- 2. The Big Question Princeton University professor and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, won the 2008 Nobel Prize for economics The Nobel committee hailed Krugman for his approach "based on the premise that many goods and services can be produced more cheaply in long series, a concept generally known as economies of scale." His theory shows that globalization tends to increase the pressures on urban living because specialization sucks people into these centers of concentration through processes that can result in "regions become divided into a high-technology urbanized core and a less developed 'periphery'," the Nobel jury said. 1 1. “US economist Paul Krugman wins Nobel Economics Prize” by Nina Larson Nina Larson.

Lean Manufacturing Machining Cell Turbine Blade Manufacturing Cell Generated electronic Value Stream Map using eVSM TM Used eVSM to Generate Factory Model of Workcell in QUEST “ What If” lean scenarios were tested in the virtual environment “ CCAT has provided access to tools that have helped us better understand how to make our value stream lean. Using their value stream mapping and factory modeling software, we were able to run “what if” scenarios on our future state. Our team was able to see the impact of batch sizes, buffer stock and asset utilization in a virtual environment before implementation. This has given us the validation we needed to move forward on our shared resource value stream. I highly recommend any manufacturing company to tap into the CCAT’s state of the art offerings.” ~ Brian J. Wilczynski, Continuous Improvement Manager GKN Aerospace – Manchester, CT
