BEST PRACTICES (course number VPPAC –

What are the most successful firms doing in today’s market? And
more importantly how are they doing it? This session could take
your firm to that higher level or at least will offer the
catalyst that catapults you to higher returns in quality,
production, schedule, budget and safety.
This is more than simply a “how-to” session it is rather a
“how-do” session. Hundreds of firms have been surveyed. We also
discuss what does not work and why. There are mini-work group
projects or breakout sessions throughout the day designed to
explore, develop and evolve each topic. Multiple tools,
resources and practices (you never considered) are offered from
the moment the workshop begins until the time it ends.
FOOTPRINT FORUM: (Course number VPPAC -

Like to know where you stand as a candidate for VPP? Then invite
our Footprint Forum to your site for either a 1 or 2-day review

for success. The findings of the Forum are gathered into a
written field report for your use that suggests the best track
forward based on you specific situation. (This session is

experienced team to run you through the paces before it counts
for real! We will identify any open and obvious issues that may
have gone overlooked plus our teams can dig deeper by conducting
