“Precision is our foundation.” “Eden takes on the most detailed challenges and meets the tightest of tolerances needed in industry today, because we value precision.” “Moldmaking is not just about performance; it's about predictable performance.” So, there you have my topic of conversation with Eden Tool and Eden Manufacturing President Dave Tomic: “predictable manufacturing.”
Here are a few highlights to whet your appetite for the full 10-minute conversation:
-
I like pushing boundaries like reimagining how a mold is built. (1:10)
-
The core of predictable manufacturing is a foundation that spins off and allows us to build a good, solid structure. (3:04)
-
Predicting your outcome of accuracy will improve your scheduling. (2:30)
-
Once you can accurately estimate the result of a manufacturing operation, you can significantly reduce polishing or remove secondary events such as fitting. (3:16)
-
Disruptive technology can grab headlines but it's small incremental gains that build good foundations. (7:45)
-
If you don't piggyback on good trade fundamentals you are shortsighted. (6:28)
-
At every point we take the fundamentals and reemphasize how that fits back into the big picture of predictable manufacturing. (7:33)
