College of the Canyons to Present Digital Manufacturing Seminar

If you have a manufacturing business, what is the next logical step from the so-called “Lean Manufacturing?” How do you address the demand for product customization? And, can your business take advantage of digital manufacturing?

These and other questions will be addressed during a special seminar hosted by College of the Canyons’ Center for Applied Competitive Technologies (CACT) and Suresh Jayanthi of MassCus Technologies.

“Digital Manufacturing: The Journey from Mass Production to Mass Customization” is scheduled 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Sept. 24, at the Hyatt Valencia. A continental breakfast will be served at 8:30 a.m.

Mass customization is a new paradigm in product creation that levels the playing field between large and small manufacturers. Small manufacturers gain efficiencies and cost reductions, while large manufacturers gain agility and customer responsiveness.

The seminar will cover the concepts of mass customization, which is poised to become a significant industry trend, and stimulate thinking on ways to integrate it as part of a competitive business strategy. Planners, engineers and business development leaders will benefit from learning about the current state of this technology.

Cost for the seminar is $25 per person. To register, call (661) 259-3874.
