The Textile Rental Services Association of America (TRSA), the association for the linen, uniform and facility services industry, will hold its Production Summit and plant tours on 21-22 February 2018 in Anaheim, California. Now in its fifth year, the twice-yearly Summit enables linen, uniform and facility services operators to take home a wealth of ideas for improving performance and production management by meeting with peers and viewing high-productivity plants.
Three of the four facilities to be visited are on the same site: Magic Laundry Services’ 7-acre campus in Montebello, where these operations, each with washer-extractors and tunnel washers, share newly expanded loading docks. Otherwise the three are separate operating plants, dedicated to distinct workflows for hotels’ customer-owned goods (COG).
The other destination is the MODRoto manufacturing plant in La Mirada, where visitors can learn about the moulding techniques that distinguish cart designs as MODRoto personnel describe and demonstrate processes.
Summit general sessions and breakouts examine current industry productivity trends and help attendees hone management and technical skills.
Meeting agenda highlights include a keynote presentation by Lisa Rosser, a military hiring and retention strategist, providing techniques and tips to attract veterans with valuable skills and training. A retired Army Reserve lieutenant colonel, her military career spanned 22 years (active and reserve) including roles in performance management, recruiting, staffing, training and skills development.
Further details can be found at the TRSA website.
