Front Office Forgetfulness?

Businesses implementing lean manufacturing all too often bypass the front office and target only their back-office manufacturing processes. After all, front offices have paperwork, not inventory, right?

This educational business session will highlight the importance of front-office functions like order entry, quoting, scheduling, design and engineering as opportunities for streamlining and automating business processes.

The session will also address these front-office processes as a means to create a leaner environment, thus:

•Eliminating waste
•Increasing profits in your business
•Accelerating operational excellence.

National Manufacturing Week is where engineers and executives from manufacturers of all sizes and from every industry sector meet to fuel their INNOVATION, PRODUCTIVITY and GROWTH.
