Reliable Manufacturing leads reliability engagement workshop at
Works Management Manufacturing Conference 2014

Andrew Fraser, Managing Director of change management consultancy, Reliable
Manufacturing, will demonstrate how reliability can be used to support continuous
improvement programmes at the Works Management Manufacturing Conference in
Leicestershire on 20 21 November.

Many change management programmes are brought to a stand-still because of a change
resistant culture and silo mentality in the factory. Aimed at manufacturing managers, t he
annual Works Management Manufacturing Conference (WMMC) presents thought leadership
and practical advice from some of the industrys top talent on forging forward with
improvement schemes. The event, organised by leading industry magazine, Works
Management, features an inspiring mix of speeches, factory tours and interactive workshops,
demonstrating how to put business processes into practice.

On the afternoon of the second day of the event, November 21, delegates will attend a series
of three workshops in rotation. Andrew Frasers workshop, entitled Engaging your people to
deliver a high reliability, high profit organisation, will deliver real insight and practical tips
on how to lead the process of change from reactive to proactive behaviours, to achieve a
culture of high reliability. Delegates will leave understanding how and why increased
reliability prompts increased production output, product quality and customer service
performance.

People change by doing things differently. But half the battle is helping them want to do
things differently, says Fraser. By equipping your leadership, aligning functions and
engaging your employees creativity in the change process, you can yield real, sustainable
improvement.

Frasers presentation will change the way delegates think about reliability as he puts forward
the business case for why reliability should be given the same credence as safety, and
established as a core organisation value. Many organisations underestimate the role
reliability plays in increasing production output, product quality and yield, customer
satisfaction and enabling sustainable cost reductions, he explains.
