In this session, Rob Keith, Membership & Policy Director at AMERIPEN, will discuss major policy trends: Extended Producer Responsibility, Recycled Content Mandates, and Labeling Laws. He will cover the laws that have already been passed at the state level (how they vary from one another, major pitfalls, opportunities for engagement, etc.) and give some insight into what the rest of 2025 may bring.

Join F4SS in collaboration with AMERIPEN for this virtual roundtable discussion on April 10th at 11:00 AM EST!

Don’t try to boil the ocean. Implementing any new system starts simple with one KPI that has been earmarked for improvement. It’s easy to measure the ROI of production monitoring software when the problems being solved are measurable.

Start with the essential data and actively include your operators in the conversation. Involve them in the feedback process with daily production meetings and fine-tune a dashboard that actually help them (and you) do your jobs.

The journey towards continuous improvement never ends, but it starts with a good workplace culture and a way to measure if you’re going in the right direction.

With over 25 years of manufacturing tech experience, Bryan Sapot, has become a prominent voice on harnessing data to drive continuous improvement and operational excellence.

Join his virtual roundtable session on April 2nd at 1:00 PM EST while he explores "Boosting OEE with Production Monitoring: Best Practices You Need to Know."
