Our
Mission
Kansas
City Manufacturing Network provides a forum for manufacturers and their
direct suppliers to exchange non-proprietary information, learn from
experts in manufacturing, and share business experiences.
Our
Organization
Kansas
City Manufacturing Network was established in 1993, and has been managed
by the Overland Park office of MAMTC since 1995. The direction of KCMN is set by a committee
of member representatives in collaboration with our sponsor, supporting members and associate members.
Membership
is limited to manufacturers and their direct suppliers. Dues are $300.00,
renewed yearly. A manufacturing company can attend 1 roundtable as
our guest to learn more about the Network.
Our
Services
KCMN
has developed resources to benefit its members by presenting:
RoundtablesThese
regularly scheduled meetings feature speakers who can address the manufacturing
community, provide opportunities for networking and establish a forum
for problem solving that is unique for local manufacturers. There is
no charge to members for roundtables, and member companies have unlimited attendance
privileges (space allowing).
Plant
ToursCompanies
that have a special grasp of a manufacturing technology or technique
open their doors to our members to share their operations and experiences.
Plant tour attendance is for member companies, and is limited
by the host plant. Tours are scheduled when roundtable topics mesh with
the capabilities of local manufacturers.
Executive
WorkshopsScheduled
as indicated throughout the year, these workshops examine a roundtable
topic in greater depth and are geared to company management. There is
usually a charge to cover materials costs and fees.
