Changing World study Webcast is March 25
A look at how change is affecting manufacturing worldwide
Bob Vavra
It's a time of evolution and revolution in global manufacturing. There are economic, social, cultural and political issues affecting the way manufacturers work in today's expanding, competitive landscape. For the plant manager, it comes down to one word:
Change.
In conjunction with IBM and Hannover Messe, Plant Engineering conducted a worldwide study about the challenges, issues and technologies impacting manufacturing today. The Changing World of the Plant Engineer will look at the stark differences and surprising similarities that plant management faces in today's evolving global economy. Attend this webcast and hear the results from the study and the implications for the future of manufacturing.
The results of that study will be discussed by Plant Engineering editor Bob Vavra and Mary Bunzel, worldwide industry leader for manufacturing for IBM's Maximo division, at a Webcast Thursday, March 25 at 1 p.m. Central. To register for this Webcast, click here.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
