In addition to the process improvement initiatives, companies will learn about resources that can help them with automotive technology, plant maintenance, new hires, training, health and safety regulations, exporting, worker’s compensation cost control and other general business counseling. The event is free and will last from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.
