Opis

You have been tasked with increasing productivity and increasing quality, while at the same time lowering the cost of your manufacturing processes.

The solution is to automate ... but how?

Identifying a manufacturing process that can be automated is often a daunting task. It requires a team approach to qualifying, validating, and then finally, implementing a program. This book takes you through the best practices for each step, regardless of the application type or the industry segment. It will show you how to achieve the system expectations that were planned for and benchmarked, and it will also help identify the most common pitfalls - all without having to eliminate employees.
