conference

During the 26th – 29th of June, 2016, The KPI Institute will be attending the 10th conference of the Performance Management Association, held in Edinburgh, Scotland, entitled Performance Measurement and Management: New Theories for New Practices.

The third day of the conference saw a smaller, yet equally enthralling number of parallel paper tracks, along with the Sarah Jardine’s keynote presentation, entitled Fail-Fast – Creating a people centred workplace that encourages learning. Sarah Jardine is Director of Manufacturing for Optos Plc, a UK based company which designs, develops and manufactures its core ultra-widefield retinal imaging devices.

She is responsible for providing leadership and direction for staff in the manufacturing facility, and has a strong understanding of cGMP and LEAN philosophies and methodologies.

Sarah holds a BSc(Hons) in Laser Physics and Optoelectronics and an MSc in Laser Engineering, having started her career as a Laser Engineer with Thales Optronics, after which she joined Optos as a Senior Optical Engineer in January 2000 and progressed through the Operations and R&D teams in to her current role as the Director of Manufacturing.

She is currently the Chairperson of the Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Board.

Apart from her insightful exposition, many other interesting presentations that were part of the parallel paper tracks took place and are listed below, under the same format as the 1st and 2nd day of the conference.
