The Manufacturers Alliance Plant Management Council Meeting provides a roundtable forum for senior plant managers to share best practices around a variety of issues. Hear about the latest topics of interest to today’s Plant Managers: Automation, recruiting, training, safety, supply chain, quality, logistics and more. Our semiannual meetings will focus on roundtable dialogue among peers from leading manufacturers.

Our fall meeting is being hosted by Graco on September 23-25, in Rogers, MN. After our fall meeting takes place, we are offering an optional plant tour of Graco. In the warehouse, they have both manual and automated pick pack and all ship operations. In the factory, they do assembly, milling, turning, Swiss, grinding, saw, honing, injection molding, painting, parts washing, inspection, automated assembly and machining, automation integration, maintenance and tool build.
