The American Mold Builders Association announces a plant tour workshop of Craftsman Tool & Mold Co. to be held June 11, 2019. Creating an effective and profitable job scheduling and tracking system can feel like a daunting task for any owner or manager. However, at Craftsman Tool, a custom-designed software system is maximizing efficiencies in all areas of the company’s mold base manufacturing operation, redefining the next generation of ERP. From quoting, scheduling and direct interface with the company's 'CRP' system, all the way through tracking all stations of the shop, including non-conformative issues, maintenance scheduling, quality control and more, attendees will discover how the implementation of automated systems and a fine-tuned tracking strategy have achieved production improvement and increased profitability.
Other highlights of the plant tour will include state-of-the-art technology installations, including a new surface grinder that can hold very close tolerances, new vertical bridge CNC machines and advancements in large horizontal pallet changing and tool changing.
Tour registration includes transportation from the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center (site of Amerimold 2019), afternoon networking reception at TopGolf and attendee pass to Amerimold 2019.
