The plastics industry..

One of American manufacturing's fastest growing fields of
production. The industry has made huge technological
advancements over the past 20 years.. from the introduction
of robotics and vision systems ..major loading and storage
improvements..even the transition from molding by time to
decoupled molding and scientific molding practices and
procedures has proven the industry's desire to become the
shining example of what the term "continuous improvement"
means in a global world of competitive lean manufacturing.

With growth comes competition... and a plastics company's
success is defined by their ability to produce high quality
product with a goal of zero defects in a lean manufacturing
environment..while maintaining a low bottom line on productivity,
quality and overhead costs to ensure a solid profit margin.

This section has been created for novice and advanced molders
alike. The articles and information in this area offer methods
and procedures for establishing concrete processes with consistent
molding conditions and minimal production of scrap while aiming
at high production efficiencies.

The links to the left offer insight into scientific molding
theory and procedures utilized for process development strategies.
