2008 Operations Performance Summit

The 2008 Summit included a lineup of seasoned executives who shared their experience, and a format designed to stimulate an exchange of learning and ideas among all delegates and featured speakers. Regardless of participants' objectives and initiatives – Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or Total Productive Maintenance, for bottom line savings, quality improvement or top-line revenue contribution – the event armed delegates with fresh ideas, and more importantly, execution plans for their own business. The Operations Performance Summit is a testament to pragmatic approaches in the quest for operational excellence. In this, we reject theory that cannot be executed.

"Very well done & quite informative."
—Americhem

"An enjoyable and educational experience; very good to interact with people tackling similar activities."
—Evonik

2008 Solutions2.0 by ReliabilityWeb.com

Due to overwhelming demand for the Operations Performance Summit in 2008, Informance has partnered with ReliabilityWeb to co-host "OPS'09" together with Solutions2.0, a reliability and operations education summit for manufacturing and organizational performance. The Solutions2.0 conference is the premier educational conference for the manufacturing community, with a history of serving up to 1500 delegates annually. For the 2009 event, we have expanded the breadth of educational offerings with an added focus on manufacturing operations performance. Solutions2.0 is a unique event because it blends a variety of disciplines across maintenance, predictive maintenance, lubrication and operations performance, giving manufacturing executives and practitioners an opportunity to stay current across a variety of topics and issues.
