Why You Should Attend Manufacturing Excellence 2016

Australia's manufacturing competitiveness ranking has declined from 16th to 21st position since 2013, according to the 2016 Global Manufacturing Competitive Index report from Deloitte Global and the US Council on Competitiveness. Profitability within manufacturing industry has declined markedly over the past a number of years. Soaring labour costs, changing market dynamics, more scrutinised regulatory requirements, and Australian dollar volatility have all resulted in it.

The Manufacturing Excellence 2016 conference is designed to help practitioners to achieve their goals. This two day event will be packed with discussions of a broad range of industry-relevant topics as well as deliberations on best practices going forward. If you wish to learn and benchmark with some of the most successful industry players on building an organisational system and culture towards Continuous Improvement (CI) and Manufacturing Excellence (MEX); enabling Lean transformation for higher productivity with lower cost; embracing smart manufacturing technologies and data analytics for performance optimisation, this is the event you cannot miss!

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
