SUMMARY:Selling Value in Uncharted Waters
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintHow to compete against the competition\, which might have a lower price\, without giving up on your price. \nAt this session\, we will dive into the aspects of: \n\nWhat it really means to sell value– whose definition of value really matters? Not yours! Unless we can have our prospects define what value means to them\, our definition is worthless. What do they do to hide this?\nWhat it really takes to sell Value – it takes a selling process that is geared to uncover the value as defined by our prospects. Many salespeople push their view of the value they bring and it is a total disconnect. We must have a disciplined process that allows us to get there.\nWhat skills we need to really sell our value – we need the Value Seller Competencies all the time\, but now they are simply vital. You’ll be surprised at what these are.\n\nThe goal of this session is for us evaluate what we each must do\, right now\, to fill our sales pipeline with qualified opportunities\, or at least the beginning stage of some qualified opportunities. As things open up\, we need to be prepared for: \n\n\n\nStrong price pressure – “We need to cut costs.”\nResistance to meet in person – “We’re not seeing anyone yet.”\nPut Offs – “That project has been pushed back.”\n\n\n\nClick here to Register! \nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:How COVID-19 Will Trigger Global Supply Chain Realignment… and What To Do About It
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe Sequential Consequences of China Ripple Effects from Coronavirus \nIMC sister-center Catalyst Connection is hosting this webinar that will explore the ramifications of the COVID-19 virus\, starting with the initial impact at the center of the virus in China\, then in terms of the short-term effects on business and finally the long-term impact on trade and global supply chains. This webinar will demonstrate how a cascading effect starting in China will magnify several existing critical macro-trends within China that will ripple outwards and dramatically affect supply\, revenue\, earnings and market share of a significant range of global companies. \nEven if businesses do no commerce with China at all\, the widespread and pervasive effects of these trends will still reach them and influence prospects for survival and growth\, alike. This one-hour webinar will examine these effects and how the downstream results will dramatically change global supply chain and pose serious challenges for US businesses unprepared for this adjustment: \n\nSupply chain disruption\nShipping and transportation problems\nWork force concerns\nReductions in quality & productivity\nCapital & liquidity issues\nProduction relocation & global supply chain realignment\n\nFinally\, you will learn about a series of detailed recommendations to help businesses affected by this cataclysmic change come out of this stronger than ever.   \nPresenters: \nDavid Iwinski Jr. CEO – Blue Water Growth LLC Pittsburgh \nMr. Iwinski is the Managing Director of Blue Water Growth\, a global business consulting firm with extensive on-the-ground experience and expertise in Asia. Its services include merger and acquisition guidance\, private capital solutions\, product distribution\, production outsourcing\, and a wide variety of business advisory services for its Western and Asian clients. \n  \nDennis Unkovic\, Esq.

SUMMARY:Why Root Cause Analysis is the Cornerstone of Asset Performance Management
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintPhysical assets are capital intensive and for many organizations are considered to be the life blood of their business.  No enterprise can expect to achieve peak performance unless these assets reliably perform at optimal levels.  To achieve operational excellence your overall Asset Performance Management (APM) strategy needs to be proactive and effective. Many asset-intensive organizations continue to use break-fix maintenance plans to manage their production assets. Not only does this reactive approach increase cost through increased downtime and lost production\, but unplanned shutdowns or failures can lead to environmental health and safety incidents. Good APM has been proven to reduce unplanned downtime\, increase asset availability\, decrease maintenance costs\, and reduce the risk of failure for assets that are most critical to operations. \nBy including proactive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) as a core component of your APM strategy\, you can improve: \n\nAvailability – Assets are consistently available to perform\nReliability – Assets perform their intended function consstently avoiding any operational interruption\n\nThis webinar will address the core components of (APM) and how an effective RCA process will support increased asset performance and cost control. \nAt the end of this webinar you will: \n\nRecognize the typical pitfalls/barriers/deficiencies in APM programs\nUnderstand how KT Proactive RCA Tools address these typical pitfalls\nLearn how to build a Collaborative Culture of Continuous Improvement\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:Why Ergonomics? Communicating & Demonstrating the Value to Business Stakeholders
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintSafety and human resources professionals appreciate the value of ergonomics. They understand that ergonomics improves employee well-being and leads to reductions in causal absenteeism\, recordable injuries\, lost-time cases\, and workers’ compensation costs\, among others. However\, other business stakeholders\, such as plant leadership\, quality\, operations\, manufacturing\, boards of directors\, and investors often overlook and underappreciate that ergonomics can improve business performance. This webinar will demonstrate how to communicate the value of an ergonomics process to business stakeholders and generate additional support for your ergonomics efforts. In addition\, methods to project the financial impact of ergonomics interventions will be introduced. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nHow to communicate the value of ergonomics in a language (and metrics) that business stakeholders understand\nHow to develop a business case for initiating and deploying a sustainable process\nHow to project the financial benefit of ergonomics with a risk-based ROI calculator\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:From Challenge to Challenger: Your Path to Additive Manufacturing Success
