EMPOWER YOUR TEAM WITH SYSTEM KNOWLEDGE

PMPA’s Mastery Program consists of two bus tours which provide an unparalleled experience!  PMPA member and non-member contract manufacturers will see the precision machining supply chain, receive two valuable reference books and instruction from industry expert, Miles Free III and David Wynn. Develop your team. 

RECEIVE

• Instruction from industry expert, Miles Free III David Wynn.
• Two books filled with invaluable reference materials: What You Should Know about STEEL and the Craftsman Cribsheet Collection.

Who should attend?

Engineers, machinists, purchasing agents, operations, owners.
If the people responsible and having the authority to solve problems are more knowledgeable about their sources and their processes, they can use their judgement to better understand the likelihood and unlikelihood of the issues they face being due to a supplier, or in their own process.

WHAT WILL YOU SEE?

Bucci Industries
Barloading of our automatic machines is a critical capability often taken for granted. Learn  how this under-appreciated automation solution-  and other automation technologies- can  improve your productivity, reduce setup, idle time and labor 

Dixon Quick Coupling 
Focus on manufacturing safe connections for flow control ensures that you will see manufacturing systems and procedures set up for long runs and consistent performance despite a high mix of parts produced.

Marcegaglia Stainless
Stainless steel processing including heat treatment and cold drawing have the greatest impact on our machining operations. See what happens at the mill to make it happen right in your operations for your applications.

Nucor Cold Finish, parent company of Laurel Steel
See how Electric Arc Furnace continuous casting converts scrap steel into billet, hotrolled bars, minimizing energy and emissions. Then see how hot rolled bars are cold finished to optimize performance in our precision machining operations.

– Registration is limited to contract manufacturers (PMPA members or non-members).  
– Registration is not transferable — to benefit from the program, the same person must attend both tours.
