IndustryWeek Operations Leadership Summit: May 3 Early-Bird Deadline Approaches!

Learn from operational excellence leaders at the upcoming IW Operations Leadership Summit, coming to Indianapolis June 26-28. Today I'm sharing with you a little about one of the presentations in the Continuous Improvement track. It's called Creating a Collaborative Culture: The Benefits of Breaking Down Barriers Between Individual Sites.

In this session you'll hear from custom plastics molder Falcon Plastics, which recognized that acting as individual plant sites rather than a single organization was neither efficient, nor was it helping the manufacturer drive maximum productivity gains.

Learn how they:

  • broke down individual facility silos
  • discovered keys to establishing a common set of goals and objectives across the organization
  • figured out how to balance plant utilization and labor flexibility during regional labor and market challenges

It's a can't-miss session, of which we have many. Visit the IW Operations Leadership Summit and learn more. Register by May 3 and save $200. 

See you there. — Jill Jusko, Executive Editor.
