October 4, 11:00-11:50 am, Room S402ab: Keep the Outsourcing Wolves Away: How Leading In-Plants Continue To Thrive.

To survive and thrive leading in-plant service providers think outside the box. To battle the threats from outsourcers and facilities management companies, in-plants offer a wide variety of products and services to increase their value. Despite the common misconceptions that: the in-plant is not strategically aligned, the staff lacks competency, and the in-plant does not provide enough value; leading in-plants have proven they can compete, align with the mission, provide value and remain cost competitive.  In this seminar we will discuss strategies and tactics used by leading in-plants.

  • How leader in-plants measure productivity, overcome bottlenecks and reduce costs
  • Case histories of in-plants that save money
  • Successful and unsuccessful competitive pricing studies
  • The latest market research including market size, trends and services
  • How to benchmark and report performance
  • Case histories of successful insourcing strategies
  • Listening to your customers and identifying new products and services
  • How to prioritize software investments. What should be on the top of your list
  • How to overcome the typical hurdles of software automation
  • The pros and cons of latest hardware options
  • Full disclosure of the outsourcing literature, issues and failures
  • How to creating a “Battle Book”

 

October 5, 10:00 am-12:00 pm, Booth 343: TechWalk Tour: Balanced Scorecard for In-Plant Survival.

The balanced scorecard approach is a 2-prong approach that helps in-plants increase the value of traditional products and services while building new value added products that will pave the way for their future success. Our tour will focus on the technologies and strategies that both: 1) drive down the cost of traditional products and 2) are required to build and support the next generation of value-added products.
