How Specialty Ring Products Uses Lean Manufacturing
One of the key elements in Specialty Ring Product’s continuous improvement efforts has been the adoption of lean manufacturing principles to improve productivity and efficiency as we design products such as rolled rings.
What is lean manufacturing? It’s a practice created in the Japanese auto industry – by Toyota, more specifically – to eliminate waste and inefficiency.
Going lean was so successful that it was embraced by manufacturers around the world. For an American company, being lean is critical when competing against countries where it costs less to do business.

How Seamless Rolled Rings Are Used in the Aerospace Industry
Earlier this month, we came across a story about a plan by NASA to send a nuclear-powered tunneling robot to explore the ocean beneath the icy surface of Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter.
There may be life in that ocean – or at least evidence that life once existed there – and NASA is hoping the tunnelbot can burrow into the ice – which may be as much as 18 miles thick – to look for clues, as Popular Mechanics reported December 17.
