SUMMARY:Cross-training Tips and Techniques to Attract\, Develop\, and Retain Valuable Workers
DESCRIPTION:The great resignation. Employee burnout. Boomer retirements. And the pandemic. All of these factors have created an unprecedented labor shortage that is forcing manufacturers to re-examine how they attract\, retain\, and make the most of a precious supply of talent and resources. \nYou might be trying to combat these shortages with signing bonuses\, higher pay\, and better benefits. But even then\, many employees can still migrate to the next manufacturer up the road with a better offer in hand. Many employers report that workers are gaming this incentive by sticking around just long enough to receive full signing bonuses and quitting the next day to get a another one elsewhere. Clearly you need a new way to distinguish your company when competing for new talent. \nCross-training can help by creating an unmatched work environment that offers a career path\, community\, safety\, and a sense of value and structure. Instead of competing on compensation alone\, cross-training can help you create a work environment that enables you and your employees to grow together over the long haul. \nJoin our complimentary webinar to learn: \n• The value of cross-training \n• Common barriers to successful cross-training \n• Tips & techniques for success \n• Resources to strengthen your cross-training program \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Leveraging OEE to Minimize Downtime and Maximize Performance
DESCRIPTION:From SafetyChain: \nHow can your organization implement OEE to optimize throughput and overall performance? Join this webinar to find out. \nOverall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is not just about your machines – it’s a holistic indicator of your plant’s health\, efficiency and productivity. Leading plant and operations managers live by it\, and savvy leaders leverage it as a core metric to measure throughput\, downtime\, and overall profit. \nOEE identifies the percentage of planned production time that is truly productive\, and broadcasts – loudly and clearly – which improvements to target for optimal performance. As a result\, it is often used as a benchmark to compare performance across plants\, lines\, shifts\, or SKUs. However\, OEE can also serve as a baseline for tracking waste reduction progress over time. Even the smallest gains can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost savings. Join SafetyChain and Vern Campbell\, president of Process Management Consulting\, for our upcoming webinar on how to implement OEE to maximize performance and cost savings across your organization. \nDuring the presentation\, Campbell will discuss: \n\nAn introduction to OEE\, and its impact across production and operations\nThe core benefits of leveraging OEE\, including increased savings\, minimized waste and improved performance\nAdvice on how to get started with OEE\, as well as educational resources to consult moving forward\nWhat to expect when implementing OEE\, including tips on measuring success\n\nNote: Even if you can’t make it\, register anyway\, and we’ll send the replay link. \nRegister here.
