Certain manufacturers have prospered even during the recent economic downturn. How? By moving from traditional research and development to customer focused innovation (CFI) strategies that enable you to develop, make and market new products and services that meet the needs of your customers faster than your competition.
The Timken Company, one of the world’s leading producers of highly engineered antifriction bearings and related products and services, has used CFI to expand its presence in numerous markets, including wind energy, while simultaneously improving collaboration among its business units.
In this two-part CFI Workshop, you will first visit and tour The Timken Company’s Technology Center and hear from the company’s knowledge leaders in material science and power transmission how Timken is driving its CFI experience for mutual value creation.
The second part will take place Thursday, Jan. 6, 2011, at the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce in downtown Canton.
MAGNET, Timken and the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce invite you to a two-part workshop where you'll learn about CFI and how you can begin to implement CFI to significantly improve top and bottom-line results at your company.
MAGNET’s award-winning team of growth and plant improvement experts will also share the six key success attributes of best-in-class manufacturers and how American manufacturers are measuring up, as defined by the recent Next Generation Manufacturing study which surveyed hundreds of manufacturers nationwide.
The fee to attend this intensive two-part workshop is just $49. Registration will be limited to the first 30 manufacturers eager to start 2011 with the tools and knowledge to implement their own CFI program.
