SUMMARY:Webinar: The Servitization Revolution in Industrial Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintEngineering & Manufacturing (E&M) companies are advancing their business models to focus more on providing services and capability to their customers\, a practice known as “servitization.” As core markets are becoming increasingly saturated\, and product margins are under pressure\, companies are aligning their supply chain strategies to meet their customers’ heightened expectations. \nService type activities already make up from one-third to more than one-half of manufacturing employment in some industries. And in today’s marketplace\, more and more companies are offering after-market services or complete solutions that are closely coupled to the manufacturer’s products. \nWhile having a digital strategy is important for any manufacturer today\, that’s only half the story. There is a huge shift towards the consumption of services over the consumption of products\, and it’s this combination of digital pressures and demand for services that is bringing about a revolution in industrial manufacturing. \nDHL’s Engineering & Manufacturing sector and The Advanced Services Group have created a white paper series focused on this shift in business models\, and in this webinar you’ll hear from several experts who will discuss servitization in the context of value networks as well as supply chain strategies and its impact on E&M industries. You’ll also hear a best practice case study that will shine a light on the transformational change process – from strategy articulation to process definition and decision enablement. \nSpeakers \nReg Kenney\, President\, Global Engineering and Manufacturing\, DHL\, Customer Solutions & Innovation \nInvolved in the logistics and transportation industry for 40 years\, Reg Kenney is President of DHL’s Global E&M Sector and Head of DHL’s Customer Solutions & Innovation\, Americas Region\, based in Plantation\, Florida. \nRoles prior to this included Executive VP\, DHL Global Customer Solutions\, Americas Region and – with Air Canada Cargo for 20 years – a variety of executive-level assignments including Director of Sales\, GM of Western North America\, and GM of System Operations. Reg has been a member of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals since 1999. \nTim Baines\, Professor and Executive Director\, The Advanced Services Group\, Aston Business School \nTim is the leading international authority on servitization and spends much of his time working hands-on with both global and local manufacturing companies to understand servitization in practice and help to transform businesses. \nHe spent ten years working in manufacturing businesses\, beginning his career as an apprentice. His background gives him a personal understanding of the challenges faced by the industry and of the need for practical\, relevant guidance on implementing change strategies. \nHis book Made to Serve: How manufacturers can compete through servitization and product service systems described as\, ‘Essential reading for any companies or executives looking to explore this option for their business’ provides a practical guide to servitization\, based on in-depth research with leading corporations such as Xerox\, Caterpillar\, Alstom and MAN Truck & Bus UK. \nJim Euchner\, Honorary Professor\, Aston Business School\, Former VP for Global Innovation\, Goodyear \nJim Euchner is an Honorary Professor at Aston Business School and the Editor in Chief of Research-Technology Management\, a peer-reviewed journal for practitioners of innovation\, technology and research management.

SUMMARY:Webinar: How Changes in DFARS Cybersecurity Enforcement Can Impact Your DoD Business
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintDoD contractors have been required by the 7012 DFARS contract clause to have “adequate security” in place by 1/1/18 relying upon the 110 NIST SP 800-171 safeguards.  Initially\, DoD advised that companies could consider themselves to be in compliance if they prepared a System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM). These remain core requirements — but minimal compliance will not be enough. DoD is moving towards a more aggressive approach to assure that its contractors in fact have implemented adequate security measures. \nSoon\, DoD requiring activities\, contracting officers and oversight personnel will be asking to review defense contractor SSPs and POAMS as part of the procurement process. We can expect DoD to establish means to assess contractor security – almost certainly relying upon the new NIST SP 800-171A “Assessing Security” guide.  Companies may find themselves ineligible for new procurements if their security is found inadequate. New solicitations will include assessed cyber security as an evaluation factor and therefore a discriminator in future contract awards.  What this means is that changing DoD practices will have significant impact on a company’s ability to win and perform work on Government contracts. There will be increased attention to security at all levels of the supply chain and we can expect the Government to hold Primes responsible to assure the compliance of their suppliers. These changes reflect an emerging recognition within the Pentagon\, that adversaries continue to successfully exploit cyber vulnerabilities of the U.S. industrial base\, and a new determination to take stronger measures to protect critical technologies. DoD leadership will seek to reward companies with superior security as well as enforce existing cybersecurity regulations. \nIn this webinar from the Cyber Collaboration Center\, DFARS / NIST cybersecurity experts from eResilience are teaming up with leading industry analyst\, author\, and legal counsel Robert Metzger to provide updates on new DoD-wide initiatives\, changing defense procurement policies\, and what lies ahead for contractors in Government oversight and assessment. Topics to be covered include DoD’s newly announced “Deliver Uncompromised” initiative\, how DoD is to value and assign priority rankings to the 110 NIST 800-171 security requirements; where to expect new cyber measures in solicitations and competitive selection; supply chain cyber risk management challenges; and the establishment of Security as a “Fourth Pillar” in defense acquisition equal in priority to Cost\, Schedule and Performance. In this webinar\, eResilience subject matter experts will discuss challenges facing defense contractors including the importance of supply-chain cyber risk management (SCRM)\, and Bob Metzger will share his insight on cyber and supply chain security trends.  Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from some of the industry’s top technical and legal experts. \nSpeaker: Robert Metzger \nBob Metzger is one of the top rated defense contract law experts in the country. Named a 2016 ” Federal 100 ” awardee\, Federal Computer Week cited Bob for his “ability to integrate policy\, regulation and technology.” Chambers USA (2018) ranks Bob among top government contracts lawyers and said that “[h]e is particularly noted for his expertise in cyber and supply chain security with clients regarding him as the ‘preeminent expert in cybersecurity regulations and how they affect government contractors.'” He was a member of the task force that produced the 2017 Defense Science Board Cyber Supply Chain Study. Bob is a frequent contributor to defense industry publications\, and a consistent advocate for improvement of the nation’s cyber defenses. \nWho Should Attend: \nDefense Contractors & their Executives\, Contract Managers\, Program Managers\, IT Managers & FSOs \nRegister \nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:Webinar: Robot Ready-Adopting a New Generation of Industrial Robots
