The seminar will provide a platform to discuss the following issues:
• How to remain competitive in the current global climate when manufacturing businesses are faced with competitive manufacturing facilities overseas where manufacturing costs are significantly less
• How to evaluate capability and ability to cross over into other industry sectors to increase opportunities
• How to increase productivity and better utilise resources
• How to drive innovation – many emerging countries now have significant ability to deliver 'me too' products and therefore innovation is critical to success
• How to reinvigorate existing strategies and business models
• How to combat current issues of grey imports, fluctuating exchange rates, high manufacturing costs etcetc
• How to retain quality staff with the key skills required to drive the business
• How to better understand and utilise supply chains

Seminar Format
The seminars will conclude with networking drinks. The seminar will be a combination of group discussions, power point presentation and case studies. All participants will be provided with hand outs of the presentation which in the past have been seen as extremely valuable and have been used to provide knowledge for management to run in house sessions for senior managers and employees who could not attend.

AIMEX will be contracting Madison Cross consultant Tony Karabatsas once again to deliver these seminars. He is very experienced within the marine export and superyacht sector but also has good knowledge and experience across other industry sectors i.e. automotive. Tony has worked with a number of marine industry clients and has produced a number of specific reports for the industry.
