Topic: Maximizing Manufacturing Efficiency: Lessons from RFK Racing
Discover How teams like RFK Racing tackle complex manufacturing challenges and drive innovation to the win! Join this enlightening discussion.
In this webinar, you'll hear firsthand insights from the frontlines of earth-shattering motorsports action.
Winning in NASCAR isn't just about speed—it's also about precision, process control, and perfection in execution. Every week, RFK Racing dismantles and reassembles their race cars, ensuring every part meets top-notch tolerances. But this isn't just a talent exclusive to the racing world—similar challenges plague manufacturers daily.
That's why we've invited Kevin Kidd, Director of Software and Analytics at RFK Racing, and Humberto Silva, Customer Success Manager at Tulip, to share their unique insights. They'll discuss how RFK Racing transformed from a manual, Excel-based system to a connected, agile, digital-first manufacturing environment, and how manufacturers can apply their strategies for improvement.
Here's a sneak peek at what they'll cover:
- Identifying and fixing production bottlenecks, quality issues, and data silos
- The significance of traceability in high-performance operations (and how RFK Racing keeps every part measured, tracked, and validated)
- Eliminating manual, disconnected systems through digital workflows (bye-bye spreadsheet chaos!)
- Leveraging real-time data to accelerate assembly, reduce quality costs, and continuously improve operations
