  • Publication number: 20060259338
    Abstract: A system and related method to assist a business in evaluating the rapid response to one or more product fabrication bid requests. The system includes a survey function for gathering information from individuals of identified groups. The information includes assigned values associated with a plurality of defined outcomes. The system also includes a calculation function to calculate opportunity scores associated with the values obtained for the outcomes through the survey function. A reporting function of the system applies the calculated opportunity scores to a visual representation, such as an innovation dashboard, of those outcomes that may be modified with the best chance of producing a positive effect on the status of the business. An optional function of the system is a planning function including worksheets to define steps to undertake to produce the improvements in the identified outcomes.

  • Publication number: 20060242005
    Abstract: A comprehensive method to train and aid manufacturers in identifying inefficiencies in product manufacturing processes and in improving such processes. The method includes placing individuals in roles associated with a complete manufacturing operation from supply acquisition through to product delivery in the simulation of a product to be made. The method includes a set of tools describing individual stages of the complete manufacturing process but with all tools related to the common simulation. The individuals carry out their roles in the steps of the production simulation and their roles may be varied. This comprehensive method aids individuals in the observation and correction of wasteful production activities from the supply chain through manufacturing and back-end functions.

  • Publication number: 20060235706
    Abstract: A system and related method for the rapid response to one or more product fabrication bid requests. The system includes a translation function for translating received product information into information suitable for a manufacturer to produce fabrication information. The system further includes a product fabrication function for generating product fabrication setup sheets and programming based on the translated product information. The system also includes a bid preparation function that produces bid information, such as pricing and scheduling, based on the generated product fabrication information. A process that had taken days to complete is finished in minutes. The related method includes the steps of querying a database of available manufacturers for their capability and available equipment to fabricate a desired product.
