Whether you have a tier one manufacturing contract with the Department of Defense, or you’ve been subcontracted to make gaskets all the way down the supply chain, you will soon be required to meet the standards of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification.

Join speakers Cory Albrecht, Everton H. Henriques and Paul LaPorte for an introductory conversation on cybersecurity at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, September 22.

What You’ll Learn:

What cybersecurity myths have you fallen for?
What misconceptions may you have?
How can you be proactive, not reactive?
An introduction to Mohawk Valley Community College and FuzeHub’s 2020 Cybersecurity Assistance Grant. This opportunity will allow DoD manufacturers in NYS to join a Cohort, where participants will learn how to become compliant with the DFARS clause based on the NIST SP 800-171 document requirements, as well as to become familiar with the CMMC. From the cohort, eligible DoD manufacturers will have the opportunity to receive funding to be used towards a personalized cybersecurity assessment.
Our expert speakers will show your company how to begin readying yourself to meet these standards and what resources are available to those who need further assistance making the grade.

This webinar is part one of a five-part series hosted by Mohawk Valley Community College’s Advanced Institute for Manufacturing and FuzeHub.

This course navigates participants through the statistical tools of Minitab’s most recent version so that they may comfortably manipulate data and solve problems, thereby strengthening quality improvement efforts.

As a manufacturer, when one of your suppliers has an issue getting you components, it can create problems. When that problem gets compounded by a global pandemic, the results can be catastrophic. Whether it’s your direct supplier, or second, third, or forth tier suppliers, the issue is further intensified as other manufacturers are demanding the same parts or services. That’s the state of affairs we’re currently experiencing in this pandemic. More and more companies are looking to add new vendors to their supply chain, and the question becomes how can you validate suppliers and make sure your final selection will help to mitigate future risk?

For many NY manufacturers, it has never been more evident that offshoring products can carry a great deal of cost and risk. Nationally renowned reshoring expert, Harry Moser, will discuss the benefits of reshoring and calculating your product’s total cost of ownership. He will show that 20 to 30% of what is now imported would be produced or sourced here more profitably. Tune in to find the tools to help you source smarter and also sell smarter when competing with imports.

What You Will Learn:

• Why manufacturing more products in the US really can be the best economic decision for your company.
• What factors contribute to your product’s TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
• How to pick products to reshore
• How to find and sell to new customers who import what you produce

Any manufacturing company currently in operation has been subject to a number of COVID-related issues including risky supply chain to enhanced employee safety requirements to uncertain distribution channels. But for manufacturers in the Food & Beverage industry, there is an additional health component that puts their operations at even greater risk. This event will offer manufacturers an opportunity to network and share successes and best practices, followed by experts sharing insights on how Food & Beverage manufacturers can navigate through various pandemic-related issues and get access to the necessary resources they need.

As part of the Jeff Lawrence Innovation Fund, FuzeHub will hold its fourth New York State Commercialization Competition on November 18 & 19, 2020. Companies will compete virtually to demonstrate the commercialization potential of their technology or product and can win up to $50,000.

When life throws you lemons, you make lemonade. But when life throws you a pandemic, what do you do? For manufacturers, you have to figure out how to deal with supplier issues and changing market requirements. This could mean redesigning your product to utilize different materials or address new customer needs, or it could mean you have to reuse and remanufacture components in order to meet demand. The current manufacturing landscape is extremely dynamic, and developing some product workarounds can help navigate the crisis.

So your manufacturing operation was chugging along just fine, then COVID hit. Do any of these sound familiar? • Your supply chain was torn to shreds • Your customer base dried up (non-essential businesses) • Your distribution network shifted their focus to critical items like PPE • You were forced to make cuts to your workforce Now businesses are opening back up and you’re scrambling to get things going again. This event will feature a virtual networking session that lets NY manufacturers share some of their recovery effort “best practices,” then we’ll here pertinent lessons from industry experts about resources that can help you get back to business.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed one thing to manufacturers, it how unprepared most of us were for such an event. Companies producing everything from PPE and ventilators to anti-bacterial wipes and toilet paper were forced to react with little to no warning. The best lesson we can all take away from this is that, going forward, we should all take a much more proactive and strategic approach to running our businesses.
