Typical Five-Day Intensive
On-site Training in
Integrated Yield Management Methods

DAY ONE

MORNING

Introduction and Opening Discussion

 
  • Client Kick-Off Meeting
  • Client Presentation on Yield Status & Team Reviews

Client will participate in a detailed discussion of their yield practices and methods, including a review of data and methods . The purpose of presentation is to provide background information to build upon and compare to the IYMM Best Practices . This is a key start to the process of Gap Analysis & Yield Planning

AFTERNOON
Introduction and Opening Discussion
 
  • IYMM Workshop: IYMM Concepts

DAY FIVE

MORNING
Preparation for Afternoon Presentation
  • Final individual & team discussions
  • Dry-run of afternoon presentations
AFTERNOON
Integrated Yield Enhancement Planning
 
  • IYM Executive Summary
  • Feedback on Client Interviews & Gap Analysis
  • Open discussion on yield implementation and action plan

•  The course content and schedule can be altered to meet the Client's needs.

•  Actual client data will be used for analysis and Case Studies.

•  A limited number of follow-up sessions are usually recommended to assist and guide the client to continued yield improvement.
