Business & Entrepreneuriat

Fréquence : 1 épisode/75j. Total Éps: 24

How do you create calm in manufacturing? Until now, there hasn’t been anything focused on putting the pieces of the puzzle together – people, culture, lean, continuous improvement, theory of constraints, manufacturing, and tech. How do all of these pieces come together to create the optimal manufacturer? This podcast focuses on the intersection of these topics so commonly talked about in manufacturing, but rarely explaining how to get it done.

Fundamentals for Productivity Monitoring w/ Dick Willis

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

mardi 30 mars 2021 • Durée 56:45

When and how should you move to automatic data collection? Dick Willis, Industrial Digitization Leader at Trane Technologies, a skilled veteran in the digitized factory industry, tells us how to structure data collection and reporting, and do it successfully. A solid structure of collecting and reporting data is essential in manufacturing, but data collection is hard. And, it's hard to do it well.

"Show me that you were able to get the right data at the right time in enough time to fix it."

There are quite a few hurdles to getting that structure just right. Two of those hurdles are a reliance on paper and pen and Excel reporting methods and meaningless measurements. Controversial, right? But, Dick has a point. These are barriers to efficient problem solving and valuable insight. So, in this episode of Zen and the Art of Manufacturing, learn when the best time to move to automatic data collection is and what that looks like for your plant.

Getting Started in Industry 4.0 w/ John Broadbent

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mardi 9 mars 2021 • Durée 23:47

"By doing these things, you will improve across the board." In the second part of John Broadbent's interview with SensrTrx's Founder and CEO, Bryan Sapot, the two discuss getting started with Industry 4.0 and why it doesn't need to be hard or expensive.

According to John, you may need to enact Industry 3.0 first, and that's ok, but at least you're starting somewhere. The concept of a connected, smart manufacturer isn't going anywhere. It's a proven idea. But, if you get on the horse, you're entering the race and working towards that idea.

"We've got a decade of information and experience to show this stuff does work."

John mentions a book during this episode which can be found at the link below:

Passionate Marriage by David Schnarch

Maintenance Team Communication Essentials w/ Stuart Fergusson

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mardi 23 février 2021 • Durée 26:59

Part 2 of Stuart's podcast episode dives into the maintenance metrics that you need to care about, getting operators onboard with maintenance goals, daily meetings involving the entire plant, and working together as a team.

"We're all in this together, and how are we going to get back up and running?," Stuart asks. Essentially, the main idea behind the 2nd half of a "Healthy Maintenance Culture" is communication. If a machine goes down, it's affecting both production and maintenance, and as such, what can be done to get that machine back up and running?

Dive into the details of a healthy culture in the plant, going beyond just maintenance in this episode.
