It takes a team to bring hardware to market. A winning strategy joins product developers, contract manufacturers, service providers, and manufacturing experts. You can find them all in New York State, but do you know where to look? And do you know what each team member needs to succeed?

Startups who are developing products are learning how to leverage the innovation ecosystem. Contract manufacturers who are used to working with established companies are learning how to work with entrepreneurs. To overcome these challenges, potential partners need to connect and communicate.

FuzeHub’s Solutions Forum provides an opportunity for the entire ecosystem to meet and exchange ideas. You’ll discover resources, customers, and suppliers while building mutually beneficial relationships. Join FuzeHub, AM&T, and Rev:Ithaca on February 19th at Rev:Ithaca Startup Works for the Build Your Manufacturing Business event.

This course educates participants in the Lean Six Sigma method of Design of Experiments (DOE), which identifies factors most important to the success of an improvement project. This analytical approach is explained through the scientific method utilized, impactful experiment designs and the interpretation of controlled tests. Minitab™ software is used to develop and analyze experiments.

This course is based on the 2015 version of the ISO 9001 Standard – which employs a process approach that incorporates the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle and risk-based thinking – and is applicable in manufacturing, service and public service sectors. It features a detailed review of the standard, audit activities and techniques, required documented information, objective evidence to gather, and third-party external auditor expectations when assessing ISO 9001:2015 management system compliance for certification.

This course explores the benefits of using simple graphs to describe and attach meaning to data. Data visualization enables the clear and efficient communication of information, serving as an instrument for reasoning, discussion, and decision making at all levels of an organization. It includes a hands-on activity of manually building graphs from raw data with pencil and paper alone, teaching participants that graphs do not have to be computer generated. Studies show plotting points by hand creates more ownership and accountability of results, compared with entering them into a computer.

High-performing companies that have successfully transformed into a Lean culture know that the “culture” part of Lean is the most important part. Culture is also the most difficult part to implement, understand, and even define. Performing Lean “tasks” without the framework and context of Lean culture may yield temporary benefits, but experience shows they are difficult to sustain. This course provides a forum in which we define Lean culture, and ways that Lean Leadership can foster this environment across all organizational functions.

This course examines the appropriate way to engage employees in 5S (organizing the physical space) and standardized work (organizing how work is done), so they grasp how these tools can make their work lives easier while improving the company.
