In today’s complex and fast-paced world, workplace safety training programs are vital for the protection and wellbeing of employees.

But, creating a culture where employees are motivated to proactively adopt safety knowledge and practices takes more than defining policies and procedures, mandatory compliance training, and employee communications.

• The importance of reinforcing and empowering a culture of safety excellence at every level
• Ways to develop the capability within the culture to identify, prioritize, and solve safety problems and challenges with microlearning
• How to maintain and continuously improve safety culture performance through ongoing employee engagement and training
• Real-world examples of how industry leaders like Merck and Walmart are using microlearning to create a culture of safety excellence

In today’s evolving and highly-competitive environment, some of the key parameters that differentiate world-class manufacturers from others are quality, cost effective, flexibility and innovation. In fact, there are three main principles, which drive World-Class Manufacturing (WCM):

• Implementation of just in time and lean management, which leads to reduction in wastage, and thereby reduction in cost
• Implementation of total quality management, which leads to reduction of defects and encourages zero tolerance towards defects
• Implementation of total preventive maintenance, which leads to any stoppage of production through mechanical failure

Join this webinar to learn from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) – one of the largest automotive manufacturers in the world – and Tarkett, a global leader in producing floor and wall coverings, along with ProcessMAP, the most trusted EHS cloud solution provider, to learn how adopting the principles of WCM drives EHS excellence.

In 2018, OSHA reported 5,147 work-related deaths in the United States.  In 2017, a study by Zappix, Inc., indicated slow customer service as the contributing factor in a $75B revenue loss.  Energy.gov states that 30% of energy used in average commercial buildings is wasted.

These seemingly disparate data points have one thing in common:  all are among the most common industry-wide business problems organizations seek to solve.  Expertise and technology are available today to help companies move forward.  The digital era is here.  But where to begin?

In this webinar, you will hear about Hitachi and Oracle’s joint approach to the Internet of Things (IoT) – asset monitoring, production monitoring, connected worker and optimized factory.  Hear how to identify a use case, which is the cornerstone of any successful IoT initiative, learn the questions to ask about capturing data, see examples of customer successes, watch a solution demo and share in a Q&A with our panel of experts.

Every company is impacted by the digital age.  In the past 15 years, 52% of Fortune 500 companies have disappeared from the list.  And it is estimated that 40% of all business will fail in the next 10 years due to digital disruption.  Let’s talk about how you begin or proceed along your path to solving business problems with IoT.
