The impact of innovative production may be dramatic, a critical edge in the cut-throat climate of modern competition where efficient shipping, and global village mentality renders far away manufacturers into survival-level competitors.

This one-day seminar will introduce the emerging tools, the prevailing methods, and the re-thinking that are used by innovative manufacturers and far-thinking producers, exploiting the economic potential of production innovation.
