WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:
This is the 2nd webinar in SME's Lean to Green Manufacturing
Series for 2010. It will focus on "Green Manufacturing," and
specifically its enormous success at the Ford Motor
Company--during an era when Henry Ford could have legally
dumped into the river whatever waste he couldn't send up the
smokestack. Ford's approach underscores the kind of thinking
that should go into Green Manufacturing, including the need
to find a use for everything, avoid the waste involved in
packaging, and minimize shipping costs.
Benefits demonstrated through practical examples of greener approaches:
 Reduce costs
Increase revenues
Mitigate risks
