Don’t miss Manufacturing Matters! 2008
Manufacturing Matters! is the only conference targeted specifically to the needs of small to midsize Wisconsin manufacturers
U.S.-based manufacturers continue to face deepening challenges. Pressures from the surge in imports from low-wage/high skills countries and the sharp increase in the cost of doing business in the U.S. mean that manufacturing is experiencing a rate and degree of change previously unseen.
The "Next Generation" manufacturer will need to be innovative, technology-driven, lean and agile to adapt to the changing requirements of the global marketplace.
This environment requires knowledge and skills many manufacturers don’t currently possess. Wisconsin manufacturers have for several years focused on becoming more lean in operations. To remain profitable and competitive, you now need to put that freed-up capacity to work.
You need to learn how to not just grow, but to grow smart.
