IMTS 2018 Conference: Agile Manufacturing - How to produce a lot size of one economically?

Plan to attend The IMTS 2018 Conferences to gain deeper insight into new manufacturing technologies and ideas!

About the topic

Shortening lifecycles and higher customization of products are rapidly increasing complexity in manufacturing, bringing a number of new challenges for manufacturers.

Key topics:

• How to answer constantly changing customer demands quickly
• How to introduce a new part into your manufacturing stream easily
• How to produce small lots economically, starting from a single lot of one

In this presentation we introduce an advanced manufacturing paradigm of Agile Manufacturing which allows production of small and changing lot sizes economically and quickly, including a lot size of one. 

Registration is now open, so check out the IMTS 2018 website for more information.
