In Taking Care of Business, Vincent W. Howell, FSME, CMfgE, provides information and strategies to improve manufacturing processes and support business success.
The glass and ceramic industries are constantly changing, and new technology knowledge can provide opportunities for product and service innovation. Continuing education for engineering and other manufacturing associates is required for manufacturers to stay current with the latest developments, skills, and new technologies required for the market and industry.
For the U.S. glass and ceramic industry, domestic manufacturing policy and innovation will be crucial to facing challenges involved with global competition.
The manufacturing industry has always been an important foundation of the U.S. economy. From glass and ceramics that are critical to automotive, food, medical, construction, and electronics manufacturing to other discrete and process industries, manufacturing is vital. In fact, current research indicates that no other sector creates more economic value or supports more additional jobs than manufacturing.
How do companies that apply formal project management use the process to develop leadership skills that benefit project managers and future company leaders?
Projects have long been a part of the glass and ceramic industry. Projects—whether they are capital or process improvement—and the associated project management process help manufacturing operations gain a competitive edge.
Last November, I had the chance to attend FabTech, a manufacturing conference and exhibition. One of North America’s largest manufacturing events, FabTech provides a convenient “one-stop shop” venue where you can meet with world-class suppliers; see the latest industry products and developments; and find the tools to improve productivity, increase profits, and discover new solutions for manufacturing needs (in this case, for metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing needs).
