SMMT Industry Forum has however
assisted many of the Adaptors in varying ways, from training
the sector engineers employed by the adaptor, providing project
management expertise in establishing the sector Industry Forum
or by undertaking pilot and demonstrator programmes for them
based on MasterClass or Real Time Workshop.
SMMT Industry Forum had worked directly with
the Metals Industry Forum (MICE), the Ceramics Industry, the
Chemicals & Process Industry (PICME – Process Industry
Centre for Manufacturing Excellence), Construction Equipment
Association, Construction Industry and the Red Meat Industry
Forum.

A full list of the current
Industry Forum Adaptors can be found on the Fit
for the Future website. |
Whilst
not all these so-called “Adaptors” model themselves
on the tried and tested automotive Industry Forum it is quite
clear that they share the adherence to the Common Approach pioneered
by the automotive sector and crucially are industry or sector
led.
