Fairfax, Virginia -- Next month, SGIA’s Webinar series wraps up this year with two sessions dedicated to helping specialty imagers cut costs and efficiently manage staff. http://www.sgia.org/training_and_education/webinars/

"With so much focus on technology in today’s printing industry, it’s vastly important not to lose sight of factors that can improve business efficiency, streamline processes and provide a safer workplace,” said Dan Marx, SGIA’s Vice President of Markets and Technology. “These webinars speak to any company that hopes to go to a higher level."

Coming up first is Lean Manufacturing (November 8) by Bill Hanover, ThroughPut Solutions. Attendees will receive an overview of the concept, discover the transition process from traditional to lean operating philosophy, learn best practices as well as those to avoid. Company owners, production managers, equipment and materials manufacturers are encouraged to attend. http://www.sgia.org/training_and_education/webinars/

The following week, Marisabel Torres, SGIA’s Government Affairs Associate, will conduct HR & Safety: It’s a Match (November 15). Attendees will explore the relationships between human resource policies and safety concerns to successfully manage employees. http://www.sgia.org/training_and_education/webinars/

Torres brings her extensive knowledge of developing health and safety compliance tools to this program, leaving attendees with knowledge of: 

• the legal obligations and parameters that you should work within
• the importance of having clearly defined safety policies.

"SGIA recognizes there can be some resource restraints within an organization and this webinar will show how to implement safety into your HR policies economically," Torres said.
