Abstract
A programme-manager's view of how publicly funded manufacturing assistance reaches a small shop, tracing the chain from the Department of Commerce through NIST's Manufacturing Extension Partnership to California Manufacturing Technology Consulting and on to the California Applied Competitive Technologies centre at Cerritos College. Ray Elledge sets out the guideline structure behind the CMTC-Cerritos relationship – assisting the state's manufacturers, pursuing cooperative efforts with business partners to build expertise and training, and sharing resources between the two organisations – and what the centre offers in metrology and manufacturing training.
