Overview

What is a “pearl?" A pearl is simply an outstanding practice that others might benefit from learning more about. The sessions are structured for the award recipients to describe:

  • How this pearl has benefitted their organization?
  • The biggest challenge in reaching this level of effectiveness?
  • What is the lesson learned from their experience?
  • Plans to do moving forward to take improvement to the next level?

Award recipients will each give a 10-minute presentation. The pearls they will share are:

  • How teams turn a $$ loser into a $$$ winner.
  • Innovation: Using Google glass, smart watches and AGV for materials.
  • Taking policy deployment to the shop floor to engage employees.
  • Decreasing space while increasing throughput (a 5-year trend).

In the second half of this double session, attendees will be divided into small groups and each award recipient will rotate amongst the small groups for Q&A.
