SUMMARY:MD&M South - Workshop: Diving Deeper into Lean and Smart Manufacturing Synergies
DESCRIPTION:Lean manufacturing principles have played a significant role in driving efficiency across organizations through their emphasis on cost reduction\, waste elimination\, and THE customer. These principles have driven continuous improvement initiatives for many manufacturers. \nToday we see a wave of Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing technologies being implemented by leading manufacturers. Does that mean that Lean principles are no longer needed? The opposite is true. \nThe intersection of Lean and Digital has been coined “Digital Lean” and we will discuss examples of how this powerful combination of timeless lean principles and the latest digital technologies is reducing waste and variability in manufacturing processes. Digital lean isn’t a separate set of lean principles but a powerful enhancement of existing methodologies. Leveraging Smart Manufacturing technologies\, Digital Lean techniques deliver precise\, timely\, and detailed operational insights\, elevating the application of lean principles. \nFacilitators: \n\nConrad Leiva\, CESMII\nTim Stuart\, Visual Decisions\n\nTopics covered include: \n\nMindset and Principles behind Digital Lean Manufacturing\nHow Digital Lean techniques improve:\nDecision-Making\nResource Use\nProduction Flow\nProduct Quality\nProblem Solving\nPutting it all into Practice

SUMMARY:AIST - Digital Transformation Forum for the Steel Industry
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Digital Transformation Forum for the Steel Industry is a leading platform for steel producers\, technology experts and innovators to engage in the ongoing evolution of digitalization across the steel industry. Building on the momentum of previous forums\, the program shifts focus to the practical realities of artificial intelligence (AI): how it’s being used today in the steel industry\, and what’s truly required to make it deliver value. \nThe 2026 program will center on generative AI as a transformative technology\, with a focus on how it’s being applied to plant challenges like safety\, predictive maintenance and process innovation. The forum will explore the conditions needed for success — from data readiness and quality to effective integration strategies — through case studies\, panel discussions\, and technical papers. The program will give attendees a candid and collaborative look at how generative AI is reshaping steel — across operations\, supervision and process automation. \nThis forum is designed for decision-makers\, technical leaders\, and digital transformation experts seeking actionable insights into launching\, scaling\, and sustaining digital transformation initiatives within their organizations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
