Part-quality issues and missed production quotas can sink profitability in a competitive marketplace. The same problems reappear but due to stress, lack of training or hard delivery deadlines we struggle to find the time to solve the root cause of the problem. The challenge of workforce retirement drives us to understand how to integrate new generations into the press shop and successfully drive culture change in the organization. This presentation will discuss how to systematically achieve operational excellence using best practices and technology to improve uptime and eliminate nuisance stops. Drawing on more than a decade of personal experiences, successful philosophies will be offered to overcome challenges in metal stamping production. When operational excellence is achieved, manufacturers find that they have improved their competitive position, are more in touch with their business, have reduced costs and waste, have eliminated die crashes, and are boosting productivity.
