The Development of a High Performance Product Created
through the Combination of Metallurgical Technology, Process Control, and Lean Manufacturing
Ray Parkinson -- Kaiser Aluminum, USA
Kaiser relocated its research and development from a central research center to a decentralized organization with focused centers of excellence. This has been an enabler for the concurrent development of process and products by multifunctional teams working in Kaiser’s extrusion plants. Process control has been the key to maintaining experimental product performance commercially in the market place. |
