Sign up today for the MMEC Lean Manufacturing Workshop/Simulation and get a comprehensive introduction to manufacturing principles that can improve your company's bottom line and sustainability plus your ability to compete effectively. It's a stop that will start or re-energize your journey to a more Lean manufacturing operation.

MMEC clients have avoided costly plant expansions and become more able to take on new orders by applying the concepts of Lean. Employee morale goes up and quality improves. Couple those gains with great on-time delivery rates and happy customers and your Lean initiatives will continue! This workshop consists of a combination of interactive classroom presentations and discussion tied to an actual manufacturing operation simulation that creates an irreplaceable ahhh-ha moment. Meet Special Guest: Buzz from Buzz Electronics.

What's more, studies have shown that employees who apply what they learn in training are 60% more likely to retain and benefit from that learning! This course is no exception. Participants will experience how systematic analysis and manufacturing improvements improve bottom line profitability.
