Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson To Speak at IndustryWeek's 2010 Best Plants Conference

CLEVELAND, April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Mayor Frank Jackson will join a premier lineup of top speakers at the 2010 IW Best Plants Conference on Tuesday, April 20th at the Renaissance Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio.  Mayor Jackson will address hundreds of the country's top manufacturing leaders and will be an important part in the three day event aimed at helping the manufacturing community rev up for the recovery with ideas, innovations, and techniques to improve production, supply chain operation, and profitability.

Best Plants offers a rich, time-efficient menu of sessions on all aspects of manufacturing operations and techniques – from implementing kaizen techniques to leveraging the power of employee engagement to improving energy efficiency and reducing supply chain risk. In just two days, attendees will share in the real-world experiences of experts from companies such as Canon, Ford, Philips, Ingersoll Rand, Owens Corning, Milliken and Autoliv.

In addition to Mayor Jackson, attendees will hear keynote presentations on staying competitive in manufacturing from three outstanding industrial leaders – John Ferriola, COO for Nucor Corp.; Kathy Miller, VP for Lean Enterprise & Quality at Parker Hannifin and Jim Griffith, president and CEO of The Timken Co. Hear how these manufacturing leaders are reshaping their operations every day to be successful in the global market.

A unique benefit of the Best Plants conference is to meet the team members responsible for those world-class operations – the winners of the 2009 Best Plants competition. Network with representatives of Batesville Casket, Carrier, E-Z-GO, General Cable, Masco, Nordson, Philips, and Raytheon, all of whom help to manage the people, processes, and technologies that keep their facilities progressing on a continuous improvement path.

Best Plants also provides outstanding plant visits - view the leading-edge operations of Ford Motor, Timken, Jergens and Lincoln Electric.

Have fun and network on April 20th when we provide VIP Access to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – a great opportunity to kick back, channel your inner Mick Jagger or Tina Turner and relive the sights and sounds of rock & roll's greatest performers.
