Organizations 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.

During this webinar, you will learn how to:

• Implement different methods for your front-line employees to report exposure risks
• Empower employees with innovative technology like wearables, IoT, big data, and more
• Elevate exposure risk management as a key pillar in holistic employee well-being

As a manufacturing organization grows and changes it becomes increasingly difficult to implement business process standards, support quality and consistency, and provide visibility to business leaders who have become removed from the day-to-day operations. Further, a collection of legacy, siloed, customized, out of date solutions leads to redundant, inaccurate data, extra work, and an inability to stay up-to-date on current versions. This scenario will keep your business from achieving its goals, as well as lock your business out from utilizing emerging technologies such as analytics, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things, which are essential for success in the modern manufacturing environment.

You are invited to a webinar on May 30th at 2:00 PM EST, featuring Infor’s Director of Industry and Solution Strategy, Nick Castellina, and Mike Kalinowski, Infor OS Product Manager, to learn about how your business can reduce complexity and differentiate itself in Industry 4.0.

• The biggest issues that manufacturers face as they grow
• Tips for connecting business leaders with relevant information
• Strategies for improving workforce productivity
• How to build a digital foundation for reducing complexity

“If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you’re doing.” ― W. Edwards Deming

In 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:

• Cause/Incident Mapping
• Fishbone or Ishikawa Diagrams
• Fault Tree Analysis

The 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.

Employee 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.

This presentation will focus on six topics that often cause problems even when employers do provide training. They include:

• Hazard Communication, which consistently appears in OSHA’s top 10 list of most-violated regulations;
• Powered Industrial Trucks, another in OSHA’s top 10 list, where training includes operator evaluations;
• Active Shooter/Bullying, which is not required by law, but bullying occurs in nearly every workplace, and preventing violence should be an employer priority;
• Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), also in the top 10 violations list, which creates the potential for serious injuries and fatalities;
• Bloodborne Pathogens, which impacts many employers – any company with designated first aid responders must provide this training annually; and
• Sexual Harassment, which many employers provide to new hires — but the continued prevalence in workplaces suggests that training could be more effective.

“The manufacturers who will succeed are not the ones who work harder, but the ones whose frontlines can learn faster and work smarter.”

In 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.

The 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.

Join Carol Leaman (CEO of Axonify) on Thursday, June 13^th 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:

• Engaging your frontline with adaptive and personalized training drives improvements in quality, productivity and performance
• Microlearning enables you to make data-based training decisions that drive the right behaviors and positively impact business performance
• Organizations are using microlearning in the real world to drive operational excellence

Manufacturers today are under intense pressure to accelerate innovation to maintain an edge in competitive global markets. But with limited visibility into operations and inconsistent data from disparate IT and OT systems that vary from plant to plant, uncovering best practices and determining where to invest is difficult.

Session Takeaways:

• Review key research findings from 2019 State of the Market report on plant benchmarking
• Learn how industrial IoT standardizes and normalizes KPIs enabling confident, data-driven decision-making
• Hear how manufacturers are seeing value with case studies and ROI analysis
