Working in tandem with the UH’s existing knowledge transfer partnership programmes, a series of production management workshops has been scheduled to allow companies to not only see where their business could benefit, but also how to avoid many of the cost traps associated with implementing traditional ERP/MRP systems.
The workshops are held at the Hatfield campus and run for half a day. In this time attendees have an opportunity to see the 123insight system in action, as well as understand how the UH’s knowledge transfer partnerships can benefit their business and staff.

We can see the opportunities for using this tool as we support local companies in our Knowledge Transfer Programmes.”
Guy Amoroso, Managing Director of 123 Insight Limited, added; “I am delighted to be working with the University of Hertfordshire, providing support to their local manufacturing community and university teaching programmes. 123insight is an innovative and compelling case for manufacturers to make real business improvements and productivity gains, without any of the disadvantages, normally associated with traditional business systems.”
