S.M.A.R.T. The Oxford dictionary offers some definitions of what the adjective means. We all have grown up grooming our self to be just that.
A Tier-1 Aero-component supplier improved their production speed and capacity by 5-7% while reducing their working capital by 10%. When the production volumes are high and contractually time-bound, those apparently small values eventually become big benefits! Read how they went from traditional methods to intelligent manufacturing…
Change begins with an idea, and a change agent can make or break an idea or turn it towards becoming the next innovation.
Do you stand on the sidelines, or are you the frontrunner of change? Two change agents are driving manufacturing toward exceeding qualitative and quantitative goals — increased output and improved efficiency. Hope your business has embraced the power duo!
