USER GROUPS

User Groups are inter-firm learning groups focusing on implementation of Best Practices. User groups are designed for small manufacturers and consist of 5-10 companies committed to an extended process of shared learning on a specific, focused topic. This format lowers company costs. Companies learn from peers, one-on-one assistance, tours, shared tools and techniques, and lecture. Most groups meet every four to six weeks for a predetermined number of sessions.
