Article Abstract:
American Manufacturing Technologies' (AMT) used a statistical process control system to shift from batch-mode to demand-flow manufacturing. AMT selected the Windows-based, M-Ware manufacturing execution system by Applied Statistics Inc. The system obtained data from measuring tools, allowed interface with measuring tools as well as data access over a local area network. The system has also increased production by 100% and reduced both internal parts and external defects.

Article Abstract:
Fred V. Fowler Co Inc's universal gages has helped Gardner Denver Machinery Inc to measure an 80-inches long part of a newly developed blower impeller to a tolerance of .002 inches. Gage capability of the universal gages has been raised from the normal 10-inches capability to 90-inches capability with the help of extensions. The extended gages further provide immediate and accurate measurements of Gardner Denver's impellers.
