Dialogue Continues to Build Manufacturing’s Future
OMEP has heard the manufacturing community’s desire (as expressed through the MESH/FUSE online conversation of this past spring) to focus learning opportunities on productivity through moderated roundtable conversations with their peers. This direction leads OMEP to focus on the elements of productivity (people, technology, and method) in an ongoing program of two roundtables and a symposium. Please save the dates as follows:
• Tuesday, September 24-Roundtable I
• Tuesday, November 5-Roundtable II
• Tuesday, January 14-Manufacturing the Future Summit
Let’s collaborate to make this a rich learning environment for all involved!
