Article Type: Food facts From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 39, Issue 1
Four Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) have announced they are joining forces to secure the future of the UK manufacturing and engineering sectors through the Productivity and Competitiveness (PAC) programme. The PAC Programme has been formed by leading engineers who have pooled their core techniques in lean process and manufacturing to create a new and different approach specifically designed to help smaller companies.
The alliance of SSCs, called the Manufacturing Skills Alliance (MSA), is made up of: Cogent, the SSC for the Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, Oil and Gas, Nuclear, Petroleum and Polymer Industries Improve, the SSC for the Food and Drink Manufacturing Industry Proskills, the SSC for the Building Products, Coatings, Extractives, Furniture, Glass, Paper and Printing Manufacturing and Processing Industries Semta, the SSC for Science, Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies.
