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.
