Production Partnership Management Workshop

25 August 2007, 3:39pm

25 August 2007 - This is a first notice of a jointly sponsored workshop organised jointly by EuroSDR, EuroGeographics, and supported by FIG.

Production Partnership Management
to be held at Ordnance Survey, Southampton
7-9th November 2007

Purpose of the Workshop

With ever increasing demands in value and quality in the GI market we need to manage our
production processes more effectively in an environment that embraces continual improvement.

Innovation and continual improvement must be balanced rather than replaced with control. These often conflicting requirements can be met through Production Partnership Management.

The increase in value and quality can be demonstrated by a number of companies. The aim of this workshop is to consider the application for your own purposes and agree this best practice through the acceptance of a guideline document (draft document available 22/09/07). This document may then be taken forward by the GI industry with the possibility of submission as a draft ISO Standard. This will be achieved through exploring (within the context of the draft document).

• the drivers for new ways of working
• examples of application
• wording of documentation
• future steps
