It’s been a couple weeks since the Associated Packaging Inc. Team converged on Tucson, AZ for our NSM! In addition to our team, the best packaging manufacturing companies in the world were in attendance. I think it’s fair to say that there was a “Brain Trust” that took place in the desert! The images explain the metaphorsis affect that “AMP” (Associated Managed Packaging) is having on our sales team, we’re being transformed from a mild mannered sales team to Packaging Continuous Improvement Super Heroes! Helping our customers coast to coast take their packaging programs to the next level! #packaging #continuous Improvement

If your life sciences manufacturing operation has problems, please call me; I and my team can and do fix those problems whether they are quality, technical, operational, compliance, cultural or all of the above. I have helped fix QMS and manufacturing operations subject to 3 FDA Consent Decrees, 8 Warning Letters, and many 483’s, so we definitely have the experience to help you too. Example 2: excellent solutions CAN be cheap if you know what you’re doing. Problem: a critical test instrument (a calorimeter) was giving dubious results because of an unstable baseline and insufficient sensitivity. My first solution: ask Engineering to design and make a custom temperature-controlled draft-free enclosure for the instrument. Their assessment: this can be done for $11,000; it will take 3 months. My assessment: that’s ridiculous. My next solution: borrow a pickup truck, go to Home Depot, buy a $200 chest freezer, put the $100,000 calorimeter in the $200 freezer and Voila! problem solved. The instrument’s sensitivity was improved by a factor of 10, baseline stability improved by 4x and the usable temperature range of the instrument was expanded to include room temperature, a critical temperature that was previously inaccessible. Conclusion: excellent solutions don’t have to be expensive and take months to implement. Highly effective solutions CAN be cheap, quick and easy IF you know what you’re doing. Bottom line: If your life sciences manufacturing operation has problems, please call me or anyone at DLW Partners because we can and will fix those problems whether they are quality, technical, operational, compliance, cultural or all of the above. Best of all, there's no harm in simply contacting us to learn more about how we can help you, so please don't hesitate, just call us. Your ops and your stakeholders will thank you.

According to Ogwo David Emenike, “success doesn’t just happen. It is a product of hard work, grit and ingenuity.” We couldn’t agree more. We are most successful when our team implements these three qualities together. It is not enough to simply work hard, you have to think hard too. Utilizing all three is what allows us to be successful together. #alliance #specialties #plasticsindustry #manufacturing #moldrepair #plasticinjectionmolding #repairservices #preventativemaintenance #workhardthinkharder #successunlocked

Looking forward to this presentation based on information in KSMTA’s 12 Traits of Highly Profitable Trucking Companies series!

The seminar was truly enlightening, also for us belonging to the organization team. We learned so much from the knowledgeable speaker. The discussions were engaging and thought-provoking, and we left feeling inspired and motivated to apply what we learned in our personal and professional lives. The atmosphere was welcoming and conducive to learning, and the place, the organization, and the execution were receiving amazing feedback from the participants. PROBATUR GROUP customers, partners, employees, and all the participants in the seminar spent an amazing day together, looking to expand their knowledge and skills. The possibility of networking was also on the agenda and many participants took this opportunity to expand their connections. At the end of the Seminar, it was possible to get for the first time the PLANT MANAGERS’ MANUAL, the new book by Manlio Dellai. The interest in the book was overwhelming, with more copies than participants sold in a few minutes. We are looking forward to the next event with our customers, partners, employees, and the interested public. For more information, you can contact PROBATUR GROUP Team directly at [email protected] or come in person to the next event Profesia Days, Bratislava on 24th – 25th April at PROBATUR GROUP stand to meet the Team. #plantmanager #strategy #kpi #continuosimprovment #lean #productionmanagement #book #operationalexcellence

Modern manufacturers face challenges acquiring advanced skill sets amid a tight labor market. Check out this brief video from members of the Kestria Global Industrial and Production Practice Group discussing which hard skills have changed.

Happy Manufacturing Monday "Action is the foundational key to all success." In the world of manufacturing, this quote is a guiding principle. It highlights that success doesn't come from mere intentions but from deliberate, consistent, and strategic actions. Every action we take in our quest for manufacturing excellence, whether it's addressing bottlenecks, optimising workflows, or fostering a culture of continuous improvement, is a building block of success. Fluere Ltd we are starting the week with a proactive mindset, knowing that every action we initiate propels us closer to our goals. www.fluere.co.uk #manufacturingmonday #processimprovement #actionforsuccess #manufacturingindustry #yorkshire
