Optimation Introduces Primary Standards to Reduce Cost of Measuring Manufacturing Performance

mation has introduced Primary Standards(tm) which greatlyreduces the cost of measuring manufacturing performance. According to Michael D.Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation, "Primary Standards enables amanufacturer to know how each part produced contributes to the profitability of thecompany avoiding secondary standards that mislead and cause wrong decisions. Nearlyall businesses make measurements and these measurements are intended to tellmanagement about the performance and health of the business. Often these measurements are secondary standards such as square feet produced, tons shipped, contracts signed, units shipped and many others. Managers use these measurements with a false sense of security that they are actually managing the company well."The reason for this confusion is that the measurement in question was not designedto reflect the profitability of the company. As an example, consider pieces-per-houras a measurement. Pieces-per-hour is a rate measurement designed to measureefficiency of a machine or group of machines. There are many reasons why an increasein pieces-per-hour may not cause an increase in profit. The first is the sales priceand therefore contribution may be lower for the product mix produced during themonth. Another is that raw material may cost more. In addition, there are a numberof costs that have nothing to do with productivity that may be out of control duringthe month.For thirty years Optimation(r) has been the world leader in Part Nesting for OptimizedMaterial and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product advancementleadership to industry, the company's new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE make previousnesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation(tm), allows the systemto "see" the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them. When a personlooks at a part, they see the whole shape and any special features on the part. This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in an area of thenest. Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as excessiverotation. Optimation offers benchmarking against any other method of part nesting; recentbenchmarks have show improvements up to 15% in material efficiency alone. As leanefficiencies are essential, the most advanced nesting technology guarantees the mostimportant parts are always nested in the next available machine, providing advancedinformation to integrated costing, labor reporting, and material inventory systems.Because Optimation is strong financially and has the most advanced technology; thecompany offers direct financing from its own capital resources.Optimationwww.optima tion.comMichael D Lundy P.E.Opti1@optinest.com877-827- 2100
