Best Practices in Reducing Production Scrap and Rework

Analysts agree that raw materials and labor are the two largest cost centers for most manufacturers. Production inefficiency can come from just about anywhere - parts from a supplier that don’t fit into your finished assembly, a physical prototype you’ve used and then discarded, or even a delivered product that doesn't meet customer requirements. In each case, the scrap – along with the rework – costs you time, money, and reputation. Today's highly compressed cycles mean manufacturing errors and product-development inefficiencies can become greatly magnified.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Join this informative presentation to learn how successful companies are implementing new product-development initiatives to significantly reduce production scrap and design rework, and their associated costs.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• Change Management: Coordinating engineering and manufacturing, ensuring all parties have access to the most up to date information.
• Production Machining: Ensuring designs checked for manufacturability, that cycles are verified for accuracy and optimized for tool usage.
• Product Validation: Ensuring products are fit for purpose and are optimized for material use.
