Sustainability Workshop - Stevenage Time: 10am-4pm Organisers: FIRA Date: 25 Nov 2008
ukfirst provides the solutions to material waste
Ukfirst Master Engineer Bruce Lovell led two workshops at the event, giving delegates practical advice on material waste reduction and encouraging them to work together in problem solving activities. The workshops received positive feedback from delegates who found the exercises useful in gaining a different perspective on their own organisations.
The three ukfirst training programmes all focus on helping improve the efficiency of material use. First steps to success is aimed at any business that wants to tackle a material waste through a one day diagnostic review; Snapshot material solutions uses a focused, hands on approach on a particular material issue, and Materials Masterclass is a complete improvement programme specifically focused on increasing the performance of material conversion.
“Material waste reduction is a key issue facing manufacturers today, and these new programmes can help companies significantly improve their material usage and improve their overall profitability,” said Bruce Lovell.
