Over the last 12 months, Chemicals Northwest has been running an ambitious business improvement pilot programme called ‘Process Innogateway’. With funding from the Northwest Regional Development Agency, we have been able to work with seven manufacturing sites across the region to test a methodology for assessing a company’s performance, benchmarking it against UK and world class chemical sector standards, establishing interventions for improvement and identifying shared opportunities for companies aiding each other.
This event will share best practice and learning from some of the companies involved in the programme: Akcros Chemicals, Innospec, Innovia Films, PQ Corporation, RS Clare, Springfields Fuels, and William Blythe; which range from family owned SMEs to sites with large multinational backgrounds. 12 business areas were investigated including supply chain and logistics; operational performance; process development; resource efficiency and new product development.
The results from our pilot study should be of interest to chemical sector manufacturers (senior management, operations, R&D, engineering... in fact anyone within such a business!), and organisations that provide support to the sector.
Come and hear from those involved and find out how your company can adopt some beneficial new practices.
