Manufacturing Teams Benefit From Lean Prices

In a week-long conference, foremost practitioners and researchers, and the leaders of some of the world's best companies share the keys, pitfalls, and the highlights of their visual-lean journey.

Manufacturers will receive a 10% discount off of their conference registration when they send a team of three or more to the First International Conference and Symposium on The Visual Enterprise - The Lean Enterprise.

The conference will take place 8-12 September 2003 in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Quality Methods International (QMI) is offering the discount because they recognize the value of teams in creating a lean manufacturing enterprise.

"The more people who understand the value of a visual workplace in a factory, and can implement its tools and techniques, the greater that factory's success rate of creating their own visual workplace and realizing the outstanding benefits it provides," said Dr Gwendolyn Galsworth, founder and president of QMI.

"These benefits include reduced search time, reduced lead time, improved quality, increased floor space, and higher worker morale and enthusiasm.

A visual workplace is a work environment where the flow of material, information and people accelerates and de-accelerates at will, calibrated by visual solutions that tell precisely where things are, what needs to be done, by when, in what quantity, by whom, and how.

In this week-long conference, foremost practitioners and researchers, and the leaders of some of the world's best companies share the keys, pitfalls, and the highlights of their visual-lean journey.

Conference attendees will be able to choose from plant tours of Scania Trucks and Royal Nooteboom Trailers, case study presentations by Rolls Royce and Lockheed Martin, and much more.

Anyone who would like to send a team to this year's Visual-Lean Enterprise Conference can register by calling +31 (0) 346.263.851 or register online at www.visualworkplace.com.
