Workshop on Waste Reduction in Manufacturing Process

Program overview:

Waste reduction is any activity that REDUCES or ELIMINATES the generation of waste AT THE SOURCE. Increasingly, companies are focusing on waste reduction in the entire manufacturing process rather than just on end-of the-pipe waste.

Liquid, solid, and/or gaseous waste materials are always generated during the manufacture of any product. In addition to creating environmental problems, these wastes represent losses of valuable materials and energy from the production process and require a significant investment in pollution control.

This program on waste reduction help participants focus on the primary purpose of any business organization i.e. to provide a customer with a product or service of value at a profit.

Waste reduction techniques should be key components of any cost-effective, comprehensive waste management program.

For whom:

This program is designed for Managers, supervisors, Engineers and employees who are involved operations and production procedures as well as quality control personnel, inspectors, testing personnel, or those interested in cost or profit center or quality improvement functions.
