMC) is host to the Williamsport/Lycoming Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ)\, which has provided program support to the Williamsport Inventor’s Club since its founding in 2007.  Meetings take place on the 4th Wednesday of most months and are open to the public. \nAttendance is free and open to the public; however\, your RSVP is required. \nNew attendees are asked to arrive by 5:15 p.m. to sign a confidentiality agreement prior to the start of the meeting to protect the inventors and information exchanged. \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, the registrant understands that the information shared at the meeting is the opinion of the speaker or individual attendee and is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice.\nPrint PDFPrint
