Lean
manufacturing is helping manufacturers survive. However, their continued
survival may depend on their ability to extend their newfound
competitiveness
to the way they take their products to market, through the supply
chain and ultimately to the customer. Often, this means an extension
of CI
initiatives. CI is now more than an initiative - it's a way of doing
business. Bring your customers and seek means to not only survive
but thrive in 2005!

WMMA has negotiated a room rate of $99.00 at:
