Successful SUPDMC Conference Brings In-plants to Auburn

Host Glenda Miley, manager of Auburn's CopyCat operation, planned an action-packed agenda, which included not only educational sessions, but a tour of Vulcan Information Packaging, a game show and a tour of Auburn's Raptor Center.

Sessions at the conference were keyed toward justification reports and how to stay in business. One popular session, by Kodak's Debra Benson, detailed how in-plants can use military strategy to prevail. She based her lessons on Sun Tzu's treatise "The Art of War." Ricoh's Greg Cholmedeley told managers about free Ricoh software they can use to help them write a justification report and prove their value to their parent organizations.
