To celebrate Halifax Burger Bash, local software developer Andrew Burke is bringing home a talk he’s done at multiple events across North America, featuring burgers, coding, and punk rock. On the modern web, even simple promotional sites can be huge and bloated, weighed down with megabytes of assets, JavaScript, and plugins. This is like the top-heavy music industry of the 1970s–until punk rock came along and changed everything with fast, simple, direct music and a do-it-yourself anarchist aesthetic. Every year Halifax Burger Bash releases a big promotional website, and every year Andrew Burke makes his own unauthorized ultra-lightweight quick reference version of it, in the DIY spirit of punk rock. This wide-ranging talk for a general audience Andrew will: • Explore the surprisingly parallel histories of popular music and computer technology from the mid-1970s to today • Show how much functionality can be wrung out of just a tiny bit of programming • Explain every single line of code in the site–in just 10 minutes! • Offer some practical tips for bringing speed and impact to your own software • Share how punk’s DIY and anti-authoritarian philosophy is still as important as ever

This four-day workshop (delivered virtually over four half-day sessions) helps manufacturers define the critical success factors for designing, implementing, and utilizing a DTO. Using real-world manufacturing examples and an interactive manufacturing case study, participants learn “ready to apply” tips and techniques to model and optimize production processes, supporting operations, product costing, and overall profitability. Key Learning Objectives Learn how to initiate, align, and sustain manufacturing process analysis and modeling to optimize asset and/or labour capacities and utilizations, improve operational planning, and enrich costing and operational budgeting in a manufacturing setting Understand the role of DTO modeling technology using an illustrative Canadian DTO software, Collaborative Business Planning (CBP), for process and cost flow visualization and “what-if” scenario-planning analysis Appreciate the value of analyzing current state and simulating future state manufacturing operations in a collaborative environment to improve profitability and long-term viability of the business Who Should Attend and Why?