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintIn industrial manufacturing\, robots are shedding their cages\, where they have toiled for decades\, and now collaborate shoulder-to-shoulder with their human co-workers. They’re working on dangerous and onerous industrial tasks\, while also carrying out other tasks of great dexterity and precision such as soldering microchips. As robots take on more\, and promise more – and as adoption costs continue to decline – a wealth of options for manufacturers are opening that did not exist even a few years ago. \nA perfect storm of factors favor robot investment in 2018 and 2019 \nWhile robots have been edging into human work at a rapid pace for some time\, 2018 seems to present an inflection point on even wider adoption. A number of trends are begging the industrial sector to take a closer look at robot adoption\, including greater pressures to customize products\, rising global competitiveness\, and a tightening industrial labor force. Another trigger is the 2017 overhaul of the US tax code\, which frees up cash for manufacturers that could be earmarked for automation technology. \nStrategies around robotics integration \nAny new manufacturing technology requires a well-informed and scalable strategy. Industrial automation can be a considerable investment. Based on PwC’s experience in working with manufacturers integrating robotics automation\, there are three main areas new adopters (and those expanding their current adoption) would do well to think through before committing to investments in time and capital: \n\nBuild a no-surprises business case. It is critical to make a clear\, fact-based assessment of total costs of automating compared to not automating. Consider the increase of benefits (cost savings from higher productivity\, reduced waste\, etc.) net the cost of the robots. During the webinar\, we will offer some foundational questions to address to help you achieve an accurate ROI. \nKnow your automation know-how. You must assess your in-house experience with automated systems to determine what might need to be outsourced. During the webinar\, we will identify the areas of skill you should assess. \nChoose the right robotics technology for the right job. This starts with identifying what can be automated…and why. During the webinar\, we will review the taxonomy of robotics technology: what they are\, what they do\, and where they work. \n\nRobotics and its role in the factory of the future \nManufacturers are finding value not only in the instrumentation of machines on the shop floor\, but also from data captured in other parts of the operations\, including materials\, parts\, labor and workflow records. Such data\, when aggregated with other data (customer\, financial\, environment\, etc.) can serve as the basis for insights and actions. \nDuring the webinar\, we will walk through the ways new adopters can systematically build robotics into the fabric of operations to capture valuable data\, and always with an eye to the digital future. \nSpeakers \nSteve Pillsbury\, PwC Principal\, Digital Operations Leader \nSteve is the digital operations leader at PwC\, leading operations and strategy engagements for manufacturers. His team helps manufacturers define and execute strategies to modernize their operations through digital/IIoT enablement\, including digital factories\, connected supply chains\, new manufacturing methods\, connected field services\, and the full digitization of product development. Steve has worked with IIoT sellers to help them develop innovations that address the outcomes manufacturers seek\, and has worked with IIoT buyers to help them define the art of the possible and incorporate digital capabilities into their operations. \nTom Foth\, Director\, Emerging Technology Labs at PwC \nEmerging technologies have become a critical factor of PwC’s most successful clients’ strategic portfolios\, providing large opportunities in business growth\, performance\, and game-changing disruption. Tom leads PwC’s Emerging Technology Labs. He is a technologist and innovator with 46 patents. \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:Webinar: How to Identify Combustible Dust Hazards
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintCombustible Dust poses one of the highest safety risks to a surprising variety of industries; some of whom do not realize that their processes and materials generate combustible dust – dust that could trigger a deadly explosion or costly six-figure OSHA fines. Some studies have claimed that the average cost of abating Combustible dust violations after an inspection approaches one million dollars. Industries\, such as food\, wood\, chemical\, plastics\, and metals are regularly affected\, but if you have bag houses and dust collectors\, you may be affected.  \nIn this session\, we will discuss the basic process of combustible dust explosions and deflagrations\, legal issues\, common OSHA errors\, and the roles of counsel and experts with practical workplace experience. We will discuss how experts and attorneys sift through the multiple applicable consensus standards\, and state and local ordinances to come up with the best approach; often less costly than first anticipated.  \nThe often neglected and misapplied first step is to conduct a dust hazard analysis or Process Hazard Analysis. This webinar will provide viewers with a guide to identifying combustible dust hazards\, as well as touching upon the principles of dust clouds and ignitable atmospheres\, mechanics of dust flash fires and explosions and how to analyze processes and buildings to determine where dust fire and explosion hazards may exist\, and ways to mitigate hazards. \nSpeaker \nHoward Mavity\, Partner\, Fisher Phillips LLP \nHoward Mavity is a partner in the firm’s Atlanta office. He founded and co-chairs the firm’s Workplace Safety and Catastrophe Management Practice Group. He draws upon his past business experience in transportation\, logistics\, construction\, and industrial supply to work with clients as a business partner\, and focuses on eliminating employee problems by commonsense management. Howard has provided counsel for over 225 occasions of union activity\, guided unionized companies\, and has managed approximately 550 OSHA fatality cases in construction and general industry\, ranging from dust explosions to building collapses\, in virtually every state. He has coordinated complex inspections involving multi-employer sites\, corporate-wide compliance\, and issues involving criminal referral.
