As participants in the Baltimore area economy at all levels -- consumers, producers, and workers -- continue to explore what manufacturing means in the 21st century, one of the world's foremost experts in industrial profitability and growth will hold a free talk at the Community College of Baltimore County on Thursday, April 14 to share his insights. Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt, an Israeli citizen with a Ph.D in physics, has made a name internationally with his Theory of Constraints, which hinges on operational expense, throughput, and inventory as key factors that businesses need to weigh to ensure expansion.
Goldratt will come to CCBC's Catonsville campus on April 14 from 9-10:30 am to discuss his seminal 1984 book The Goal and take questions. Goldratt's visit to CCBC is primarily the result of work by the Regional Manufacturing Institute of Maryland, which encourages growth in the state's industrial economy and workforce through educational initiatives and networking events. RMI head Mike Galiazzo says Goldratt has "transformed many companies to be more competitive. He's really known for his no-nonsense approach, saying basically, 'we're gonna figure out what's holding your company back from growing.'"
"This is a great win for Maryland to have someone of his international stature come to town to do a free presentation for business leaders," Galiazzo adds.
The event is free to the public, but registration is required via www.rmiofmaryland.com.
