Manufacturing productivity will drive the economic recovery of our state and nation so it is critical that the industrial sector be well-prepared and well-resourced in the effort to scale up operations.

Successfully restarting will require a collaborative effort with suppliers, critical service providers and trusted experts to support Michigan's manufacturing industry. If your company is uniquely positioned to offer your products and services to support manufacturers as they work to bring the industry back to full strength, MMA wants to connect you through our new Best Practices for Operating Safety and Productively, which will provide guidance for worker safety procedures and highlight member companies that can support manufacturers as they reopen for greater levels of production. Possible areas of focus include:

• Personal Protective Equipment
• Industrial Hygiene
• Employee Screening
• Talent Acquisition and Training
• IT Solutions
• Social Distancing Solutions
• Process Improvement
• Business Consulting
• Legal Services
• Supply Chain Management
• HR and Employee Communications

If you would like your company to be included in MMA Best Practices for Operating Safely and Productively and if you have ideas for areas of focus, please MMA's Delaney McKinley at mckinley@mimfg.org or 517-487-8530.
