PAGE 2 ASMIE 2010 Materials Messages Call Dave Konyu with any meeting ideas, 325-5800. We open this new year and welcome Dave Konyu as Chair and Bob Grammer as Secretary. There is no treasure at present and ASM can not continue with out the members support. Please consider volunteering. In this new electronic age, the amount of time involved per month is minimal compared to the contacts you will make in the Spokane technical business community. We are currently trying to update our website via hosting through the ASM International web site. Hopefully next month there will be more information and resolution on this. Just a putt-putt golfer? You re in luck that s what we have. Come enjoy the camaraderie and networking opportunities through ASM.
SME SPOKANE CHAPTER 248 P.O. Box 141413 Spokane, WA 99214-1413 SEPTEMBER PROGRAM TOUR OF Novation Inc. is a high quality job shop metal/surface finishing business. Novation provides a broad range of finishing services which include: Anodize, Electroplating, Precious Metal Plating, Paint and Powdercoat processes. Novation s certifications span the Aerospace, Electronic, Military/Defense and Medical Industries. Novation s finishing systems provide efficiency and quick turnaround from prototype to large production runs. Novation began their lean transformation after attending a Lean training class hosted by Mackay Mfg in early 2010. The Novation team members conducted a process walk of their own facilities to map their value stream opportunities to remove waste. Based on that scan session, they had a great grasp of their current situation and were able to see what the future opportunities looked like. They finished up the scan with a planning session that led them into their first kaizen event. Come see Novation firsthand and learn about the critical and highly specialized manufacturing process of surface finishing and how lean is beginning to be applied.
