New workshop teaches how to boost packaging line efficiency


A new course, Packaging Line Performance Workshop, will give packagers the skills, tools, and knowledge they require to improve the efficiency of their packaging lines. Produced by Packaging World, the two-day intensive workshop teaches attendees the fundamentals of packaging line performance improvement. Attendees will learn how to measure OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) on their packaging lines, and will come away with practical experience to put to immediate use.

The goal is for attendees to be able to implement actionable strategies to boost line efficiency, without getting bogged down in math. Attendees will also receive a packaging line performance improvement spreadsheet tool

The workshop will be held is six cities throughout the U.S. and Canada in 2008. It costs $1,295 per attendee.

The Packaging Line Performance Workshop is taught by Paul J. Zepf, M. Eng. P.Eng., CPP of Zarpac Inc., which is co-producing the event. Zepf is the author of 10 books on packaging production systems, and has researched and developed new concepts for calculating and designing packaging processes, machinery, and effective operations.
