The Manufacturing Extension Partnership, or MEP, uses innovation engineering in their work with small and medium-sized manufacturers nationwide to help them streamline operations, find new markets and improve global competitiveness. MEP is funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standard & Technology.
Innovation engineering is available nationally through your local MEP partner. In Kansas, that is the Mid-America Manufacturing Technology Center. In Missouri, it is the Missouri Enterprise.
