Adopting Lean Manufacturing Practices Makes Economic Sense
In this International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) video, Brajendra Mishra, Kenneth G. Merriam Professor of Mechanical Engineering at WPI and director of the Center for Resource Recovery & Recycling and the Metal Processing Institute, explains why lean manufacturing makes sound economic sense. Lean manufacturing, which is the concept of using less labor, energy, materials and water to keep waste out of landfills, is becoming less a choice and more of a societal need. If you’d like to learn how recycling, along with migration to new technologies, will be essential to metalworking in the coming years, you’ll want to learn more about the practice of lean manufacturing.
