Lattice Technology Releases New Lean Manufacturing Book, Available Free of Charge.
“Improving Lean Manufacturing Through 3D Data,” Authored by Lattice Technology’s Dr Hiroshi Toriya, Available Free of Charge as an Exclusive Downloadable E-book.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 11, 2009 -- Lattice Technology, developers of digital manufacturing applications using the XVL® format, today released the first 2 chapters of the new book, “Improving Lean Manufacturing Through 3D Data” by Dr. Hiroshi Toriya.
First published in Japan in late 2008, this book is targeted at manufacturing executives and educators trying to work out new strategies to build greater productivity and efficiencies into existing manufacturing processes. The book covers a wide range of case studies from leading Japanese manufacturers, along with recent survey data, to build understanding of how manufacturing can be enhanced using 3D data in downstream processes. It also explains the evolution of 3D and IT in the industry, and shows how it can be leveraged into other areas of manufacturing that are still using traditional processes.
“Manufacturing is the engine that will power every country in the world out of recession and back into growth. But importantly, to create that power, manufacturers have to be yet more lean and significantly more efficient than they already are,” commented Dr. Toriya, president and CEO, Lattice Technology. “This book is intended to help manufacturers worldwide, by delivering the thought processes and strategies of major manufacturers in Japan in their efforts to make manufacturing leaner with 3D.”
This latest book is available free and exclusively from Lattice Technology and 2 chapters per month will be released to registered recipients. The book delivers 13 Chapters which include case studies on major manufacturers including Toyota, Brother Industries, Niigata Power Systems, Alpine Precision Inc., and more.
