Discover how manufacturing leaders are building business value and operational excellence

CLEVELAND, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Good ideas are the fuel for successful businesses, and no manufacturing conference offers a higher-octane program than IndustryWeek's 2010 Best Plants Conference. Make plans now to join hundreds of manufacturing leaders attending IW's Best Plants Conference, being held April 19-21 at the Renaissance Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio. Join your fellow professionals as they rev up for the recovery with ideas, innovations and techniques to improve production, supply chain operation and profitability.

What's in store at the IW Best Plants Conference? 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.

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.

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.
