IOM Scotland has been officially relaunched at a very successful evening event that was greatly enjoyed by everyone who attended. A big thank-you must go to all members who took the trouble to express their interest in attending the launch and future Regional events. 

The success of the evening was in no small way down to the standard of the topical and informative presentations given by: Dr Neil Towers, Regional Chairman; followed by Leonie Edwards, Manager – IOM, who gave an update on national IOM activities and links with CILT; and finally Steve Graham, Managing Director, Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Service, who spoke about the Scottish Office and the funded work it is carrying out, with some striking results. 

The evening event also included a working session, which proved to be very insightful. Rest assured that the board has taken away a host of actions that will be followed through. 

The Region is currently planning a range of networking and knowledge-sharing events and will issue a full diary schedule as soon as dates and locations have been confirmed. We are very interested in hearing from companies that have an operations management story to tell, and that in doing so can help us host an event. This could either be a minor event, such as a simple site visit, sharing operations management practices, or a major event involving guest speakers and topical debate on current themes in operations management. We would naturally lead the planning and communication on all of these events. Perhaps: 

-  Your company is proud of its practices and willing to share 
-  There is an interest to learn more about operations management 
- You want to talk about past, present or potential members in your organisation 
- You have access to a great venue with a mutual interest in operations management 

If you can help us, please get in touch. We would also welcome and appreciate your ideas for making IOM Scotland events successful. Let us know which topics interest you.

Chair – IOM Scotland
