Membership Committees & Councils

As a CAMPS memeber we highly suggest that you take advantage of a great membership benefit. Participate on a Membership Council, be a part of the development of CAMPS and assist in carrying out the CAMPS Mission.

Innovation Council

Development of a CENTER FOR INNOVATION. This center is designed to provide members with an Agile Product Development and Manufacturing Process Development Program. The goal is to enable multiple company participation, leveraging company specific niche capabilities into a consolidated manufacturing program, and ease "speed-to-market" of products while being highly cost competitive. This council will be an advisory body reviewing and recommending the priorities of the Agile Product Development and Manufacturing Process Development Program.

Supply Chain Council

In 2008, CAMPS members identified the alternative energy markets as the focus of the Innovation Data Base and Supply Chain Development Program. The initial focus is on the Solar, Wind, and smart grid infrastructure sectors. Data base development is underway and supply chain capabilities training is scheduled for first quarter in 2009. This council will be an advisory body reviewing and recommending the priorities in the selection of key partnerships and market penetration.

Workforce Council

Workforce shortages continue to be one of the most pressing issues confronting small and medium size manufacturers. there is a national shortage of skilled manufacturing workers and applicants. The Workforce Council will assist in the promotion of manufacturing careers to high schools, veteran groups, immigrants, and to underemployed workforce entrants. The second goal will be the further development of the Structured On-the-job (SOJT) Program. The objective of the SOJT Program is to provide on-site training programs on company owned basic through advanced technology manufacuring equipment and processes.
