ISA Expo 2004 returns to Houston, 5-7 October after a stellar conference and exhibition in 2003 with more than 14,500 in attendance and over 500 companies showcasing their technologies and products
With over 31 years of experience in all aspects of DuPont site and global operations, including various plant operations and management assignments, Mr Sieg brings indepth knowledge to his keynote address, "Using Process Control to Improve Business Results".
"Manufacturing is changing rapidly with production capacity being added in regions with lowest cost and highest growth," said Sieg.
"The pressure on costs will continue, and the pressure on increasing performance will continue.
Controlling the process is essential to operational excellence and is one of the keys to manufacturing success in all regions of the world".
Mr Sieg will share a portion of the DuPont roadmap for excellence and expand on three points for attendees to take away: The focus of manufacturing is on performance and to improve performance you must first define and measure performance; automation and controls are essential for operational excellence in manufacturing and leadership is required to drive improved performance; automation professionals must continue to develop skills to optimise the return on technology investments.
DuPont has established a function dedicated to operational excellence through Automation and Process control.
This Center of Competency, in its broadest sense includes all automation professionals in DuPont.
The leadership provides the strategic direction to drive bottom line results through automation and control.
The team provides leadership for best practices and standard work processes, common measurements of performance, and the tracking and reporting of business results.
"Automation professionals are essential to improved process operation.
Without a commitment to the development of our automation professionals, we risk the improved performance of the supply chain," he stated.
