Art And Science - You need both to be at your best in manufacturing

摘要

What does it take for a shop to be successful? By coincidence, two of our articles this month point to a combination of "art and science." The article starting on page 84 discusses the "art" of designing optimized cylinder heads and the "science" of precisely replicating these designs. Likewise, the article starting on page 94 discusses the "art" of balancing the variables in ceramic part production and the "science" of machining these components. One reason these shops are successful, it seems, is that their art and their science empower each other. Thus, they are able to deliver a compelling level of creativity and productivity to customers.
