19th Annual BCIT “How To” Workshops

Everyone is aware that BC organizations must improve their productivity – whether it relates to materials, people or processes. Determining the best way to improve productivity is the hard part. Often managers are not sure where to begin or which path to take to get the best results. That’s where these “How To” workshops are an invaluable aid. They are designed for the Practitioner – the one who actually makes it happen. The workshops identify where improvements can take place and how to actually implement them.

The workshop format is highly interactive, combining lectures, group discussion, case studies, hands-on activities and reference materials. Over the last eighteen years, hundreds of satisfied participants have been able to implement cost-effective solutions to their operational problems. Manufacturers, distributors, retailers, as well as service organizations will benefit from enrolling two or more of their employees to enhance implementation efforts.

    Materials Management:
        Inventory Management
