Download the PDF version 1999-2000 Annual Report to the Executive Committee 1. Further growth is projected for manufacturing for the first five years of the 21st century. However, the number of companies is expected to seriously decline.
Survival is the paramount concern for manufacturers.
Employers and employees are pushed to adopt new technologies and processing coming on-line. They no longer have the leisure to acquire the tools, establish new routines and train their workforces sequentially. Today's smaller manufacturer is required to be agile, globally competitive, forward-looking and able to reinvent itself every few years in order to remain in business. CACTs deliver customized training, education, and advanced technical seminars that provide enhanced workforce skills, increased operational performance, and technology development that contribute to a continuous learning environment. Initial on-site assessments are without obligation and are available to any of the 57,000 manufacturers in California.
