Techniques to Increase Professionalism, Decrease Downtime

The program teaches a variety of techniques that empower laundry personnel to create more effective, efficient maintenance practices. Participation fosters their professional relationships with colleagues and the foremost engineering experts.

When attendees arrive at each MMI, they note issues or problems they face in their plants that the MMI class can discuss and advise on solving.
