East Midlands Region Students’


A paper has been written by the Regional Team concerning a potential future IMS strategy, as perceived from the East Midlands.


It is envisaged that a discussion meeting will be convened with some Council Members at which the detail of the above paper will be further analysed in a constructive and co-operative manner. The Team hopes that this will initiate further progressive action to the


benefi t of all concerned. The meeting has been agreed in principle although, due to holidays and other commitments, the date and location have not yet been fi nalised; it will most likely take place in late March/April. A series of visits to places of interest is being planned and details will be published soon on the website.

Ian Francis, from Manufacturing Engineering Processes, Core Industrial Engineering Team at Samlesbury, has stated: “To meet the increasing focus on cost-based activities on our programmes, we have introduced the IMS Certifi cate for all industrial engineers (IE), both core and programme based. “Recognising the certifi cate as the industry standard, and providing this fundamental IE training, is a very good way forward to improve the stature, credibility


and professional status of the individual IEs in the discipline. This requirement has been incorporated into our IE policy, plans and governance processes to underpin this important discipline in the organisation. “We are delighted to have undertaken this work with Scott-Grant Ltd for our IE needs and appreciate their efforts in helping us achieve our objectives.” Mike Seaman, Scott-Grant’s Training


and Technical Director, said: “We’ve worked with BAE Systems for many years, providing training courses as well as project and contract specialist personnel. “BAE Systems’ personnel have attended both our in-company and open courses in a number of subjects, including Productivity Analyst, using both Time Study and MOST®. That BAE Systems recognises the IMS Certifi cate as the industry standard qualifi cation is an excellent move forward. It endorses our commitment to encouraging people to derive the short and long term benefi ts of being qualifi ed productivity professionals.”
