Modern manufacturers succeed when they balance the types of jobs they accept with the capabilities they offer, and maximize the value of both their equipment and their personnel. Shops that fail to optimize their capabilities and remove inefficiencies from their processes may be unable to produce at their real capacity and meet expected quality standards. To improve efficiency and reach their production potential, shops must discover ways to meet four main challenges, especially as highmix, low-volume (HMLV) production gradually replaces mass-quantity output in multiple industrial environments.

Automakers, OEMs, and suppliers have faced unprecedented challenges in the wake of COVID-19. From chip shortages to truck barricades on the US–Canada border cutting off the flow of products, the automotive industry has been severely impacted by challenges that are leading to a loss of sales and frustrated customers. Advanced technologies are no longer “nice to have” but are now essential as automotive manufacturers step up their game to provide customers with more for less. Patched together, legacy systems, and outdated functionality tend to create more confusion than answers. Disconnected, siloed teams struggle with unreliable data and no clear vision for gaining new customers and retaining the old.

The ultimate goal for composite manufacturing is the fully automated production of complex composite structures. This is being accomplished for unreinforced plastics and metals with modern Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) achieves automated thermoset composite lay-up but requires an autoclave or other post process.
