SUMMARY:Manufacturing Hub Huddle | Transform Manufacturing through Technology: Manage Inventory Turns and Hidden Costs\, Boost Process Efficiency\, and Maximize E-Commerce Capabilities.
DESCRIPTION:Transform Manufacturing through Technology: Manage Inventory Turns and Hidden Costs\, Boost Process Efficiency\, and Maximize E-Commerce Capabilities.\n\n\n\nThursday\, July 13 | 7 - 8:15 a.m.\n\nHyatt Place | Hyatt House Hotel\, East Moline\n\n$15 Member | $25 Non-member\n\n \nSmall to medium size manufacturers are the industry's bedrock and provide products to supply chains that serve every consumer household need\, from vehicles to construction to retail purchases. In many cases\, manufacturers are building parts with limited tools and technology. Industry 4.0 EZ is cloud-based software that measures operational performance and monitors real-time operational intelligence. Industry 4.0 EZ technology pulls information from the plant floor through easy-to-use apps and integrates the information directly with factory floor machines. If you are ready to take your manufacturing operations to the next level\, join us for this roundtable discussion to learn more about how implementing technology into your processes can yield higher efficiencies and profits. \n\n \n\nAudience\n\nManufacturing company owners\, presidents\, operations manager\, production manager\, quality manager/engineer\, continuous improvement manager/engineer\n\n \n\nAgenda\n\n1.     Case study presentation\n\n            - Presenter introduction\, Varsha Jayade\n\n           - Current manufacturing challenge\n\n    - Technology trends\n\n    - Manufacturing execution software introduction\n\n2.     Manufacturing challenges faced by participants (5-7 mins)\n\n    - Gather in roundtable groups of 3-4 people\n\n        - Individually list 3 challenges faced right now\n\n        - List out the top three challenges from each table\n\n3.     Go through practical solutions for these challenges\n\n    - List of challenges with ranking (30   35 mins)\n\n    - Solutions for challenges with suggestions and software applications\n\n  \n\nMeet our speaker\n\n \n\nVarsha  Jayade\n\nFounder | Industry40ez\n\nVarsha Jayade of Industry40ez worked for large manufacturers such as Whirlpool\, Pella\, WTC\, and small manufacturers for over 15 years in leading engineering\, continuous improvement\, quality\, and supplier development teams. Her passion and experience for manufacturing inspired her to create Industry40ez solutions. Industry40ez solutions help manufacturers transform their operations from reactive to proactive\, enabling them to quickly identify and address production issues before they become costly problems. By providing manufacturers with the tools\, they need to operate more efficiently and effectively\; they stay competitive in an ever-changing global marketplace. Through her company\, she has been able to help solve problems to improve performance and launched strategic initiatives for cultural change and continuous improvement.\n\nhttps://industry40ex.com\n\n  \nAbout the Manufacturing Hub\n\nThe Quad Cities Chamber is one of four Illinois Defense Manufacturing Consortium (ILDMC) community members who share a grant to help local manufacturing companies and defense contractors grow through Manufacturing Hub programs\, events\, and services focused on opportunities and issues\, operational excellence\, innovative technology\, and workforce. \n\n\n	Hub Huddles are bi-monthly morning sessions to connect on topics most pressing for manufacturers and to meet peers\, partners\, and suppliers critical for business growth. \n\n\nThe Quad Cities Chamber strives to host inclusive and accessible events that enable all individuals to engage fully.
