• Leveraging Kanban For Metal Fabricators - By: Reto Hug
  Kanban was developed by Toyota and means "visual card" in Japanese. Kanban helps businesses employ just-in-time (JIT) production. It is employed as a signal that is emitted through the supply chain to tell employees when a supply is needed. For example, if a card is put at the bottom of a box of supplies with information about the supply on it, the staff member that uses up the last of that carton of supplies takes the card and sends it on to the supply manufacturing area so that more can be sent for. More are only ordered when the previous supply is used up.
• Quality Management Through Process Control In Metal Fabrication - By: Reto Hug
  Perpetuating product quality is essential to any organization. Taking a broader stance, maintaining product quality can be achieved via controlling the quality of the methods that it takes to fabricate that product. An example of process control would be to take measurements of something when it is operating at its best so that the calculations can be compared to measurements in the future, to make sure that top quality functions are still in place. For example, strain on machine frames can be assessed via a strain monitor to assess quality. The machine's frame strain must have been measured when it was operating optimally and producing quality parts so that measurements from that assessment may be used as a control to assess against when the machine starts acting in a manner that is not best. This can help measure the entire production process. Monitoring processes for discrepancies is a revolutionary new method of looking at quality assurance rather than looking for flaws in parts. If a process makes quality parts and is able to be reiterated, this is a model scenario for a manufacturing setting.

  The survival of plants in cold weather is due to acclimation, which involves getting several weeks of exposure to near-freezing temperatures before a frost. Plants purposely put themselves in a state of desiccation. They remove excess water from their leaves-in the case of evergreens like rhododendrons and conifers-or from buds and stems. When they are in this self-induced dry state, protection from wind can be a plus.
• Metal Fabrication and Lead Strategies - By: Reto Hug
  Manufacturing in a lean way is a way of removing waste in different forms, such as materials and time, to save on business costs. In the metal industry, lean manufacturing would focus on the processing being as efficient as possible and as little metal being wasted as possible.