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintHow can your organization approach additive manufacturing (AM) in the best way possible? The simplest answer is to embrace AM as a massive opportunity for growth instead of a challenge that needs to be addressed. \nAfter all\, the goal of any AM initiative shouldn’t be to “catch up” to competitors that may already be using AM. The goal is to become an innovator in your space — the leader that your competitors are scrambling after. Getting there involves overcoming the challenges that practically every organization faces at the outset of their AM journey. This webinar will explain how to work past those roadblocks\, how to explore the full potential of AM from the ground up\, and how to become a true innovator in your industry. \nThe first step requires looking inward at your organization. It involves an end-to-end rethinking of your design process\, your manufacturing philosophy\, and your entire value chain. You’ll need agile teams that aren’t bound by traditional ways\, and your organization must be set up to nurture and optimize that agility. With the right organizational groundwork\, you will create new opportunities for your products and your business that will grow more powerful over time. \nIn this webinar\, we will discuss: \n\nWhy a “wait and see” approach to AM can be dangerous for your business\nHow you can begin your AM journey with low risk and minimal investment\nHow to lay the groundwork for long-term AM success\nHow modest AM projects can evolve into transformative business opportunities\nReal-world examples of the many paths you can take on your AM journey\nWhere the future of AM can take you\n\nRegister \nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:Strategies for Success in Manufacturing Software Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintOver half (50 – 70%) of ERP projects fail. Despite the high costs incurred in failure\, and the prominence of these projects\, the success rate has not improved. Why? \nSurveys and anecdotal reports consistently cite time\, budgets\, and lack of senior management involvement\, but those are external factors to the direct implementation processes which should be followed and are normally the result of insufficient information prior to commencing with the project. \nWhat elements of the project are under your immediate control and set the stage to eliminate these common failure reasons? \nThere are standard\, widely accepted processes required for a software implementation project\, including planning\, documenting\, training and testing. One critical task which is commonly not done or done poorly is a formal Business Process Review (BPR). Without  a solid BPR\, project requirements are not formally defined nor prioritized\, so the potential software features and design – which may not be related directly to your business goals — become the de facto requirements. Although the review may be done as part of the implementation project\, ultimately the BPR should be performed prior to selecting software\, so there is a basis and justification for the decision. \nJoin John Hoyt and Jane Scanlan\, co-founders of the Next Level Manufacturing Consulting Group to learn about the key elements of a great BPR that\, when done correctly\, will contribute to a higher probability of success for your project. These elements include: \n\nDocumenting standard business process functions and controls\nInterviewing key management and staff\nReviewing existing system features and related procedures\nGathering current forms and reports\nDeveloping process improvement recommendations\nDefining priorities\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Tips on Standardizing Your Manufacturing Software
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintAdvanced manufacturing thrives on seamless data flows and consistency across the operational landscape. However\, many organizations still rely on complex mixes of legacy software from multiple vendors\, which can often make easy data sharing impossible. As a result\, shops are less flexible\, less agile\, and less able to absorb change—all critical qualities to thrive in today’s manufacturing environment. \nTo combat these issues\, manufacturers are turning to standardized software configurations\, which allows them to track workflows more efficiency\, control costs more effectively\, and better streamline their operations. In this webinar\, we will examine the advantages of this strategy and how industry leaders are using it to create the seamless data flow necessary to drive advanced manufacturing. \nSpecifically\, attendees will learn: \n\nHow standardizing your manufacturing software can improve the efficiency of your processes\, replacing fragmented workflows and increasing operational agility\, to help you adapt to industry and market changes more easily.\nWhere manufacturing software automation can be maximized\, using fully integrated systems to eliminate redundancy\, and capturing and sharing best practices across your manufacturing teams to address skills gaps.\nHow manufacturing software standardization can simplify organizational overheads\, streamlining training\, support and management.\n\nSpeaker \n\n \nRob Walker\, Sr. Technical Marketing Manager\, Autodesk \nRob is a Sr. Technical Marketing Manager at Autodesk\, where he and his team are responsible for helping customers understand how they can achieve their manufacturing goals\, using the advanced manufacturing solutions that Autodesk offers.  Rob graduated from the University of Liverpool with a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and a Masters in Product Design and Management before embarking on a career with Delcam as an Applications Engineer.  Initially starting in the UK department\, he trained and supported UK customers\, before moving into an international role\, where he assisted the global network of subsidiaries and resellers in both pre and post-sales activities.  Following the acquisition of Delcam by Autodesk in 2014\, he moved to Technical Marketing\, and is now in his 17th year of service. \n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.
