The KPI Institute at the 10th conference of the Performance Management Association – Day 3
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.
