VISION
NIST MEP is a catalyst for strengthening American manufacturing –
accelerating its ongoing transformation into a more efficient and powerful
engine of innovation driving economic growth and job creation.
MISSION
To act as a strategic advisor to promote business growth and connect
manufacturers to public and private resources essential for increased
competitiveness and profitability.

The NIST MEP Program in Short . . . Program started in 1988, with at least one center in all 50 states by
1996
59 centers with over 370 field locations
System wide, Non-Federal staff is over 1,450
Contracting with over 2,190 third party service providers
Partnership Model – Federal/State/Industry
NIST MEP System budget ~ $300M
1/3 Federal, 2/3 State and Industry (fees for services)
Program started because of “market failures” in terms of access to information, technical expertise and cost. Subsequent study in 2003 by NAPA reconfirmed the continued existence of these market failures.
Emphasis on performance – program and center – measured based upon impact of center services on client firms.

Focus on meeting manufacturer’s short term needs, but in context of overall
company strategy
NIST MEP Center areas of common strength:
Engineering Services for products and processes
Growth Services – new or expanded market opportunities
Lean Manufacturing
Quality Systems
Environmental Services
Workforce Development
Reach nearly 33,000 manufacturing firms and complete over 10,000 projects
per year*
*Based on FY2009 NIST MEP Center reported performance data.

Technology Acceleration Approach
U.S. Manufacturers
Technology
based growth
& competitive-
ness needs
Technologies
available for
commercialization
from the nation’s
research laboratories
(universities, Federal
labs, private sources
MEP is accelerating technology
deployment and utilization by
getting the needs of U.S.
manufacturers to Technology
Sources and getting new
technologies translated into
real-world product concepts by:
Connecting manufacturers
with solutions & opportunities
Providing development &
commercialization assistance
Leveraging 3rd party partners

Supplier Scouting
Purpose: Enhance business opportunities for U.S. manufacturers by connecting their capabilities, capacities with supply needs of government agencies and OEMs
Pilot Initiative Began 2009
Partners – VA/NavAir, DOE, DOT, NIST, DLA Scouted over 150 items, identifying almost 300 capable
and interested U.S. manufacturers for $20 million of an estimated $48 million total Buy America/n opportunities Next Steps: Review and analyze pilot results and
consider expanding and scaling up nationwide capacity and opportunity

Technology Scouting (TS) / Technology Driven Market Intelligence (TDMI)
Purpose: Help companies find and/or sell products based on new technologies
Technology Scouting - Identifies enabling technologies for specific target
applications
Technology-Driven Market Intelligence - Analyzes technology-specific
perspective of industry/adoption and market requirements
Initial Program Development began in 2008
Impacts / Data
NIST MEP Center Capability: 38 Centers
Next Steps: Combination of Train, Mentor and Deliver model is being
implemented to fortify system capacity and business model for Centers, Partners
and Industry.

Purpose: Lean Product Development provides a step-by-step methodology for integrating
the powerful waste-eliminating tools of lean product development into any product
development process.
Lean Product Development methods and principles target:
- time to market,
- portfolio management,
- design and development resources,
- new product cost challenges.
Began January 2007
135 Client projects
NIST MEP Center Capability: 38 Centers
50% reduction in launch schedules, dramatic improvements in gross margin and
enhanced customer satisfaction.
Next Steps: Combination of Train, Mentor and Deliver model is being implemented
to fortify system capacity and business model for Centers, Partners and Industry.
Lean Product Development
October 23, 2012 UEDA Conference
M A N U F A C T U R I N G E X T E N S I O N P A R T N E R S H I P
Purpose: A coordinated federal and local technical assistance initiative among U.S. federal
agencies, State partners and communities to grow sustainability, productivity, and
innovation for manufacturers and the communities that they serve.
Five Agency MOU Signed October 20, 2010 (DOC, DOE, DoL, EPA and SBA) – USDA
became sixth partner in 2012.
To date, E3 efforts across the nation have identified:
$20.3 Million in Lean Savings
$10.0 Million in Environmental Savings
$9.1 Million in Energy Savings
200 Jobs Created or Retained
Next Steps: E3 engagements are currently underway at 13 MEP Centers, with discussions
and planning underway among 7 more.
