Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center launches foundational manufacturing course
- October 4, 2018
- News Release
- Shop Management
The Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center, Plymouth, Mich., has developed a comprehensive, introductory-level Manufacturing Process Development course designed for those new to the manufacturing industry. Spanning two days with four half-day sessions, the course introduces attendees to such topics as quality management systems, problem-solving skills, lean manufacturing, and culture and motivation.
Created in response to the growing workforce challenges facing manufacturers, including lack of interest in manufacturing careers and lack of talent available to fill positions, the course aims to provide a foundational understanding of the processes, approach, and culture needed to run an effective and efficient operation.
“As baby boomers continue to age out of the industry and take their knowledge and expertise with them, this course serves to provide incoming workers with the education necessary to successfully contribute to a manufacturing operation,” said Robert Lyscas, vice president of manufacturing services at the center. “Additionally, this course is fit for those looking to gain a refresher on the basic elements of the industry or employees transitioning to different departments within a manufacturing organization.”
For more information on the course and schedule of upcoming classes, visit www.the-center.org/classes/leadership/manufacturing-process-development.
