Need to go beyond Lean and Continuous Improvements?
Do you need step change in cost, quality and productivity?
Earlier this year, Dr. Subramanian led a workshop on the System Approach for associates of the Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA). Students participated in hands-on, laboratory style experiments, where they collected and analyzed data during grinding processes.
Key learnings from the workshop included:
- Looking at the manufacturing process “as a whole” as a system
- Achieving large scale improvements through the application of Science, Engineering and Management principles together (and not as isolated pockets)
- Learning about the “Microscopic interactions” (i.e) what really happens when the sparks are produced?
