Agile manufacturing long has been joked a contradiction in terms, but no more. New data and analysis tools, combined with new manufacturing tools, are allowing the factory floor to become more adaptive and efficient. But, this goes beyond lean manufacturing and remains unchartered territory for many aerospace producers. This track will discuss how manufacturers can move their operations up a notch.
