Process technology revolution
Kenny Lynch , Vice President of Supply Chain for Aerospace , adds : “ That ’ s what drew me to Woodward – it ’ s a 150-year-old company that not only includes members , customers , and shareholders , but also suppliers . This makes a big difference when managing a supply base that is fragmented because of numerous acquisitions .
“ In aerospace and industrial , for example , we have over 1300 active suppliers ,” he continues . “ We separate these into categories like machining , engineered components , electronics , and distribution partners . From an internal standpoint , we ’ re embracing automation to maximize our capability to react to the ‘ new normal ’ when it comes to direct labor . We ’ ve established continuous improvement teams to assist our critical suppliers on their own automation journeys too , which includes visits to our facilities .”
In support of Kenny ’ s point , Michael explains : “ Our Rock Cut Campus set the bar for Factory 4.0 . This greenfield manufacturing site opened in 2015 . We ’ re experiencing a process technology revolution , especially with new digital factory and machining platforms . It extends from the typical ERP system we use to communicate with suppliers and understand demand forecast , all the way down to automated processes that digitally capture data to feed it back to the machining center for analysis .
“ We ’ re able to remotely monitor machine status , for example , as well as measure coolant temperature or concentration levels using sensors . In the past , we ’ d have to rely on an individual member to relay the status and conduct analysis to recognize when coolant levels reached a critical point , whereas engineers can now monitor levels remotely and be alerted when the threshold is met .
