Maximizing Strategic Planning to Drive Results from Senior Leadership to the Factory Floor

Scott Detillo, Vice President of Operations, SAFARILAND

Strategic planning is an effective way for an organization and a senior leadership team to be-come aligned on goals, however, how can you use this plan to drive continuous improvement on the factory floor? In this presentation you’ll learn the process to develop a strategic plan that can be used by the entire organization to get results and become a little better every day.

Leadership Strategies to Inspire Your Team and Ignite Innovation

Patrick Masterson, Vice President of Corporate Manufacturing, HUSCO INTERNATIONAL

Breakthrough innovation is difficult. Technology, action plans and communication tools will only get you part way to your goal. The best ideas that are true breakthroughs will come from the people on your teams. How can you inspire innovation & ignite the performance shift that you envision?

Attraction and Retention: Getting Millennials On-Board and Keeping Them

Tim Schafhauser, Vice President of Manufacturing, US VISION

Strategies built specifically for recruiting the millennial and retaining them long enough to make a significant impact. These include emphasis on teaching contemporary manufacturing technology by using diverse learning methodologies. Once trained, making them feel part of “something bigger” by getting them involved in company and community causes.

Leading Faster, Better and Sustainable Product and Supply Chain Innovation in Today’s Changing World

Pietro Di Pilato, Senior Vice President Technical, Innovation and Brand Change, DIAGEO

In this session, attendees will learn how Diageo North America has achieved success by identifying and implementing innovative approaches throughout its supply chain. From planning and manufacturing to liquid development and packaging, Pietro Di Pilato will share innovative approaches that have increased the company’s ability to execute faster, better and more sustainably in today’s rapidly changing world.

Manufacturing Takes the Lead in Lead Product Creation

Art Hyde, Global Product Development System Chief Engineer, FORD MOTOR COMPANY

Connecting supply chain with corporate mission and values, and using it to gain differentiation to achieve a competitive advantage. Prioritizing and resourcing the best initiatives to drive results and transform the operating environment. Conducting a gap analysis, creating training program to drive change and building a long lasting, sustainable organization.

One-on-One Research Meetings

The targeted research appointments are perceived as one of the most valuable elements of the program by attendees. It’s a genuine win - win for both exhibitors and delegates. Please be aware that if you have no interest in researching solutions, this is not a relevant event for you.

This portion of the event reflects around 25% of your time at the conference. The information you provide during registration ensures that we can schedule appointments for you with solution providers that meet your unique needs. We will create a customized appointment schedule for you prior to the event to connect you with only the solutions and services that you have expressed interest in researching, or with specific suppliers you request to meet. This process is designed to put you in touch with vendors that may be of value to your organization. You will have the chance to review, amend and approve your schedule prior to the event.

At the event, you’ll connect with a senior-level executive who has taken time to prepare pertinent information relevant to your company and areas of interest. You’ll have a relaxed informal discussion to understand if their solution is truly aligned to your unique needs. It is without doubt the most time efficient medium to research and understand what cutting edge technology is potentially available to help optimize your operations.

“The IMPACT Summit is an amazing opportunity to network with a broad array of senior leaders and to expand your view of the possibilities. The event brings together newer tech innovators along with more established manufacturers and

solution providers.”

Chris AliapouliosDirector of Purchasing, Quality and Materials Management

Midway Products Group, Inc.

“The IMPACT format is very effective for getting up to date on current manufacturing technologies and product offerings. IMPACT provides an opportunity to meet directly with suppliers to have detailed discussions to better understand the products and services that match your areas of interest.”

Loran CoxDirector of QualityPING
