Getting from Prototype to Finished Product: Three Must-Answer Questions

Articles about new product development have proliferated across the Internet, offering tips on major considerations ranging from patent protection and cost estimating to prototype development and materials (e.g. drawings; cardboard; molded plastic). Yet, beyond the traditional wisdom, there are questions many inventors never ask themselves—and that aren’t often covered in articles about product design, development and launch.

As the owner of a fabrication shop that works with inventors on a regular basis, I have identified many important, less common questions that, depending on the answer, can boost the odds of success for inventors moving from prototype to finished product. The three that follow are among the most important to consider—and answer honestly.

A local team was invited to a big competition this summer.

Forsyth County Schools College & Career DevelopmentIn July, six students from Forsyth Central High School competed in the Indiana Robotics Invitational, a prestigious competition for high school students held by FIRST Robotics Competition, or FRC.

Coach Jonathan Lillie said Central's team — Team OTTO, named for sponsor Automation Direct — was one of 70 teams chosen to compete, though twice as many entered.

"They took in over 140 applications and these people that actually apply to the tournament are seasoned veteran teams. The best in North America is probably the best description. We have teams from Mexico and Canada that apply," Lillie said.

Brushing up sheet metal assembly
Table brushes support cosmetically critical parts without a scratch.

Scratching a cosmetically critical part during assembly can be costly. This is where choosing the right material for the assembly table surface can be critical. It's here that the table brush may be able to help.

At Metcam, a custom fabricator in Alpharetta, Ga., assemblers slide parts across a series of table brushes for scratch-free production.
At Metcam, a custom fabricator in Alpharetta, Ga., assemblers slide parts across a series of table brushes for scratch-free production.

A job goes through punching, forming, hardware insertion, inspection, and now it's at the assembly station, after which an employee notices something. The cosmetically critical parts aren't acceptable. They're scratched.

What happened? A kaizen event commences, people start asking questions, and they find that the parts were scratched in the assembly stations. It really was no one's fault. Parts move across carpeted tables, and those tables sometimes have tiny metal parts or debris stuck on them. So how do they avoid this?

Ga. production slows but still up
Factors impeding manufacturing not expected to abate soon, expert says.

Linh Nguyen operates a sheet-forming robot at Metcam's Alpharetta plant. The manufacturing sector is being slowed by less-encouraging market conditions. HYOSUB SHINManufacturing in Georgia started the year moving forward but in a lower gear, according to a report from Kennesaw State University.

The sector, which employs more than 377,200 people statewide, nearly half in metro Atlanta, is being slowed by less-encouraging market conditions, according to the KSU Econometric Center.

The center surveys manufacturing companies across Georgia. The answers are factored into the Purchasing Managers Index, which sums up how things look for manufacturing.

The overall index dipped from 52.5 to 52.0 in January, with a decline in five of the six categories measured in the monthly report, according to economist Don Sabbarese, director emeritus of the center.

Resurrection of an industry — manufacturing
Feature Article - bizjournals.com
(July 31, 2015)

While many in the popular press declared the end of manufacturing in this country years ago, manufacturing is once again a growing and vital part of our national and regional economy. According to the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), since the end of the recession in 2009, manufacturing output has increased 18 percent. Manufacturers contributed a record $2 trillion to our economy. The manufacturing sector is larger than the entire economies of all but seven countries, and manufacturing exports have reached an all-time high. Manufacturing is no longer a declining sector of our economy but one that is growing.

The methodology, whose moniker literally means good change in Japanese, has its origins after World War II. However, based upon many published studies and articles about its adoption, organisations might assume kaizen as a sweeping effort often undertaken by giant corporations with equally large budgets.

All manufacturers seek to improve processes and ROI. Alpharetta, GA-based Metcam, a fabricator of sheet metal components and assemblies, has seen significant improvement since beginning its kaizen initiative in late 2013. What follows is the company's blueprint for kaizen success.

One of the kaizen projects involved reorganizing and creating a management system for the turret punch tool center. The improvement enhanced the efficiency and workflow of the turret punch cells and facilitated maintenance and inventory improvements.
One of the kaizen projects involved reorganizing and creating a management system for the turret punch tool center. The improvement enhanced the efficiency and workflow of the turret punch cells and facilitated maintenance and inventory improvements.

In late 2013 Metcam Inc. brought in two experienced kaizen consultants to identify small but significant improvement initiatives that would yield meaningful results and ROI. This effort was the first step in our plan to implement kaizen practices into our operation.

Kaizen is a Sino-Japanese word that literally means "good change" (kai = change; Zen = good). In the business world, it has come to describe a system of continuous improvement based upon the principle that making small, positive changes on an ongoing basis can lead to big results.

Metcam Applies Pressure Downstream

A sustainability effort can be effective only if manufacturers' suppliers and vendors are part of the effort as well.

Sue Max, EHS Manager, Metcam, Inc., Alphretta, Ga., advised attendees to partner with suppliers and vendors to find common goals and identify barriers.

A metal fabricator such as Metcam relies heavily not only on its material suppliers, but also on its capital equipment and machinery suppliers. When the company wanted to replace its solvent-based paint with a powder coating, that meant not only replacing the coating but the entire coating equipment line as well.

The powder coat system transitioned the company's classification from a "large-quantity hazardous waste generator" to a "conditionally exempt small-quantity generator." As a result of ceasing to emit volatile organic compounds (VOC), an air permit was no longer required, and the reduction in hazardous waste disposal cut costs.

Metcam reviews its material suppliers and seeks those with recyclable materials and reuse programs. Max said that ISO 14001 standards lay out the path, starting with identifying all environmental impacts and tracking ongoing performance.
