Toyota Material Handling will be supporting the UK manufacturing industry as headline sponsor for the 4th year for the Best Factory Awards (BFA) Conference 19-20 March 2014 in Derby.
The Best Factory Awards conference gives manufacturers the opportunity to learn from their peers how to become Best Factory by sharing knowledge, skills and expertise.
Toyota has been long supporters of the Best Factory Awards programme not only as headline sponsor but by sharing of knowledge about the Toyota Production System (TPS) through workshops and free resources. In the past four years the conference and awards has grown significantly into one of the most prestigious awards in UK manufacturing.
“Toyota is an organisation that promotes excellence in manufacturing,” explains sales and marketing director Tony Wallis. “For us there is no better way to do this than to be associated with an awards and conference programme reflecting those standards”.
This year the conference will include an introduction to the TPS framework plus an opportunity to see TPS in practice at the Toyota car factory at Burnaston, Derby.
“We see this conference as a great opportunity for us to talk to manufacturers, understand the challenges they experience and share our knowledge about continuous improvement,” concludes Wallis. “This year we will be sharing our latest TPS whitepaper that explains how to apply some of the concepts of TPS to any business operation”.
