Top 10 Questions to ask Before you Engage Temp Resources
  New AMT Website!
Hiring temporary resources for virtually any function is now a common practice throughout the United States. In the engineering and design fields, the trend to engage temporary resources has been well established in industries such as Automotive and in disciplines such as IT. And the practice is growing rapidly across industries and disciplines. Once the decision has been made to leverage temporary resources, it is critical to match the assignment to the sourcing company.

AMT was first introduced to the BOE concept in a visit to the GM Nummi plant which currently produces the Pontiac Vibe. The visit was an extensive study in the lean process utilized by the plant. These processes are the basis for the BOE 4.0 standards. The BOE standard replaces current power-clamps with a clevis-clamp style approach allowing for a decrease in tooling space leading for an

increase in station welding content subsequently driving down the overall stations required. In addition the design allows for quick change of failed cylinders to reduce body shop maintenance costs. In the past valuable manufacturing costs were wasted in the time consuming method to change out the power-clamp style. The execution of designs using the BOE 4.0 standard further demonstrates AMT's commitment to "Lean Manufacturing".

Classes Scheduled for Robot Transition Training. Register Now! Call for Details.
 

Do you use one brand of robot in your plant and are purchasing a different brand? Have you hired an engineer that is only familiar with one type of robot and now needs to learn a different brand that is on your manufacturing floor? Are you an integrator that is being asked by your customer to integrate an unfamiliar robot? AMT has two upcoming classes just for this type of problem. AMT will host a ABB to FANUC robot transition training class on October 15-19. This class will train those familiar with ABB robots how to jog, setup, and navigate the menu of the FANUC robot. Likewise, a FANUC to ABB robot transition training class is scheduled for October 22-26. Class size is limited, so call now to reserve your seat at (248) 409-2000 or email us at training@appliedmfg.com. Future classes will be customized to cover transitioning between other major robot vendors - Kuka, Kawasaki, Motoman and Nachi robots. Watch for details in your email or call us for additional information.
