SME Speaks
Most importantly, Knowledge Edge helps companies meet their objectives. Of- fering content that covers fundamental manufacturing process to lean/continuous improvement resources, management insights and manufacturing leadership, it’s a rapid, ready resource that offers just-in-time delivery of information when it’s needed. Knowledge Edge content—along with all of Tooling U-SME education and training resources—is also mapped to various manufacturing competency models, ensuring a multimedia, holistic approach to guarantee the manufacturing workforce has the resources needed to deliver on their performance objectives. The launch of Knowledge Edge aligns with SME’s 2017 Strategic Direction and new vision, mission and purpose. It is just one of the ways in which Tooling U-SME is supporting its customers in all of their efforts. The introduction of Knowledge Edge only adds to the excitement surrounding all of SME’s and Tooling U-SME’s continued efforts to advance manufacturing and attract future generations into the art of mak- ing things.
