This program describes direct, comprehensive floor oriented methodology for improving the performance of any machining process of any size. It is a "how to" program for optimizing tools, tool wear, coolants, filtration, metallurgy, and machine conditions.
This one-day event offers insights into proven methods for reducing the costs of manufacturing. Other topics are metalworking fluid management, using tool wear patterns to measure improvement, lubricant filtration and creating continuous improvement techniques for your machining process.
Key points of the program include:
* quickly assessing machining problems
* identifying and documenting sub-optimized practices
* reducing cycle times
* effectively defining all cost components of the manufacturing process
* recognizing the 9 elements that impact the cost components
* addressing the 5 disciplines that impact manufacturing efficiency
Professionals attending will include:
* machining process engineers
* sales and technical service representatives for tool and metalworking fluid manufacturers
* machinists
* MQL users
* chemical managers
* tool managers
* quality managers
This program complements the knowledge base necessary for certification with the STLE Certified Metalworking Fluid Specialist (CMFS) and the SME Certified Manufacturing Engineer (CMfgE) programs.
Testimonials:
"I thought the wealth of knowledge of information was clearly presented with amazing visual aids and at a graspable pace." Deborah Smith, Vice President, Edrich Products, Inc.
"I enjoyed the seminar very much. The presentation and slides stimulated several ideas on a number of projects that I am working on. It provided a unique and effective prospective to problem solving. A lot of times people get stuck in their ways and push away change. The problem solving methods I have used for most of my career have focused around the part which eventually pointed to the root cause. I plan to combine what I learned from this seminar into my current methods and improve the time it takes to get to the root cause. - Georgette Hansen, Advanced Mfg Engineer, Delphi Corporation.
"A valuable class for anyone involved with machining." - Jean Dasch, Technical Fellow, GM Technical Center.
"This course sheds new light on the subject of tool selection and wear through outstanding videos, pictures and case studies. The class is thorough and easy to understand with numerous examples of types and causes of tool wear presented. This class is a must for anyone in the metalworking industry". Michael Kay, Manager Industrial Lubricants, Idemitsu Lubricants - America.
"This course exceeded my expectations with very good problem solving techniques and visuals." - Gary Gathen, G Corp.
"The structured problem solving methods exceeded my expectations." - Ron Lemke, Certified Lubrication Specialist.
"This program supplied me with a vast amount of information that I can use to improve my value to my customers." - Brian Scott, Site Manager, Henkel Chemical Management.
"I now can identify machining issues and have an ability to solve them." - John Hart, Site Engineer, Haas Chemical Management.
"Outstanding class!" Scott Lindsay, District Manager, Chemtool Incorporated.
"Excellent workshop on optimizing your machining operating characteristics with tons of real, everyday issues and solutions." Brad Mescher, Engineering Coordinator, Honda.
"It definitely helped my understanding of machining processes." Bob Austin, Chemist-Special Projects, Houghton International.
"I'd recommend this class especially for the STLE CMFS exam pre-course and all those new to this field." - Michael Jackiewicz, Process Support Engineer, Quaker Chemical.
