Combining best practice principles to drive supply chain performance


What do you get when you combine the learnings from neuroscience with insights from Gallileo and Louis Pasteur? A formula to better understand manufacturing excellence, according to highly respected thought leader Ian Young.
 
“It is difficult to define excellence and evaluate our current paradigms when they are continually changing. One way to better understand future directions is to combine lessons learned from history with the use of examples from other fields to predict new directions and rise above the challenges of a rapidly changing environment,” said Ian.
 
Following a debilitating brain stem injury in 2008, Ian took a very personal interest in the latest thinking in neuroscience and the 'plastic' brain, in order to learn how to retrain his brain to regain his sense of balance.
 
“I realised that without the fundamental ability to balance, it is impossible for any of your senses to function together. This is the same in business. If a business does not have balance, or stability in its fundamental processes, all other functions become compromised and wasteful,” said Ian.
 
Ian will be presenting his findings from this unique comparison and how to incorporate environmental excellence and operational excellence at the Lean Vision Conference where he will be the opening keynote speaker.
 
Ian’s current focus is on educating leaders and improvement champions of manufacturing organisations to develop an understanding of their triple bottom line and the business of sustainability through the Lean to Green program, which is an initiative supported by Sustainability Victoria.
 
"Sustainability is typically seen as an added cost however businesses are now demonstrating that sustainability can be free - it can increase your sales, reduce resource consumption and ensure your competitive advantage,” said Ian.
 
The Lean Vision Conference will be held from the 8 – 10 September 2010 at The Langham Melbourne. The conference is hosted by two leading professional associations – AME (Association for Manufacturing Excellence) and apics (the Australasian Production and Inventory Control Society). The program features opportunities to learn from keynotes, thought-leaders, internationals and supply chain experts as well as case studies and technical tours.
 
Ian will also share case studies from a number of leading organisations he has worked with including Kraft Foods, 2010 Hall of Fame inductee and 2009 Banksia winner, and Davey Water Products, 2008 Premiers Sustainability award winner.
 
Ian has recently been recognised for his contribution to the manufacturing industry as the recipient of the 2010 AME Jim Watkins Memorial award for Manufacturing Excellence at the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Gala Dinner.
