The 2011 Next Generation Manufacturing Study provides a framework for understanding Next Generation Manufacturing (NGM) by identifying competitive performances and best practices for achieving world-class status in the 21st century. This biennial survey is conducted by the Manufacturing Performance Institute (MPI) with the American Small Manufacturers Coalition (ASMC), an association of manufacturing extension centers that work to improve the innovation and productivity of America's manufacturing community. One ASMC program of primary focus is the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) program.
