Working for Oregon
Our vision is to be the principal source of high performance business and technical assistance for Oregon's small to mid-sized manufacturers and the partner of choice for the economic development community. Our emphasis on transforming companies goes beyond the factory floor to create a ripple effect of positive sustainable impact on the business, the workforce, and the community.
Our consultants provide Lean Enterprise training and implementation assistance to a wide variety of industry sectors. We collaborate with the national network of Manufacturing Extension Partnership resource centers in over 400 locations nationwide, providing integrated and standardized services so you can benefit from industry driven best processes and practices.
