Shout outs

…so using the term “shout out” gave me pause. I am getting to the age where my daughter tells me what is cool and what isn’t, and it is too late to wake her to ask her if shout out is an acceptable term to use in 2011.

Hopefully, our readers are as socially awkward as I am and will forgive me lack of social awareness.

In any case, I simply want to recognize one of our customers that has achieved some amazing results in the area of Lean Manufacturing. Ryan King of Arpac in Schiller Park was written up in AutomationWorld this month for his efforts in creating a lean environment and his automation of their ERP system. His next step will be to feed data from SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM and to eliminate additional overhead and duplication of efforts.
