Today, high quality, quick response time, and effective cost management are all required for manufacturers to stay in business. Our businesses have sophisticated order management and inventory management systems. Few of these systems actually go down to the shop level to report on the effectiveness of our most important capital assets.  The May SME chapter meeting will offer an overview of what technology is available for automatically generated management reports, and uptime measurements for CNC machines.  Don Engles, from Productivity, Inc. will give a presentation and a demonstration of equipment that will allow you to have a more reliable picture of how your CNC performs in your plant.  Russ Hane, from Productivity, Inc.  also will present an overview of current fabrication technology. This presentation will also include some discussion on the topic of how new fabrication machines allow you to lower your manufacturing costs. Getting more operations included in basic sheet metal operations and some examples of how traditional designs have been modified in order to take advantage of these new capabilities will be presented.  We hope to see you there at Productivity, Inc. on May 7th..
