Engaging Automation

Manufacturing Workshop

Join us for a manufacturing workshop, Engaging Automation with continuous improvement expert Eric Blaha.

Across manufacturers, incorporating automation is part of the ongoing strategy around labor shortages. Yet what may seem like a straightforward solution is fraught with challenges and pitfalls. A key to a successful implementation is the buy-in and support of your people.

Continuous improvement expert Eric Blaha will share the right reasons to automate, and how to structure profitable automation through Enterprise Minnesota’s proprietary VESSA process. He’ll also show you how and why to actively bring your employees into the conversation and planning stages before starting any automation project. Engaging employees early in the process will support long term productivity improvements and help make jobs safer and easier.
