The Manufacturing Management Show will open its doors on 23-24 November 2016 at the Jaguar Exhibition Halls, Ricoh Arena, Coventry.
Ed Tranter, executive director at Findlay Media, said: “The job of the manufacturing manager has evolved; it is no longer purely concerned with output numbers. Today’s manager has to be a bit of a superhero, juggling health and safety, IT, maintenance, materials handling and skills training, all with a focus on continuous improvement.”
Independent market research among more than 150 UK manufacturing decision makers showed an overwhelming 71% felt there was a need for a multi-topic manufacturing show. A further 80% said a lack of time was the biggest barrier to them attending industry events. “The Manufacturing Management Show will address all these needs in one exciting, time efficient focused event,” Tranter added.
The Manufacturing Management Show will combine keynote conference sessions with hands-on workshops and an exhibition featuring market-leading suppliers.
The conference will bring together Britain’s biggest manufacturing players alongside leading industry associations and government officials to debate subjects including strategies for rebalancing the economy back towards manufacturing, best practice hints and tips as well as providing hands-on advice on business issues like continuous improvement, maintenance, people management and safety.
The conference sessions will offer a rich stream of business case studies, providing delegates with a unique opportunity to learn how to overcome top production challenges from their peers.
Colin Boughton, European operations director, Fujifilm, said: “The beauty of the MMS show is you are going to get a concentrated hit on all aspects of running a manufacturing site... The MMS Show will be an incredibly efficient way of spending your time – in manufacturing terms it’s very lean.”
Headline sponsors include Brammer/Buck & Hickman, RS Components and Toyota Material Handling UK. Tony Wallis, commercial director for Toyota, commented: “With a breadth of management responsibility, the Manufacturing Management Show will provide managers with the opportunity to meet companies who can support them in materials handling, health and safety and maintenance. We believe it will provide a great opportunity for Toyota Material Handling to display our trucks, but also talk to managers about how we can support them.”
The show will also be supported by Arco and 123 Insight.
