The next Industrial, Systems, and Manufacturing Engineering (ISME) Colloquium will feature Trey Waldron, Spirit Aerosystems project manager for strategic programs at 11 a.m. today, April 15 via Zoom. Waldron’s presentation is titled “737 Floor Beam Automated Assembly Line at Spirit Aerosystems.”
Waldron will discuss how the aerospace industry still relies heavily on manual labor. Aerospace manufacturers are currently dealing with huge backlogs and need a solution that speeds up production. This presentation is an example of how Spirit Aerosystems was able to accomplish this dilemma with a new solution that improves quality and throughput and reduces the learning curve and work in process.
