Charles Cohon's presentation Why Lean Manufacturing is Green Manufacturing will be featured at The International Plastics Showcase Tuesday June 23, 2009 at Chicago's McCormick Place.

In this one-hour seminar, we'll review the fundamental principles of Lean Manufacturing in the context of Lean's impact on your carbon footprint. We'll review how lean can be greener than recycling, because the only thing greener than a company that recycles all its scrap is a company that avoids creating scrap in the first place, and we'll consider how converting from batch and queue to single piece flow reduces your carbon footprint by eliminating the need to heat and cool warehouses and fuel fork lift trucks. Cohon's has presented on Lean topics at the 2008 Manufacturing Week Conference, 2008 Society of Manufacturing Engineers Show and Conference, Electric West, ABB's Automation World and the Electronic Distribution Show and Conference.
