Talking Leadership at the IndustryWeek M&T Show

Time is running out to register for the IW Manufacturing & Technology Show, being held in Cleveland October 18-20. In today's Continuous Improvement newsletter, we feature several of the speakers who will be sharing their knowledge at this event. 

Look no further than our lead article, which highlights 2022 IW Best Plants winner NOV Texas Oil Tools. This honoree will join three other 2022 winners to share their experiences and lessons learned on the way to operational excellence. 

Then, skip down to our Editor's Choice selections. The first article is written by Ford lean master Saso Krstovski, who will join the M&T conference to share his views on how to win over skeptical workers. The second article is co-written by Rick Bohan. Bohan will co-present at M&T on the topic of bringing a lean strategy to the supply chain. 

These speakers join a conference schedule filled with networking, learning and sharing opportunities, plant tours and more. Register now: https://www.mfgtechshow.com.
