June 3, 2009 - PRLog -- The companies will  showcase cost saving initiatives and efficiency improvement solutions adopted successfully by their companies which assist in ensuring they continue to be competitive in today’s challenging environment.  ‘Engineering Out Costs’ is attracting an engineering attendance from over sixty manufacturers from the Northwest, West and Midlands.

Professor Terri Scott, President, IT Sligo commented: “Innovation is the key to success in challenging times. IT Sligo is delighted to partner with LotusWorks in hosting this seminar which showcases examples of engineering innovation across Ireland’s most iconic companies.  As the largest third level education provider in the region IT Sligo is taking a leadership role in promoting innovation. We will collaborate with industry and support agencies to promote an enterprise culture to maximise the potential for growth across the region”.

Connor Flanagan MD Lotus Technical Services stated: ‘For two decades now, Lotus Technical Services has been delivering outsourced engineering services to the manufacturing and process industries here in Ireland & the U.S. We understand the challenges faced by manufacturing companies and assist by delivering solutions to help meet those challenges. Despite the size or scale of the company, remaining competitive and cost efficient is a shared common goal of manufacturing organisations today, we realised there is value in organising a seminar on engineering cost reduction solutions. Taking into account the current economic climate, this event presents an opportunity for engineering personnel to share practices and ideas, to network and to perhaps gain new information on how best to remain competitive and reduce costs. Local manufacturers will benefit from the expertise of larger multinational manufacturers”

Niall McEvoy, Technology Transfer and Innovation Manager at IT Sligo commented ‘The School of Engineering at IT Sligo includes the largest Online School of Engineering in Ireland.  This event in partnership with LotusWorks brings local and international technical expertise to businesses in the North West.  It ensures that engineering work practices are innovative and cost effective maintaining positive bottom line figures.  LotusWorks is an example of a company set up in Sligo that has grown internationally and this seminar sees them bringing some of the benefits home to other engineering companies in the North West”
