As these new standards gain acceptance, they will impact and improve your manufacturing operation. This session will better prepare you to benefit by these evolving changes. Learn from those who helped to create these new concepts and approaches. As Workshop Facilitator, Dave Chappell will share his comprehensive knowledge of Make2Pack standards in an optimum learning environment.
