Overall Equipment Effectiveness is arguably the #1 key performance indicator on manufacturing floors. 

In manufacturing, it’s tempting to assume that more machines mean more parts and higher throughput.

What should I be using to inspect an internal diameter (ID)? Should I use a Fixed Limit gage or some Variable gage? Is a Variable gage or a Fixed Limit gage more accurate? To answer these questions, we must begin with a few more clarifying questions.

In 2025, the U.S. manufacturing sector faces mounting challenges from rising tariffs and investment hesitancy. Explore how leaders are shifting to proactive strategies and embracing innovation to navigate uncertainty and drive future success.

EoL Noise and Vibration (NVH) testing is essential in automotive manufacturing, especially for electric vehicles. Advanced sensors enhance product quality by detecting anomalies, reducing warranty claims, and improving customer experience across various industries.

Global manufacturers are under pressure to respond quickly, but traditional forecasting tools often fall short when conditions are complex and change rapidly. Simulation offers a powerful alternative.

A defect on the production floor may seem minor, but its true cost is often hidden across operations. Manufacturers should quantify the financial impact of quality failures by assigning costs to events.

AI-powered predictive maintenance helps anticipate machine failures, allowing for proactive action that saves time and costs. According to a Deloitte study, 86% of manufacturing executives believe that AI and intelligent technologies will enhance competitiveness in the next five years.

Design of Experiments (DOE) helps improve products and processes more efficiently, providing a comprehensive understanding of influences on the end result.

Real-world problems often have multiple causes, so it's beneficial to extend your root cause analysis by considering the problem from various perspectives.
