How can machine shops help their teams make the move to lean manufacturing? Here’s what works and why gaining advocates is so critical to success.
Lean manufacturing is coming—in part because it can help meet the demand to produce more with less and because it can help mitigate the skills gap. But moving to a lean manufacturing approach requires buy-in from machinists.
It doesn’t have to happen all at once, you can make the move in incremental steps. We talk to two metalworking experts at IMTS 2018 about how to ensure your efforts are successful.
Participants:
Robert Goodwin, Senior Metalworking Specialist, MSC
Dan Skulan, General Manager – Industrial Metrology, Renishaw
