Continuous Improvement Conference Keynote to be a Study of NASCAR Pit Crews

Williamson will also discuss how capital-intensive businesses struggle with keeping their entire organization focused on the same goals while retaining their ability to change again and again in their race to success.

Commenting on his keynote presentation, Williamson says, "While studying NASCAR race teams and pit crews behind the scenes for nearly 16 years, I discovered their secrets of competitiveness. The way they approach equipment reliability and peak performance has direct applications to equipment in the printing industry. Our challenge is to learn these proven principles and apply them in a focused manner for fast and sustainable business advantages including reduced lead time, high quality, low cost, and reduced errors and waste."
