Workshop: Production Partnership Management
28 August 2007, 9:29am
Production Partnership Management
Southampton, UK, from 7th to 9th November 2007
This is a first notice of a jointly sponsored workshop organised jointly by EuroSDR,
EuroGeographics, and supported by FIG.
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).

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.HAVE WE REALLY LEARNT THE LESSONS FROM LAST YEAR’S FLOODS?
Flooding costs associated with extreme weather, both financial and emotional, have increased considerably over the last decade, and experts have predicted this trend is set to continue.
Paul Livett, Chairman of GroundSure looks into how increasing the use of flood risk information in property transactions can help to ensure both residential and commercial transactions are conducted on a truly informed basis, with buyers being made aware of environmental risks prior to purchase.
Over 2.2 million homes and small businesses in the UK are located in areas considered at risk of flooding, and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said that 570,000 of these face a high risk of flooding. The floods in June and July last year left approximately 48,000 households… More…
