Re-establishing Manufacturing Controls After the Pandemic Shutdown

Key Take-Away:
Manufacturing through such problems as the pandemic requires close control if success is to be maintained and reached. There are proven strategies for establishing inventory controls that improve quality and reduce labor and other overhead manufacturing costs.

Overview:
Good manufacturing controls have been around for many years. They have helped companies go through the point in their growth cycle when the initial fly-by-night system they struggled to put in place as a young company no longer satisfies demands or schedules. The changes required to move from batch processing and other manufacturing models to a more efficient customer-oriented model are generally established when companies hit the wall in terms of continually trying to balance demand and output capabilities.

Why Should You Attend:
During the pandemic months, companies have struggled with a completely new set of manufacturing problems. Many manufacturing companies have lost key employees and systems have been disrupted to the point that great imbalances have occurred.
This webinar is designed to help new and returning employees get a comprehensive but quick review of the manufacturing control concepts needed to reestablish lost controls.
