Businesses today operate in a fiercely competitive environment. If companies are to survive and flourish, they need to focus continually on ways to add value, improve performance and increase profitability. The manufacturing summit focuses on sharing best practices observed during the assessment of facilities for India Manufacturing Excellence Awards 2008. This seminar provides a platform to the manufacturing heads to share their best practices with others to learn and grow. Companies can benchmark their practices with these world class companies, identify the areas of improvement and examine some of the issues that might be blocking progress and delivery of sustained improvement. This will be illustrated by a number of real life case studies and presentations from the organizations that have managed to change what they do and are achieving some remarkable results as a consequence.
