3.1: Business Practices
Collect and disseminate data and information related to high performance business practices, expand MEP advisory services,
and improve the effectiveness of MEP Centers.
Other Information:
Given a stable federal funding base and the current distribution of Centers, MEP will continue to develop and deploy shared
programs and resources that will increase the breadth, depth, and effectiveness of services delivered by the MEP manufacturing
and business experts. MEP also will deploy best practices in performance-based management to improve the performance and effectiveness
of MEP Centers. MEP also can broaden its scope of services by leveraging NIST’s laboratory capabilities and competencies.
Potential avenues for expanding the scope of services include but are not limited to: utilizing NIST expertise in networking
technologies; evaluating new IT-based process technologies; learning about and managing new production process technologies
and related standards issues; advising on technical issues relating to clean production materials and similar factors driven
by environmental regulatory considerations; and adopting efficient building environment systems and advanced materials.
