SUMMARY:Love Lean Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Love Lean Workshop\nAs we begin another journey into another new year\, we ask\, “Where are you on your journey through continuous improvement?” Join us for this one-day workshop in Lean 101 for all levels\, if you are new to lean or experienced\, as they may spark new lean ideas. This is a touch\, see\, do workshop! \nIn this Workshop: \nParticipants will learn how to use continuous improvement in a hypothetical work environment. \nWho Should Attend: \nAnyone! This is a basic lean perspective\, and this workshop will allow anyone with experience to use as a refresher or for someone new to lean/continuous improvement an opportunity to touch\, feel and do while working with lean at any level within your organization. \nCost Of Workshop: \nThis one-day workshop totals $99. Please be on the lookout for coupon codes on MassMEP Social (LinkedIn\, FaceBook\, Twitter\, Instagram). \nLocation: \nMassMEP \n27A Midstate Drive Auburn\, MA 01501 Suite 200 \n508-831-7020 \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:State of Manufacturing in Western MA
DESCRIPTION:Pioneer Valley and the rest of Western Massachusetts are renowned for their manufacturing capabilities and knowledge\, especially in plastics and metal fabrication. In fact\, more than 55\,000 people in Western MA work in advanced manufacturing alone! \nJoin FORGE\, Alchemy Group and Western Mass Economic Development Council as we check on the trends and news about manufacturing in this ecosystem. \nThe event will include networking with other leaders in manufacturing in the region\, as well as break out small table discussions on such topics as: \n\nThe advantages of manufacturing localization and how to find and collaborate with local customers\nBest practices and networking with other manufacturers\nResources for Massachusetts-based manufacturers like grants and workforce training\nAdvanced manufacturing FAQs\nProduct and process demonstrations\n\nEvent partners include MassMEP\, MassCEC\, MassDevelopment\, and Mass Technology Collaborative. \nWe hope to see you there! \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Scan To Facility Layout with Functional 3D
DESCRIPTION:  \nMoving into a new building? Expanding your current one? 3D scans can help you increase the efficiency\, speed and accuracy of your facility layout project. \n3D scanning used to be something for science fiction. However\, the technology is quite real and available and offers very real benefits to small and medium-sized manufacturers. \nPolaris MEP has teamed up with 3D scanning specialist Christopher Wilczewski for a series of fast-paced webinars about the applications of 3D scanning in manufacturing. \nThe first “episode” focuses on 3D scanning when modeling or designing a facility layout. Attendees will learn how 3D scanning \n\n     provides significant time savings\,\n     reduces chance of incorrect/missing data and\n     reduces the need for return visits.\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\n1)         Overview of how 3D scanning differs from traditional 2D measurements \n2)         Tips on what needs to be scanned (spoiler alert: not everything needs to be modeled!) \n3)         Understanding of how & why 3D scanning increases efficiency and accuracy (reducing cost and frustration) \n4)         Mini-Success Story: Windmoeller and Hoelscher \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\nOwners\, Founders\, senior executives of RI manufacturing companies\nChief Operations Officers (COOs)\, Operations Managers\, Chief Financial Officers (CFOs)\nFacility move/expansion team members including maintenance and engineering\n\nABOUT THE TRAINER\n \nChristopher Wilczewski is the Founder and CEO of Functional 3D\, a 3D scanning service and consulting company based in Providence\, RI.   The focus of Functional 3D is to bring the value of 3D capture technology without the large upfront costs and time associated with integrating this kind of technology.  Industries supported include commercial construction\, manufacturing\, design and historical preservation with projects as small as a Revolutionary War era flint to as large as a 17-story building in New York City. \nPrior to starting his own firm\, Christopher was an engineer and account manager at FARO Technologies\, one of the leading manufacturers of 3D capture technologies.  There he had the opportunity to learn and develop workflows in various fields and organizations across the US igniting his passion for the technology. \nChristopher is a member of DesignXRI and the Rhode Island Manufacturing Association. \n  \n  \nRegister Here
