Reliable Manufacturing Reveals Date Of New What Tool? When? Master Class

Online, August 11, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Change management consultancy firm, Reliable Manufacturing, has announced details of its next What Tool? When? Master Class with industry experts Ron Moore and Andrew Fraser. The two-day event will be held at the Holiday Inn Runcorn, near Manchester Airport, on Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st September 2010.

There are hundreds of different improvement tools designed to enhance operational performance on the market today - Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing and Root Cause Analysis, to name but a few. With this multiplicity of methodologies available it is hardly surprising that many become bewildered when selecting the improvement tool most appropriate to their business.

This master class is designed to simplify the selection process by assessing the leading improvement methodologies and providing tips on when best to use them. During the event, delegates will have the opportunity to assess their own situations and begin the tool selection process, developing an action plan to implement their learning within their organisation.

In addition to a detailed assessment of the leading improvement tools, the master class will also educate delegates on the importance of foundational operations excellence and selecting the improvement areas which present the greatest opportunity for advancement. The issue of how to maximise benefits and make them sustainable over a longer term period will also be addressed.

"A lot of companies achieve tangible benefits using these improvement methodologies, only to find they are disappearing within a year or two," says Reliable Manufacturing Managing Director, Andrew Fraser. "Our master class teaches how to make these benefits sustainable over the long term."

The Master Class will be led by Reliable Manufacturing's Andrew Fraser and Ron Moore. Ron is one of the world's foremost authorities on manufacturing & operations excellence and is author of the books "Making Common Sense Common Practice" and "Selecting the Right Manufacturing Improvement Tools." Andrew has over thirty years experience in maintenance, operations and change management roles, and specialises in the delivery of change management projects which help clients change from reactive to proactive operating cultures.
