EAST Session: Abstract : Every leader wants better results – higher sales, greater profitability, stronger talent retention. But results don’t appear out of thin air. They are outcomes, effects—each with a cause. If you want to change the results your organization is getting, you must influence what’s driving them. It’s a simple concept: for every effect, there is a cause. Yet, in the manufacturing industry, many leaders struggle to connect the dots between the two. What’s really behind your key performance indicators? The answer lies not just in the actions and behaviors of your workforce but in what drives those behaviors. This session will take you beyond the surface—the visible metrics, processes, and results—to the unseen forces shaping them. The real game-changer? The quality of thinking within your organization. Your employees' beliefs shape their thought patterns, which drive their daily decisions, actions, and ultimately, your bottom line. An organization can never outperform the mindset of its people. Join us to discover how shifting the beliefs of your workforce can elevate performance and push your organization to new heights. Significance/Importance : Manufacturing leaders strive for higher sales, profitability, and talent retention, but these results stem from deeper causes. But there are unseen forces behind key performance indicators—employee beliefs and thought patterns. Only by shifting mindsets can leaders drive better decisions, behaviors, and outcomes. You can unlock the power of thinking to elevate performance and position your organization for long-term success. And you must if you want to set yourself apart from the masses.
EAST Session: Moderated by: Steve Plumb Rather than start with a discussion of all the technologies available in the industrial marketplace, this panel session will start by outlining the primary concerns of manufacturing businesses. By first appealing to what the audience (machining businesses) cares about most at the start, the panel will logically ease into a discussion of how available technologies can help achieve greater outcomes for these businesses…in other words, solutions to the preeminent problems. Among the concerns highlighted at the outset will be improving competitiveness (domestically and globally), throughput (business growth), and yes productivity in the face of the manufacturing skills gap. The panel will be represented by industry leaders who either are dealing with these concerns directly, or those that have a “front row seat” to a variety of companies that seek to survive and thrive. Technologies that will be addressed will likely include automation, robotics, workforce training, machining technology, machine monitoring, software and AI to name a few. The above will be discussed in the first Executive Perspectives panel discussion on Tuesday, followed on Wednesday with another critical topic…cybersecurity.

EAST Exhibitor: 4D Technology designs and manufactures surface gauges, surface roughness profilers and other metrology systems, for accurate measurement of precision surfaces. 4D products use patented technology to bring high resolution measurement to production environments, even in the presence of severe vibration and turbulence. The 4D InSpec Surface Gauge is the first handheld, high resolution instrument for non-contact measurement of surface features and defects. With Portable, affordable, and easy to use, the 4D InSpec puts high resolution measurement on the factory floor, in machine shops and deployed environments. Measure pits, scratches, nicks, dents, bumps, rivet depth, dot peen depth, etc., from 0.1 to 100 mils deep. The 4D InSpec is far more repeatable and accurate than visual comparison techniques often used for defect inspection. Unlike high-end metrology systems it is rugged, flexible and affordable, to measure features on a wide range of part geometries, even on curved surfaces, on blind features or inside of bores.
