Best Practices Visits & Hot Topics Speaker Series

Best Practices Visits

TSMA members are invited to tour manufacturing plants that exhibit “best practices” in any number of different areas including Lean manufacturing, sustainable business practices, innovation, etc.  

What are best practices visits?

The BPV program gives company decision makers the opportunity to observe operations and processes in other manufacturing environments.  These visits showcase the innovative practices of those who have been identified as successful problem-solvers and allow TSMA members the opportunity to draw upon their expertise and experience.  

Next Visit: Our next plant tour will be Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at OFS Brands in Huntingburg, IN.  We are accepting registrations for the tour on a first-come, first-served basis; TSMA Corporate members will be given first priority.
