I am very excited to share this information about the 5th Annual LGMI Conference to be held 26 - 28th of October at the Marcum Center on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Key details:
Learn--how to use your industrial database to find root causes for process events and upsets--a very practical and quick to apply set of techniques that can cut costs rapidly. (Markku Mustonen, Conmark Systems)
Learn--the impact of the Liquor Cycle on Pulp Manufacture. Hear case stories of actual mill experiences. This is a full half day workshop (Mike Ryan, Process Labs)
Learn--how mills are eliminating surge storage in stock prep through the application of modern control techniques. This has been an evolving process since about 1996 and has been proven to save real estate, operating costs, and to, overall, provide a much simpler system. (Ken Meine, APEC Engineering Consultants)
Learn--how mills are using new agitator designs to provide superior mixing and reduce operating costs (Marc Mosley, Philadelphia Mixing)
See--best maintenance practices as applied by Miami University in their own facilities. Miami is a client of IDCON and has implemented their system of maintenance practices. This will be a tour of Miami's facilities department with hands-on discussions. (Jeremy Davis, Director of Building Maintenance, Miami University)
The registration fee for the conference is only $295.00--but there is more. Half of this fee will be donated to the Miami University Pulp and Paper Foundation, a foundation that funds scholarships for pulp and paper majors at Miami. Additionally, attendees can receive a special collection of Jim Thompson's books, including "Raising EBITDA: The Lessons of Nip Impressions," "The Lazy Project Engineer's Path to Excellence," The Pulp and Paper Industry: A Perspective for Wall Street," and "The Osage Mill" -- a USD $100+ value.
Don't want to attend the whole conference? Any one module is $90.00. Any two modules are $160.00. Half of the fee will still go to the Foundation and you will get your choice of one of Jim's books.
