techniques for applying lubrication where and when it is needed in order to maximize production and minimize usage. Methods for containing, collect- ing and recycling lubricants will be reviewed, as well as actual ROIs realized by companies that have implemented these procedures.

Cost-Effective Environmental Strategies
Greening Metalforming Operations—Big Improvement with Small Changes
Learn how lean and green practices can be used to assess the impact of lubricants on metalforming operations, from initial application to welding, cleaning and painting. A case study from a chassis stamping plant will demonstrate how to achieve significant savings by identifying and eliminating waste and nonvalue-added activities.
Green FluidTechnology for Metal Stamping
Learn how to select your lubricants and evaluate their performance to turn your stamping operations lean and green. Green lubricants will be defined and their pros and cons compared to standard chemistries will be discussed. Case studies will be presented to demonstrate cost-saving techniques and evaluations.
Forming Simulation
Simplified Draw Die Simulation
This presentation will address the need for a simplified simulation solu- tion for draw die simulation and advanced simulation technology. Learn how to increase cycle times, lower soft- ware costs, improve die-design quality and lower user qualification thresholds.
Introduction to Formability Analysis
In this session you will be intro- duced to the essential metalforming
analysis techniques of circle grid, finite element and stochastic analysis as it is applied to sheetmetal stamped parts. Learn to read and interpret forming limit diagrams and discover methods to bring formability measurement to the production environment.
Selling to the Government
This presentation will cover all of the fundamentals associated with reg-
istering for, identifying and bidding on government contracts. Attendees will become acquainted with the availabili- ty of services near their facilities and across the country that provide assis- tance with the government contract- ing process.
