This session will help you understand your company's capabilities to cross over to multiple industry markets. Hear from representatives in the Water, Aero Space & Energy sectors on what they seek in suppliers, and how to participate in the Supply Chain Marketplace. Technology is a key to success in today's dynamic manufacturing environment. The UW-Stout MOC and WMEP will describe two powerful solutions that leverage technology. Tech Scouting helps manufacturers find/adopt advanced technologies that create competitive advantage, and Technology Drive Market Intelligence helps manufacturers find new markets for their unique technology-based capabilities. If you're a manufacturer, chances are you generate recyclable waste. And if that by-product is scrap metal, you want to be sure it's going to the right place for the right price. The experts from Sadoff Iron & Metal will focus on what to look for in a recycling program: periodic review of your operations, optimal work centers, segregation of materials by size and grade, as well as pricing formulas that consider accountability of each transaction. The HCCW Advanced Manufacturing Training Initiative is a private-public partnership designed to address the growing skilled worker shortage in the State of Wisconsin in a manner that engages the underserved and underutilized low to moderate income (LMI) individuals. This highly successful initiative is training and deploying graduates ready to fill vacant manufacturing positions. Learn more about the initiative and the magnitude of the problem in this informative session.
