Identifying Manufacturing Variations in Computerized Stitching
Faculty Advisor: Lawrence Neeley
Sponsor: New Balance
Our team worked with New Balance to investigate certain manufacturing processes for New Balance shoes at their Lawrence, MA factory. We mainly looked into the causes of potential variations in stitch location that become apparent during computerized stitching processes. To investigate this, we tested the stitching process with different materials and adjusted pallets based on our findings and observations of experts working at the facility. Our goal was to collect data to experimentally determine root causes of the variations.
