Welcome to the premiere issue of The MAC Action Newsline, the newsletter that covers the business of manufacturing in Massachusetts. Running a manufacturing business requires attention to countless details. But to compete in this new, global economy, you must pay attention to the entire business process — from front office marketing and accounting, to back end inventory management. This newsline from The Manufacturing Advancement Center is here to guide you in your quest for continuous improvement…throughout the enterprise. Feel free to forward this issue to interested colleagues.
