AWPA Operations Managers Meeting

Each year at the Operations Managers Meeting, Operations personnel from around the country get together to find solutions to the challenges presented by today’s manufacturing environment – whether it’s difficulty with safety regulations and environmental management or process improvements – discussing the problem with others in similar positions provides insight and new perspectives. Combined with Roundtable discussions with other plant managers, and a plant tour of the Fort Wayne Metals campus, this year’s program has real information that Operations Managers can use to improve operations in their own facilities.

The Operations Managers Meeting will begin on Tuesday morning with registration and committee meetings.  Tuesday afternoon is the General Session and Roundtable Discussion Groups followed by a reception and dinner at the hotel.  Wednesday’s schedule includes breakfast and a Plant Tour of the Fort Wayne Metals facilities.  We will have you back to the hotel by 3:30 pm, with a stop at Indianapolis Airport by 3:00 pm to drop off those with evening flights.

PLANT TOUR

This year, for the first time, we will be touring Fort Wayne Metals Research Products Corporation. Fort Wayne Metals produces highly specialized wire and wire products for medical devices. The company was formed in 1971. With a strong focus on innovation and research, Fort Wayne Metals has developed new alloys, processes and products to spark medical innovation and save lives. The opportunity to tour the campus should not be missed!
