SUMMARY:Turning Excess Stock into Working Capital
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintDo you know how much excess stock you have in your warehouse right now? How much of that is helpful safety stock and how much is just wasted cash? If you’re stuck on QuickBooks or an inventory spreadsheet\, it’s almost a guarantee that you don’t have an accurate feel for those numbers. And if you don’t know where your excess is\, there’s nothing you can do to move it. Add in monthly carrying costs to keep that unneeded stock around\, and you’ve got a costly problem. \nThere is a better way. By identifying that stock\, you can free up your working capital\, enabling you to invest in your business in far more effective ways. By canceling surplus orders and learning how to create smarter purchase orders\, you can maximize your inventory investment\, boost profits\, and significantly improve your team’s productivity. \nJoin IMC for this free webinar sponsored by Empower Business Solutions. \nRegister \nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:Driving Operational Excellence Through Your Front Line
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrint“The manufacturers who will succeed are not the ones who work harder\, but the ones whose frontlines can learn faster and work smarter.”  \nIn the smart\, connected and digital world where organizations are collecting mountains of information\, manufacturing and supply chain leaders are harnessing the power of big data to make strategic decisions that drive their business forward. These data-driven decisions are enabling organizations to transform everything from their products to their processes and production models. But there’s still an enormous opportunity that remains largely untapped: their people. \nThe reason for this is two-fold: Firstly\, traditional training programs don’t engage employees or drive the kind of participation rates needed to impact change. And secondly\, they don’t capture the kind of information and insights around frontline knowledge and behaviors required to make informed business decisions. What’s more\, these traditional training programs can’t keep up with the pace of digital operations\, which means frontline knowledge and skills quickly become irrelevant or obsolete and employees fall behind. \nJoin Carol Leaman (CEO of Axonify) on Thursday\, June 13th from 2 – 3 pm EDT as she discusses how leading manufacturers are adopting a smarter\, modern approach to training to drive operational excellence through their people. She will also explore how: \n\nEngaging your frontline with adaptive and personalized training drives improvements in quality\, productivity and performance\nMicrolearning enables you to make data-based training decisions that drive the right behaviors and positively impact business performance\nOrganizations are using microlearning in the real world to drive operational excellence\n\nSpeaker \nCarol Leaman\, CEO\, Axonify \nCarol Leaman is an award-winning thought leader with an impressive track record of successfully leading tech companies. Not only is she a disruptor in the corporate learning space\, but she’s also the brains behind the Axonify Microlearning Platform. Prior to Axonify\, Carol was the CEO of PostRank Inc.\, a social engagement analytics platform she sold to Google. She was also the CEO at several other technology firms\, including RSS Solutions and Fakespace Systems. \nCarol is a celebrated entrepreneur and trailblazer (Sarah Kirke Award 2010\, Waterloo Region Entrepreneur Hall of Fame Intrepid Award 2011 and the Profit500 Award for Canada’s Leading Female Entrepreneur 2017) whose articles appear in leading learning\, business and technology publications. She also sits on the boards of many organizations and advises a variety of Canadian high-tech firms. \n \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Informa’s Terms of Service and to Informa’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Informa\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Informa’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Managing Exposure Risks with Innovative Technology: Answering Questions You Were Too Afraid To Ask
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintOrganizations like yours employ EHS professionals to help keep front-line employees safe from harmful workplace exposure. But to do this successfully\, you need to accurately identify hazards that put your employees at risk.  With technology\, instead of having a few EHS professionals identifying hazards and managing risk for thousands of employees\, companies can turn to their employees for help. As your first line of defense and best access to hazards and potential risk visibility\, your employees should be empowered to help your EHS professionals source exposure hazards across your company. With recent advancements\, you can now make that process much easier than ever before. \nDuring this webinar\, you will learn how to: \n\nImplement different methods for your front-line employees to report exposure risks\nEmpower employees with innovative technology like wearables\, IoT\, big data\, and more\nElevate exposure risk management as a key pillar in holistic employee well-being\n\nSponsored by \n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Informa’s Terms of Service and to Informa’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Informa\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Informa’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:The Economic and Strategic Benefits of Cloud ERP
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintBased on research from Computer Economics\, organizations that have fully or largely migrated their ERP and other solutions to the cloud spend less on IT as a percentage of revenue and on a per-user basis. Savings come not only from a reduction in data center spending but also from lower IT personnel costs. Moreover\, because cloud-based systems reduce the effort needed for ongoing support\, cloud users are able to devote a higher percentage of their IT spending to new initiatives. The cost savings\, combined with strategic benefits in speed\, scalability\, and agility\, argue in favor of organizations moving aggressively to the cloud. This presentation will summarize these research findings. \nJoin Frank Scavo of Computer Economics\, an independent IT research firm\, as he explores the economic and strategic benefits of cloud computing with an emphasis on Cloud ERP. \nAttendees will learn: \n\nBenchmarks showing the cost savings that organizations typically achieve when migrating to cloud systems\nThe strategic benefits that companies gain with Cloud ERP in addition to the cost benefits\nPractical recommendations to ensure the realization of benefits in migrating to Cloud ERP\n\nEveryone that attends the live webinar on June 27 will receive the Computer Economics Research Report\, “The Economic and Strategic Benefits of Cloud Computing” (retails for $995 on Computer Economics). \nSpeakers \nFrank Scavo\, President\, Computer Economics \nFrank Scavo is the President of Computer Economics\, an IT research firm based in Irvine\, CA\, where he covers the enterprise software industry.

