The last PICME seminar - in association with Scottish Enterprise - sold out in Glasgow, Scotland on Tuesday March 15.
Dr Glyn Hughes, PICME associate and Humber Chemical Focus CEO says that 'the business case for this work is unarguable - a message that many companies are increasingly taking to heart.' PICME research shows that despite good progress over the last 3 years the UK's chemicals and process industry still needs to increase its use of the lean manufacturing approach to make its manufacturing globally competitive.
Most enterprises in UK chemicals manufacturing could still benefit from working that bit 'smarter'.
Mark Lewis, PICME CEO says that 'as ever, the key to unlocking this potential is not about cash or capital.
It's about people - helping them work more effectively - and using best practice in measurement and improvement.'.
