World Class Manufacturing Trends

This session addresses key World Class Manufacturing issues. Sales professionals must understand this new philosophy in order to act as a "manufacturing consultant" to customers. This knowledge will also increase his/her value to the customer.

Traditional U.S. batch manufacturing is compared to "Lean Manufacturing" techniques. An effort is made to make sales engineers think-through the entire "customer chain" in understanding customer needs. Since these new concepts affect the way equipment is specified and purchased the sales engineer will profit from having the "big picture". These key topics are discussed:

  • How Today’s Consumer Trends affect Manufacturers

  • Defining "Lean Manufacturing"

  • Traditional Batch Manufacturing (Push Manufacturing)

  • Case Study - "A Typical American Manufacturer"
