Casting design seminar teaches effective methods to attendees.The one-day "Cost-Effective Casting Design Seminar," once again proved to be a success. Presented by the AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System. AFS - Andrew File System Marketing Div. and CMI (Computer-Managed Instruction) Using computers to organize and manage an instructional program for students. It helps create test materials, tracks the results and monitors student progress. , and co-sponsored by Engineered Casting Solutions, more than 80 design engineers and end users arrived at the Donald E. Stevens Convention Center, Rosenront, Ill., August 4 for a one-day course on casting design. Michael Gwyn, Advanced Technology Institute, and Alfred Spada, MODERN CASTING and Engineered Casting Solutions, presented multiple application methods for efficient designs. Such topics included: unique characteristics of various casting processes, approaches to design from a total-systems perspective, where to look for cost-savings conversion opportunities and an evaluation of the framework for optimal procurement The fancy word for "purchasing." The procurement department within an organization manages all the major purchases. . Additionally, the instructors gave the students multiple case-studies to work on in groups. By using a simple casting design, the students were asked to detail the alloy alloy (ăl`oi, əloi`) [O. Fr.,=combine], substance with metallic properties that consists of a metal fused with one or more metals or nonmetals. and molding process used and why it would be the most effective. The next course is scheduled for November in Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. . |
