Operations management staff may want to contribute to Red Tape ChallengeThe government's Red Tape Challenge turns to the manufacturing sector next week to seek feedback about which regulations should be retained and which scrapped.

Individuals, including operations management professionals, are being invited to submit responses to the consultation in a bid to reduce the administrative burden on companies in a range of sectors of the UK economy.

The production part of the Red Tape Challenge commences on July 21st 2011 and runs until August 11th, when the media and creative services sector will become the focus of the exercise.

According to the Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS), individuals in the sector should take advantage of the scheme.

"The Red Tape Challenge really is a rare opportunity for manufacturers to have their say on the regulations that affect them," MAS national network manager Neale Ryan said.

Gestamp business development and commercial manager Mark Potts added that while some rules should be maintained in order to promote best practice, others do not deliver "any obvious benefits" and should be removed.

Once the consultation ends, the government will have three months to examine legislation and decide which regulations will be retained and why.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800623458-ADNFCR
