  *OMAC Events at ARC Orlando 2010 *


      *Sessions/Workshops*

*Improving Packaging Operations Performance and Machine Design ***

Wednesday, February 10, 2010
10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

Production machines and entire production lines have become a focal 
point and often a bottleneck in an effort to improve overall plant 
performance and supply chain efficiency. Forward thinking machine 
builders and CPG manufacturers are deploying better ways to reduce 
costs, speed time to market, and improve performance. Through the 
adoption of standards for communication interfaces and data structures 
manufacturers are able to improve production performance. Furthermore, 
improved machine design, development, and deployment practices are 
bringing machinery to market that is easier to maintain and identify 
production bottlenecks.

    * *10:30 a.m.* - Improving Machine Design and Performance with Lean
      Engineering
    * *10:50 a.m.* -Case Study: Improving Performance with OEE and KPIs
      in Packaging Operations
    * *11:10 a.m.* - The Value of Machine Standards - Rob Aleksa
    * *11:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.* - Panel Session (will include CNC and
      packaging users)
