This intensive 3 day session is designed for individuals who are operationally focused such as Superintendents, Machine Managers, Process Engineers or other leaders. The course material, which is used to facilitate discussion, also makes this training extremely valuable for Pulp operations leaders with a non-machine background. Class size is limited to maximize discussion and interactions.
Tuition and learning materials, lodging in Greenville, SC and all meals are included, as well as some social events in the evenings to allow for networking and informal roundtables.
