MRO Today is committed to
providing you a road map to 21st-century manufacturing success. Here
are some of the ways we’re doing that.
Best practice cover stories: MRO
Today is your benchmarking resource. We travel to the country’s
top industrial plants and spend time on the shop floor with the
management and non-management leaders enacting real change. Our cover
stories explain how these companies attained supply chain,
maintenance, production, engineering and/or safety excellence, and how
you can incorporate many of their best practices. This issue’s cover
story outlines Harley-Davidson’s unique approach to supplier
relations. Harley’s actions provide lessons for us all.
Award-winning articles: Count on
MRO Today for quality information. I’m proud to announce that
for the second year in a row, MRO Today won an Award of
Editorial Excellence from the American Society of Business Publication
Editors.
"Thinking outside the box,"
an in-depth story on the future of manufacturing, as modeled by the
Batesville Casket Company, won in this year’s competition. Last
year, MRO Today won for "Six Sigma," a story
detailing the AlliedSignal Corporation’s utilization of the
quality/continuous improvement tool.
ASBPE received more than 2,500 entries
for its 2001 competition.
Relationships: You may have
noticed two additions last issue. Larry Lynch, the director of
business development for the Disney Institute, became our fourth MRO
Coach, providing insights each issue on training and people
management. And, the Association for Manufacturing Excellence became
the seventh industrial professional organization to endorse MRO Today
as an important source of information for its members.
Our ever-growing pool of information
and networking resources helps improve your professional status and
increase the value you bring to your company.
www.mrotoday.com: Our Web site
is the daily version of MRO Today magazine. We have hundreds of
articles on every aspect of manufacturing excellence. A large
percentage are articles — case studies, columns, product application
stories, how-to tips — that do not appear in our print publication.
We also provide manufacturing industry news updated every day.
On the site, you can also cement your
magazine subscription by filling out our online subscription form.
As always, I want MRO Today to
be your magazine. Let me know how I can make MRO Today an even
more important resource for you.
