Becoming the Next Generation Manufacturer

Wednesday, July 20 from 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.

Session Code: WE25

Track: Business Management

Speaker: Zenagui Brahim, New Hampshire Mfg. Extension Partnership

This session examines the results and strategies of the Next Generation Manufacturing Study conducted of 2,500 U.S. manufacturers, by the Manufacturing Performance Institute for the American Small Manufacturers Coalition. The study refers to a framework that will drive manufacturing growth in the 21st century, based on world-class performance strategies. Particular attention will be given where key indicators reflect a growing gap between current performances and what will be required to reach world-class level. The audience will be engaged in the discussion of steps to take for advancing their level of performance in each of several world-class strategies, such as customer-based innovation, engaged-talent management and other proven methods.
