Technical training - a new venture for Keops Altech
27 August 2003
Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Keops Altech recently identified a requirement in the market, both in terms of users and vendors, for a clearly defined understanding of 'best practice' in the manufacturing process.
In conjunction with an internationally-recognised provider of technical training for engineers and technicians, Keops Altech consulting manager, Gerhard Greeff, developed a two-day training programme and a comprehensive reference manual. The workshop focuses on the practical fundamentals of e-manufacturing, manufacturing execution systems (MES) and supply chain management.
Already presented by Greeff in the UK and Ireland, the workshop teaches delegates how to identify and model enterprise and business automation system hierarchies; use internationally-recognised process and system design concepts; identify and design e-manufacturing and supply chain components; financially motivate projects and measure improvement after installation. Also, it shows how to manage software projects, system integration and software vendors; manage behavioural change during system implementation to reduce disruption; and to choose objectively between different software and technology providers amongst others.
Says Greeff, "I believe that this course offers much value to the manufacturing industry because the correct implementation of MES invariably results in improved returns on production assets, on-time delivery, faster inventory turnover, larger net profits through increased cost reduction and improved cash flow."
Greeff says the workshop proved to be so popular that Keops Altech is planning the development of numerous other technical training courses in its chosen field of expertise.
