The third Manufacturing Excellence Week will be held over three days at the beginning of May 2003, in a new venue on Teesside.

The third Manufacturing Excellence Week will be held over three days at the beginning of May 2003, in a new venue on Teesside.

Entitled "Manufacturing excellence through automation and asset management" (www.manufacturingexcellence.net), the event will include the two-day Manufacturing Excellence Forum; a seven stream series of presentations related to asset management; and process industry automation and control.

Also included will be several full day training sessions, and a technology showcase of relevant products.

The Manufacturing Excellence Forum will discuss current developments that allow businesses to deliver better results, particularly within the oil and gas, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

The presentations will be split into seven streams, covering: oil and gas; pharmaceutical, biotech, fine chemicals and batch; operational excellence; energy efficiency; and safety.

Delegates will be able to organise their programme to suit individual interests.

In 2002 the forum attracted over 300 people, and a major feature was the interaction between different delegates and their experiences.

A further day during the week will be devoted to in-depth specific training sessions on regulatory compliance, asset management, process automation and control, for operators, engineers or plant managers.

One of the training courses will include a full review by Aker Kvaerner on the management approach needed to the different phases in the life of a process plant, described as "the cradle to grave life cycle".

The exhibition will showcase relevant products, technology and practices, and include demonstrations by over 20 key industry suppliers.

This year the sponsors are Emerson Process Management, Aker Kvaerner, Huntsman International and the ISA.

Discussions are currently under way with other relevant organisations.

The organisers of the event have issued a call for papers covering the following subjects: case studies illustrating savings and successful solutions; regulatory compliance; energy efficiency; linking control systems to the corporate IT world; reaping the benefits of international and corporate standards; instrumentation, compliance with legislation; the analysis of product and process lifecycles; developing organisational culture for success; innovative means of managing projects; recent developments in advanced control.

Extracts should be sent to nick.taylor@emersonprocess.com.
