Effective operational management should be a pre-
requisite for any wire and cable plant. A manual
approach can provide significant benefits, but these
can be extended further by using integrated, digital
tools. Waste can be significantly and systematically
eliminated. Manufacturing can become a
competitive advantage rather than a strategic
weakness.
When digital data is shared with the business and
technical databases and systems, it can improve
decision making, planning and estimating. All
of these, when combined, improve the certainty
and repeatability of performance and hence of
profitability.
Wire and cable manufacturing is one of the most
complex production environments that exists. It
takes many years to develop a good understanding of
the internal supply-chain and its processes.
The course leader, Bill Pearson, has a wide-ranging
and long career in the cable industry and led
interventions in plants throughout the UK, Europe,
the USA and Asia-Pacific. He will draw from his
experiences and provide participating companies
with a unique opportunity to draw on his knowledge
and skills to develop the next generation of senior
Operations Managers and, importantly, short and
medium-term improvements.
Participants will be exposed to a wide range of the
technical and production management challenges
that affect their daily lives. They will be taught how
to monitor, manage and improve their working
environment.
The study method is flexible and can be delivered
anywhere in the world. It enables ‘out of hours’ study
and catch up. The one to one support participants
will receive when completing short assignments

will reinforce their understanding and extend the
knowledge transfer from the experienced trainers.
They will be coached through the final assignment
and they and their companies will develop an
understanding of the short, medium and longer-
term improvements that they could achieve. They
will develop an understanding of the role that digital
manufacturing could play in their overall strategy.
The benefits from this course could have a profound
impact on the long-term competitiveness of their
manufacturing facility.
This course is aimed at professionals working in
the cable manufacturing industry. Typical intake
includes; Production Manager, Technical Manager,
Production Supervision, Technical Assistant,
Manufacturing/Process Engineer, Cable Design,
Owner/Managers.
Bill Pearson, Course Leader, will be hosting a free
webinar on 8th March 2018, providing information
on course modules and answering any questions.
