•White Paper: Lean Manufacturing In Powder Processing – A Paradigm Shift
By Quadro Engineering
The concept of Lean Manufacturing has been growing in popularity in the manufacturing world for the past several years.
Driven by several factors, including a slowing U.S. economy, rising costs of input materials, an increase in rationalization of production facilities, and the influx of inexpensive products from overseas, manufacturers are embracing the principles of Lean Thinking to solidify their competitiveness and improve market share.
Powder Processors have been especially susceptible to these external forces (due mainly to) rising material costs coupled with cutbacks in internal resources. To counter, manufacturers are turning to their equipment suppliers to help them develop and implement processes that take advantage of the benefits that can be derived from implementing the principles of Lean Manufacturing.
In this paper, we will review the concepts of Lean Manufacturing and some solutions that are readily available to help manufacturers achieve the benefits of this concept.
