Pira launches customisable paper and board training for end-users
06 May 2010
Leatherhead, UK, 6 May 2010. Employees who handle or procure paper and board would benefit from personalised training to demystify technical jargon and improve performance, according to Pira International.
Paper and board procurement is a difficult challenge that requires the balancing of demanding technical requirements with best value. For the majority of end users, knowledge of how paper and board products are converted and perform is not necessary or relevant to their day to day use. However for those involved in their purchase and conversion, a professional overview of the manufacture and conversion of paper and board products is critical to ensuring the best delivery of their work.
To support this need Pira has developed an on-site training course to provide an insight into the world of papermaking. The training course is both jargon-free and tailored to meet the specific needs of the client.
The training course provides visual and practical content at a level appropriate to needs of participants. The training course can be carried out on-site to enable all appropriate personnel to attend and if required can be repeated during a 24 hour period to enable shift personnel to be included.
Negotiating and securing the lowest cost is a key challenge for paper buyers but this has to be balanced next to any technical requirements. In this course, participants will gain a complete understanding of the world of paper and board, and the knowledge and technical understanding to achieve best practice for paper procurement.
Workshops are coordinated by Dr Graham Moore, Pira's Strategic Consultant for the Paper sector. He will be supported by Nigel Jopson, Technical Consultant for the Paper sector. Other consultants will provide input in line with the specific needs and requirements of the client.
Paper and Board Training - procurement, storage and handling strategies is available now for £1,995 for up to 10 participants. Full customisation is available - please call for details. For more information, please contact Stephen Hill on +44 (0) 1372 802025
