SUMMARY:What is ISO 45001 & What Impact Will it Have on Your Business?
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintIt’s been just over a year since the international occupational health and safety (OH&S) standard\, ISO 45001\, was published. However\, for many businesses\, the effect this standard will have on their business and supply chain still remains unanswered. With the clock ticking on the 3-year transition period\, businesses need to begin taking the steps towards the new requirements now. \nThe standard\, a result of a five-year process involving more than 70 countries\, seeks to set a new benchmark in global OH&S by providing effective\, real-world solutions for worker safety.  As a relatively new global standard\, ISO 45001 will continue to shape the health and safety profession and directly impact how organizations manage health and safety\, both in and out of the workplace\, through hazard controls and risk reduction.  In other words\, ISO 45001 is here and may impact your business whether or not you adopt the new standards. \nThis webinar will provide an introduction to ISO 45001\, including discussion of: \n\nWhat ISO 45001 is and how it fits into existing OH&S standards\nDifferences between ISO 45001 and its precursor\, OHSAS 18001\nWhy ISO 45001 matters and its impact upon your business\nShould your company come into compliance\nHow your company can come into compliance\n\nSpeaker \nTravis Vance\, Partner\, Fisher Phillips \nTravis Vance is a partner in the firm’s Charlotte office.

SUMMARY:Moving Manufacturing Beyond Lean with Digitalization and IIoT
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintMany manufacturers have leaned out their processes so that the product physically flows efficiently down the line. But what about digitally? Can they look at all their data and glean insights from it? Do they digitally capture all the data they need to perform a thorough analysis to go beyond lean? According to Gartner\, the answer is no. They estimate that 70% of all the shop floor data goes unused and much of the problem is that it’s not directly usable in the paper form that it’s in or it’s trapped in the machines on the shop floor. \nAutomaTech Technical Director\, Matt Bernhard and GE Digital Senior Product Manager\, Joe Gerstl will discuss how manufacturers can surpass the performance plateaus of lean manufacturing\, by leveraging IIoT technologies such as Manufacturing Execution Systems. \nBy joining this webinar you’ll learn how leading manufacturers such as Toray Plastics\, Nestle\, and GE Aviation have embraced these powerful tools to: \n\nDeliver insights to the right people at the right time\nAdapt to meet your customer demands\nDrive short term and long term decisions around equipment\, people\, suppliers\, and more\n\nSpeakers \nMatt Bernhard\, Technical Director\, AutomaTech  \nAutomaTech Technical Director Matt Bernhard has helped leading Manufacturing & Industrial companies identify and overcome their toughest challenges for over a decade\, specializing in Process Automation\, Data Collection\, Digitization & IIoT\, and Continuous Improvement.

SUMMARY:The Top 6 Employee Training Topics: Requirements and Best Practices to Protect Employee Safety
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintEmployee training is often required by regulation but providing training in non-mandatory topics can help better protect your employees and your company’s bottom line. Your overall goal should be ensuring the safety\, welfare\, and productivity of your workers\, not merely satisfying a particular compliance obligation. All training should help employees protect themselves and avoid hazards\, so providing training in additional areas (even if not required) gives employees more information to remain safe — and helps protect your business as well. \nThis presentation will focus on six topics that often cause problems even when employers do provide training. They include: \n\nHazard Communication\, which consistently appears in OSHA’s top 10 list of most-violated regulations;\nPowered Industrial Trucks\, another in OSHA’s top 10 list\, where training includes operator evaluations;\nActive Shooter/Bullying\, which is not required by law\, but bullying occurs in nearly every workplace\, and preventing violence should be an employer priority;\nControl of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout)\, also in the top 10 violations list\, which creates the potential for serious injuries and fatalities;\nBloodborne Pathogens\, which impacts many employers – any company with designated first aid responders must provide this training annually; and\nSexual Harassment\, which many employers provide to new hires — but the continued prevalence in workplaces suggests that training could be more effective.\n\nSpeakers \nEdwin Zalewski\, Editor\, J. J. Keller & Associates\, Inc. \nEdwin Zalewski has been an editor at J. J. Keller & Associates\, Inc. since 1999. He researches and creates content for a number of workplace safety and employee-related subjects. As the Manager of the Workplace Safety & Human Resources Publishing Team\, Edwin contributes to a variety of products and delivers presentations around the country. He specializes in discrimination and harassment\, overtime\, forklift safety\, injury recordkeeping\, and many other topics. \nAnn Potratz\, Associate Editor – Human Resources Publishing\, J. J.

SUMMARY:The Critical Thinking Process and Tools that Support Root Cause Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrint“If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process\, you don’t know what you’re doing.” ― W. Edwards Deming \nIn this webinar we will review the primary tools used for finding Root Cause\, and how to use them effectively to converge on the Root Cause of a problem. We will review the philosophy of the 5 Whys and the Kepner-Tregoe (KT) principles of critical thinking. We will review the most commonly used RCA tools including: \n\nCause/Incident Mapping\nFishbone or Ishikawa Diagrams\nFault Tree Analysis\n\nThe webinar will focus on using best practices to discover the answer to the question\, “What did change”. We will demonstrate how to move beyond the philosophy of the 5 whys and to continue investigating until we get past mechanical causes to address systemic and procedural causes that contributed to the choice which started the causal chain. Many iterations of RCA may be necessary to explain a series of true causes before we get to root cause. \nSpeakers \nMichael Curran-Hays \nA professional who works closely with his clients to achieve Operational and Service Excellence in regulated industries\, Michael provides executive leadership across Kepner-Tregoe’s (KT) full range of services including directing industry-specific\, integrated teams on a wide range of projects.

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.

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.
