We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Lean Enterprise",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Latest CAM halves press tool machining times from
Sescoi International, which we summarised at the time by saying "Power press tools maker found its old CAM system could not cope with the recent doubling of factory size and a trial with a new system revealed that a 24h machining job can now be done
in 12h".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Filter product lead times reduced from
Deutsch: "Deutsch has reduced lead-times on repeat orders for its filter products to 12 weeks, marking its commitment to programmes such as the Lockheed Martin Joint Strike Fighter, Boeing 787 and Airbus A380".
In March 2007, we covered the news from eBECS
- take a look at Dynamics buys into lean manufacturing
which says: "The acquisition of the code and IP for the eBECS module is part of a major investment Microsoft has made across manufacturing, distribution, retail, services and public sector".
Take a look also at the news release from Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft focussed on industry relevance,
as well as Vertical machining for EDM electrode production from Hurco Europe,
and VMC keeps EDM electrode machining 'in-house' from Hurco Europe.
