  • Product Manufacturing In China - Friend Or Foe? - Do you think that Henry Ford would have imagined that in a few decades from revolutionizing industry, we will have a global economy with a global workforce? Perhaps one of his most valuable visions was his understanding of industry, but today in our world of manufacturing so much of our products are manufactured with parts from all over the globe.
  • Introduction To The Business Of Manufacturing - The manufacturing business is probably the most challenging business a person can get into especially if he manufactures several products at the same time. Unlike the retail business or service business, for example, a manufacturing business has a lot of potential problem areas that should be resolved even at the start of the operation. Some of the issues a manufacturing has to deal with include the sourcing of the raw materials, training of the workers, and even controlling the inventory level. They also need to deal with financial concerns because a lot of investments are tied up on their inventory. In addition, manufacturing businesses usually have to wait a long period of time before their inventory is liquidated. A manufacturing company also has to find different retailers and wholesalers who will carry their products so that they will have a wide distribution network.
  • Import Product From China - At What Cost? - The manufacturing job market is growing rapidly in China and sure is not declining a bit. Currently the manufacturing sector is one of the largest employment sectors in China and at the rate it is growing it sure is a concern for US manufacturers. Economists believe if a sector grows in all parts of the world, then it is advantageous for all.
  • Manufacturing Equipment Financing - Generally all manufacturing companies require some equipment for the smooth running of their processes. They may need to replace any outdated equipment or to buy new equipment at any point of time. Investing in equipment is therefore important for any manufacturing concern. In fact, investing in new manufacturing equipment to produce goods can increase the flow of revenue. Since the cost of such equipments is high, the need for manufacturing equipment financing arises.
  • Manufacturing is NOT Dead Part I of V - Our current economy suggests that the manufacturing industry has fallen to a new low. To many, manufacturing jobs have seemingly disappeared throughout the USA. Many CNC machinists, forklift drivers, electricians, engineers, maintenance mechanics, production supervisors, quality engineers, etc. have found themselves looking for jobs in all industries. The truth is, Manufacturing is NOT dead; however, the old way of searching for manufacturing jobs certainly is DEAD. From my personal experience as the Vice President of a manufacturing recruitment/job board firm, career book author, and manufacturing job developer for almost 20 years, I know the manufacturing industry is hurting, but NOT dead. I also know there are many steps manufacturing job seekers can take to help themselves find work.

  • High Tech Manufacturing in the United States - As manufacturing seems that it has all but left the United States in search of lower labor rates, there is a large portion that has stayed within the lower 48 states due to high tech manufacturing methods that give U.S. business owners an edge on the competition. Rather than simple automation done by purchasing highly capable CNC mills and lathes, many manufacturers are developing custom tools and process machinery that is unique to their clientele. This could be anything from parts handlers to custom tooling.

  • Construction Software is Not the Same as Manufacturing Software - In today's world, it is fairly common to come across a contractor that also manufactures some or all of the products that they install for their customers. Custom cabinets are a common example, as are some structural steel and low voltage products. Companies that fall in to this category that are looking for new software often have assembly job shops that design custom pieces and a separate installation department that installs the products at a customer's site.
  • Boosting Shop Floor Confidence With Lean Manufacturing Technology - Shop floor managers are taught from early on that believing in themselves is an important trait in their personal success—and in instilling that same belief in their team members.

At least that’s the conclusion of a recent Birmingham Post article titled “Confidence can take those on factory floor only so far.

  • UK Business and its Correlation to the Manufacturing Sector - Britain's businesses are reeling from a deep recession and strong shocks are consequently being felt by the manufacturing sector. According to data from the office for national statistics, in the fourth quarter of last year, GDP fell 1.9% compared with previous year. This is the worst performance since 1991. What this portends for UK's business is drastic reduction of profit margins that eventually, almost inevitably translate to massive loss of jobs. Already it is confirmed that Briton's wage growth is so minimal that it has caused a steep drop in how the consumers spend which has in turn wilted the economy. In the previous few months a sharp slump has presented itself in the spending of household stuff with over 0.7%.
  • Engines Of Creation (Book Reviews) - Despite a massive assault by its critics, Engines of Creation is a truly revolutionary work, and Eric Drexler should be commended for launching a worldwide discussion on the topic of molecular manufacturing (MM), or molecular nanotechnology (MNT), as some refer to it. First of all, this is a book that needs to be updated, as the opening chapters deal in-depth with protein design and a later chapter tries to paint a picture of a future network of information known as "the Internet". But the remainder of the book is timeless.

U.S. manufacturing jobs declined in the 10-year and 7-year periods ended this past July, by approximately 14 and 18 percent respectively.

  • Dig for the Root Cause and Solve the Real Problem - Root cause analysis is used in many quality programs and can be used to solve many management problems. A person without the discpline to find the real problem will often jump to an answer that doesn't uncover the root of the problem. A review of quick assumptions will uncover this problem in an operation. Quality programs have been the way of life for operations in the aviation manufacturing business since WWII, but it has spilled over into other industries in modern times. Companies seeking certification under quality programs, or just wanting to improve their operations, must learn the discipline of digging for the root cause. For example, the first assumption made in airplane crashes is pilot error. The crash investigation team knows better.
  • Lead Alloy Manufacturer in India - Lead Alloy Manufacturer in India Because of the fact that lead is extremely soft, elastic and ductile, it is commercially used in the form of lead alloys.

Arsenic lead is used in chemical sheathing as Arsenic is able to harden the lead-antimony alloys and is required in the production of a round dropped shot. Lead-antimony alloys have been replaced by Lead-Calcium alloys in many applications, especially in casting applications and storage battery grids. Recently, Aluminum is added to Calcium-Tin-Lead and Calcium-Lead alloys to work as stabilizer for the Calcium.
