Plant Managers are interested in making their plants run better yet they also want to reinforce how to run their plants more profitably (the business perspective); the “why’s” and not just the “how’s.”

So our Managers Exchange will include some business-focused sessions including “Operations Overview” and “ROI” (Return on Investment).

Participants in the managers exchange will participate in tours of our manufacturing facilities but the majority of their learning will be gained from interacting with our presenters and fellow participants in our Training & Technology Center and evening venues.

A valuable component of this Exchange is the time spent learning from and sharing knowledge with industry peers from across North America.

Learning Highlights:

  • Hot mix Asphalt Industry changes and trends which require Plant Response / Modifications.
  • Tuning Plant Asphalt Automation to achieve 100% End Results and Project Bonus Pay.
  • Importance of Combustion and Air Systems to Achieve Production Rates.
