EMC (Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium) is gathering interest from manufacturers interested in hosting plant tours this fall. These tours are a great opportunity to showcase your facility, processes, and capabilities to fellow manufacturers and industry professionals.

In addition to highlighting what your organization does well, attendees are encouraged to share observations on things they find particularly impressive, as well as opportunities for improvement. It’s a valuable way to gain “fresh eyes” and constructive feedback from peers in the industry.

If you’ve ever considered opening your doors to fellow manufacturers, this is a great opportunity to do so. Please contact the region’s Manufacturing Consortium Manager Leah Nacua if you’re interested in hosting at [email protected].