SUMMARY:4IR from Buzzword to Reality: Smart Factory Adoption Rates - Best Practices and Leading Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintCompanies are making progress in implementing new technologies\, but scaling and linking investment to value remains a work in progress. \nThe Fourth Industrial Revolution – 4IR – has been met with both enthusiasm and fence-sitting. While sentiments and experiences have been mixed\, most business leaders are now approaching 4IR with a sense of measured optimism. While they recognize the potential business value advanced manufacturing technologies can present—particularly cloud computing\, advanced analytics\, robotics\, the industrial internet of things (IIoT)\, 3D printing\, virtual and augmented reality—they are still deliberating how and where to invest and balancing the hype with their own level of preparedness. Meanwhile\, they’re also well aware of the significant changes 4IR will bring to a new manufacturing workforce—one that is increasingly becoming a hybrid of human and machine. \nThere is little doubt that 4IR adoption has hit the tipping point\, despite the fact that today only around 20% of companies are implementing smart factory technologies at scale. Momentum is building\, however\, as evidenced by the fact that 73% of manufacturers are planning to increase their investment in smart factory technology over the next year and 70% citing adopting an IoT strategy as being moderately to extremely critical. IoT and robotics have made the most inroads\, with 80% of manufacturers planning to deploy sensors in operations over the next three years and 65% saying they’ve deployed applied robotics in their operations over the past three years. \nAbout the 4IR survey \nPwC and The Manufacturing Institute (the workforce and thought leadership arm of the National Association of Manufacturers)\, surveyed approximately 100 US-based manufacturers. Looking at the results\, we see a definitive—and\, indeed\, inevitable—shift to 4IR as companies seek to integrate new technologies into their operations\, supply chain and product portfolio. However\, these companies acknowledge that scaling\, justifying 4IR investments and dealing with uncertainty surrounding use cases and applications present a new set of challenges. \nJoin us to explore the survey findings and PwC’s recommendations. Here’s a sneak preview: \n\nWhile the sector as a whole is making assertive forays into 4IR\, many manufacturers still inhabit the awareness and pilot phase. Nearly half of manufacturers surveyed reported that they are in the early stages of a smart factory transition (awareness\, experimental and early adoption phases). The majority of those that have implemented smart factory use cases consider a quarter to be a success.\nManufacturers expect the transition to accelerate in the coming years—73% are planning to increase their investment in smart factory technology over the next year.\nWhile we see a number of fence-sitters\, the bulk of manufacturers are indeed prioritizing 4IR\, the digital ecosystem and emerging technologies. 35% of survey respondents says they have deployed advanced analytics in their operations and 34% have deployed it in their supply chain.\nAbout 70% of manufacturers say the biggest impacts of robotics on the workforce in the next five years will be an increased need for talent to manage the robotics workplace and the opening of new jobs to engineer robotics and their operating systems.\n\n \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Informa’s Terms of Service and to Informa’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Informa\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Informa’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:What Really Happens During an OSHA Inspection
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintDuring this lively webinar presentation\, you’ll hear about some of the biggest mistakes made by an employer\, managers\, supervisors and other company representatives during an OSHA inspection. For instance\, you do have the right to set the ground rules for any inspection\, but it’s probably not in your best interest to demand a search warrant before allowing an inspection. \nIf safety leaders have an understanding of what their company’s rights are during an OSHA inspection\, they’ll be more effective in defending OSHA citations and protecting workers. This webinar will discuss OSHA inspections\, including the government’s tactics during inspections\, including walkarounds\, witness interviews\, and document requests\, and employers’ rights. You’ll learn how to act\, how to react\, and how to be proactive before OSHA even arrives. \nAfter attending this webinar\, attendees will: \n\nThe tactics used by OSHA to get the citations they are seeking.\nWhat your rights are when it comes to OSHA inspectors coming onto your property and into your facility.\nKnow how to respond to an accident to prepare for an OSHA inspection and third-party claim.\nHave a plan in place to prepare for an OSHA inspection.\nUnderstand the ramifications of issues\, including matters relating to employee testimony\, arising during an OSHA inspection.\nBe able to put procedures in place to enhance employee safety.\n\nSpeaker \nTravis Vance\, Partner\, Fisher Phillips \nTravis Vance is a partner in the firm’s Charlotte office. He has tried matters across several industries and various subject matters\, including employment litigation\, business disputes and matters prosecuted by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Travis has emerged as a thought leader in the field of workplace safety.
