23 March: factory manager will give open guest lecture
Should we outsource our production to Eastern Europe or is there a better way to organize our own system? Operations Director at Stork Fokker in Papendrecht, Maarten Witte, deals with these kind of questions and will give an open lecture about the answers. Lecturer of the course Production Organization & Control Warse Klingenberg has invited various production company managers. The lecture by the Operations Director of Stork Fokker will take place on Monday 23 March in room 151 in the Bernouilliborg and is open to anyone interested. Lecture will start at 15.00 hrs.
The course Production Organization & Control is part of the degree programmes Industrial Engineering & Management and Technology Management. Lecturer Klingenberg has scheduled a number of guest lectures by managers of production companies. The aim of the guest lectures is to put the theory taught in the seminars, book and hand-outs into the complexity of practice.
On 2 March, Frans Maarse, vice-president manufacturing operations at Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Europe (MCFE) was the first speaker in the guest lecture series. His lecture discussed the organization of the plant in Almere, the optimization of the production system and the way organizational decisions are taken in practice. He also commented on the consequences of the current crisis and the measures that MCFE has recently taken.
Another guest lecture will be given by Paul Casteleijn from Stork Asset Management Solutions, who will focus on an assignment prepared by the students, in the field of Maintenance Management. The same holds for Bas van der Hoek, Senior Manager Industrial Engineering at Philips Drachten (on the subjects of line balancing and product architecture) and Maarten Witte from Stork Fokker Papendrecht who will deliver the open lecture of 23 March.
