NIST MEP will host the Fall Update Meeting in Detroit, MI on September 14, 2016. In addition, to the Update Meeting, MEP will be holding its Advisory Board meeting on September 15, 2016, which is open to the public at no additional cost.
The Update Meeting is for center management and staff to gain a better understanding of activities occurring across the system, changes in manufacturing, and how best to position the network to provide these services going forward. It is important to grow the capacity and skill set of the MEP system in order to meet the demand for services and the changing needs of the manufacturers in responding to expanding global competition. These meetings provide participants an opportunity to collaborate, share best practices, and learn about the latest tools, topics, and goals of the MEP system.
