1.	Manufacturing Extension Partnership MEP is a nationwide network of not-for-profit Centers in over 400 locations nationwide, whose sole purpose is to provide small and medium-sized manufacturers with the help they need to succeed. The Centers, serving all 50 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, are linked together through the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology. That makes it possible for even the smallest firms to tap into the expertise of knowledgeable manufacturing and business specialists all over the U.S. These are people who have had experience on manufacturing floors and in plant operations. They've been where you are today. And they've lived to tell about it! Each Center has the ability to assess where your company stands today, to provide technical and business solutions, to help you create successful partnerships, and to help you keep learning through seminars and training programs. It is the special combination of each Center's local expertise and their access to national resources that really makes a difference in the work we can do for your company. Since we've been out there -- rolling up our sleeves and working side by side with manufacturers -- we've assisted more than 75,000 firms. Here are some examples where we've helped them and can help you: -eBusiness solution-lean enterprise-sustainable manufacturing approaches -quality management systems -business management systems -employee training and retention -new product and market development -materials engineering -energy efficiency -financial planning *URL:* http://www.mep.nist.gov *Rate this site!* Previous Clearinghouse users rated this site
