SUMMARY:Optimizing Production in the Age of Digital Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintToday’s Markets are no longer satisfied with “standard” products and services. Manufacturers are increasingly driven to produce smaller quantities of a wider variety of products – and to do it with great efficiency. Rigid\, inflexible processes no longer meet the needs of the market. Flexibility and agility are required to compete and succeed in this highly dynamic environment. \nFortunately\, we live in a time of digital transformation where our goals are no longer hampered by restricted back office systems with capabilities limited to specific partners. This is a rigid transaction-based mode of operation. New technologies can now bring about the revolutionary change needed to transform the value creation model. Manufacturers globally are increasingly moving from product-centric\, slow\, rigid\, & static supply chains to an experience-centric\, fast\, agile\, and dynamic value network. \nIn this webinar you will learn how the modern manufacturer orchestrates operations through the effective use of digital and analytic technologies available today. \nAreas we will explore include: \n\nHow the effective adoption of technologies such as advanced supply chain planning\, optimization\, IOT and edge computing drive value creation now and in the future.\nUnderstanding the art of what is possible by modelling all of the operational processes.\nBringing long-term plans into focus for effective execution in the real world.\nHow advanced planning technology is already delivering a competitive advantage today.\nWhat the digital transformation journey looks like and how to apply the enabling technologies.\n\nSpeaker \nCamilo Gaviria\, Vice President of Technical Sales at DELMIA\, Dassault Systèmes \nCamilo Gaviria is the Vice President of Technical Sales at DELMIA.

SUMMARY:Connecting Health & Safety\, Sustainability and Operational Excellence
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintOccupational safety and health (OHS) professionals working in organizations are integral to sustainability and operational excellence.  In the past\, corporate sustainability efforts focused on environmental issues\, such as resource usage and emissions reductions. Attention has turned to other aspects of sustainability\, including occupational safety\, health and wellness. Companies and their supply chains are managing sustainability through strategic initiatives embedded into daily operations\, managed and measured proactively and globally as part of larger business/operational excellence initiatives and stakeholder expectations. \nInvestors break down sustainability into environmental\, social and governance (ESG) issues\, with an expectation companies will report on the measurement and resulting outcome of managing these issues.  The safety and health of workers – the human capital – is part of the social dimension of sustainability. \nSome companies call this corporate social responsibility (CSR)\, others refer to it as the triple-bottom line\, leveraging people\, planet and profits to achieve long-term value and organizational sustainability goals. Ideally\, sustainability goals strive to balance social\, environmental and economic considerations for long-term corporate success and viability. \nThis webinar will examine sustainability by: \n\nDiscussing the ‘Why’ for your CEO\, you and the safety and health profession.\nDefining sustainability – ESG\, CSR and a “triple-bottom line” approach.\nDiscussing recognized standards used to report on OHS sustainability.\nExploring the need for reliable\, consistent and relevant safety and health metrics for return on sustainability efforts.\nPresenting current work on leading metrics for OHS – sustainability and how they support integrating OHS\, sustainability and operational excellence.\n\nSpeakers   \n\n \nKathy A.

DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintMost manufacturers have experienced a decade of growth since the Great Recession ended in 2009. But there are signs — declines in new orders\, a stagnating U.S. gross domestic product\, reduced corporate growth estimates — that the good times may be coming to an end. If history does repeat itself\, a slowdown will dramatically impact manufacturers’ revenues\, profits\, and cash cycles. Fortunately\, leaders of these firms can take steps to prepare their organizations before an economic slowdown or recession. \nLearn what you can do to get ready in this exciting IndustryWeek webinar. You’ll find out how to recession-proof your operations by: \n\nCreating an agile organization that reacts effectively to geopolitical\, technological\, and human factors that alter demand\nBuilding a strong manufacturing foundation by setting higher goals (via zero-loss thinking)\, establishing a system for high performance\, and expanding employee capabilities\nLooking beyond the four walls of your own organizations to minimize or reduce demand variation\, by collaborating with customers and integrating suppliers into your operations.\n\nSpeakers \n \nPhil McIntyre\, Managing Director\, Client Development and Marketing\, Performance Solutions by Milliken \nPhil’s career is steeped in thirty years’ worth of business leadership and manufacturing expertise. Phil has successfully worked with and led several business units within Milliken & Company to profitable growth and financial sustainability.
