Leading Mfg. Journalist Tr Cutler Looks At Nesting At Johnson Controls
Ranked as the nation's leading manufacturing journalist and a contributing editor for more than 300 publications annually, TR Cutler, Inc. President & CEO Thomas R. Cutler, (www.trcutlerinc.com) has been writing extensively about manufacturing for almost ten years. According to Cutler, "The dynamic stories of manufacturers create a bounty of interesting and important business strategies." Cutler is a proud member of the Society of Professional Journalists, Online News Association, and American Society of Business Publication editors.
In the current issue of MetalForming magazine, leading manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, profiles the importance of nesting solutions. According to Cutler, "A major demand on lean manufacturing is control of first operations where raw material may be cut into multiple parts. First operations such as laser cutting or CNC punch pressing dictate what parts are available to subsequent operations, thereby controlling much of the downstream process flow. Building an optimal nest of parts requires the ability to read an active order file for the current demand of parts and extract the appropriate ready-to-nest parts. A host of factors must be considered, including material efficiency, part priorities (today's orders, hot parts, filler parts), setup costs, order completion, labor and machine throughput.
Key to building that optimal part nest is the right part-nesting software, which takes into account a host of factors when deciding the best way to arrange parts on a sheet. That is what Boyd Keller, a software engineer for JCI-York, was looking for four years ago when he found Axiom nesting software from Optimation, Blue Springs, MO.
"The software used previously would not be able to handle the shear amount of work we needed to process," Keller says.
