Article Abstract:

American Manufacturing Technologies' (AMT) used a statistical process control system to shift from batch-mode to demand-flow manufacturing. AMT selected the Windows-based, M-Ware manufacturing execution system by Applied Statistics Inc. The system obtained data from measuring tools, allowed interface with measuring tools as well as data access over a local area network. The system has also increased production by 100% and reduced both internal parts and external defects.
