Smart Manufacturing Mindset™
Smart Manufacturing Mindset™, presented by CESMII - The Smart Manufacturing Institute & SME, is a monthly webinar where we challenge guests to think differently about manufacturing. We'll explore the nuances that hide in plain sight – behind the acronyms, techno-jargon and misinformation – to get to the truths that hold real value for real people in the industry.
In partnership with the Department of Energy, CESMII was established as a primary advocate and resource for Smart Manufacturing, including networking, education and workforce development, funded research projects and a Smart Manufacturing Innovation Platform to enable your digital transformation.
Smart Manufacturing Mindset™
Think Differently About Continuous Improvement
Join us as we dig into the age-old principles and practices of Continuous Improvement looking through the lens of modern, Smart Manufacturing thinking. Do Smart Manufacturing and CI belong together? Can they coexist? Or, conversely, can one truly exist without the other?
In this next installment of our Smart Manufacturing Mindset podcast series, we’ll unpack the role of Smart Manufacturing practices and technologies in underpinning the core tenants of Lean, 6-Sigma, and Digital Manufacturing. We’ll explore how data-driven strategies are transforming manufacturing by enhancing the essential role of people in driving progress, and offer invaluable insights into striking the necessary balance between harnessing data and empowering your workforce to drive constant improvement
