All UK chemical plants are eligible to apply and will receive free lean manufacturing consultation as part of the process.
The award will form part of the annual awards scheme run by the Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and the most improved chemical manufacturer will be selected and announced, together with a shortlist of peers at the IChemE awards dinner in London on Thursday September 29, 2005. Candidate companies have until July 1 to enter.
Says Mark Lewis, PICME chief executive, 'the major challenge for our industry is the rapid uptake of the world class operating practices needed. To encourage all in the industry trying to meet this challenge and to also provide some practical help, PICME is supporting for the first time this year an award through the IChemE. This is designed to encourage those on the improvement journey to persevere. Progress can be difficult and slow but the benefits are crucial to sustainability.'
