EAST Session: Abstract : Manufacturers are keen and pragmatic on how their capital is used to advance their state of manufacturing.  And it is clear to them how investments in physical assets bring operational value.  What is not so clear is the value-add of technology to their operations.  In this session, you will learn how to translate the value of technology to operations to facilitate internal planning and justification for technology investments. You will learn how to build a business case around technology to show the expected value and ROI of that investment. Using this approach, the project team can report the financial gains to key constituents to help with continued funding and support.  Significance/Importance : Manufacturers are keen and pragmatic on how their capital is used to advance their state of manufacturing.  And it is clear to them how investments in physical assets bring operational value.  What is not so clear is the value-add of technology to their operations.  In this session, you will learn how to translate the value of technology to operations to facilitate internal planning and justification for technology investments. 

EAST Session: We will discuss why usage reviews are essential to your company's growth. Whether you currently have an ERP solution in place or not, it is crucial to have an internal evaluation of your systems, what works well, and what new solutions need to be put into place for the future. We will answer the following questions: - Does your ERP system meet your business objectives? - What does your ERP system do well? - How can it be improved? - How can you get the most out of your ERP solution? - Do you need an ERP solution? - What are your options for an ERP solution or an internal solution?

EAST Session: Abstract : This session explores the growing relevance of Statistical Process Control (SPC) in today’s production environments. We begin by examining the role of real-time data—referred to as the "1st life" of data—captured during the production process, emphasizing the key capabilities, expectations, and benefits of a real-time SPC system. Moving beyond its initial use, we explore the "2nd life" of data, transitioning it from a compliance and process control tool to a valuable resource for advanced analysis. This includes its role in problem-solving, root cause analysis, and predictive applications such as modeling and simulations. The session highlights how leveraging both real-time and historical data can enhance decision-making and drive continuous improvement in manufacturing processes. Significance/Importance : Minitab surveys have found that most Statistical Process Control users, approximately 65%, have SPC in place to demonstrate their ability to meet specification limits, using SPC as a compliance tool. Our results also show that only 4% of manufacturers using SPC have achieved manufacturing excellence, meaning that they leverage process understanding and ensure predictable output. The session highlights maximizing the benefit of your real-time SPC data, growing from a compliance tool to a true continuous improvement system. We will explore leveraging SPC data to enhance decision-making and to drive continuous improvement in manufacturing processes.
