The quiet industrial revolution which has been transforming North West electrical and electronic engineering over the past decade will be entering the limelight at a major conference next month. Some 500 manufacturers from across the North West region will be joining the conference 'In pursuit of manufacturing excellence' to share the secrets of success from those who have been leading the way. Top manufacturing leaders from companies including Siemens will be among the keynote speakers; together with TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber, Nick Brayshaw, Chairman of the CBI's Manufacturing Council and global commentators - including Dr Robert Hall (The Doc), a founder of the US Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME).

The event at Bolton's Reebok Stadium on Tuesday 28th June is being held by the Manufacturing Advisory Service in the North West (MAS), which is delivered in the region by the Manchester-based Manufacturing Institute.

The conference, which is supported by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA), will herald the significant strides made to revolutionise manufacturing processes and productivity techniques.

In combination with massive culture changes, these have helped the North West sector sharpen its competitive edge, achieving the highest regional output in England with a rise by more than 6% since 1998.

'Companies such as Siemens have a wealth of knowledge to share with electrical and electronic manufacturers in the region', said Julie Madigan, Chief Executive of The Manufacturing Institute, which marks its tenth anniversary this year as an organisation supporting North West manufacturing.

'We will be looking at how the region's manufacturing sector stood ten years ago and at where it is today, examining the trends during that period and the techniques employed by successful companies to address key issues'.

Advance tickets for the conference are available at subsidised rates to manufacturing companies in the North West as part of the support provided by MAS to deliver high impact productivity improvement programmes. Request free introductory details about products from The Manufacturing Institute....
