The Metrolina Lean Alliance is a
membership-based group of Charlotte - Rock Hill area manufacturing companies that share best practices in Lean techniques and principles by opening their plants to each other to study and learn how to more effectively implement Lean tools.

The alliance holds monthly “events” at the member plants, typically observing Lean techniques at the host plant.

After touring a facility, a group
discussion is facilitated to identify strengths observed during the tour as well as opportunities for improvement. This discussion gives the host plant valuable objective feedback.

Special events are also held such as seminars and chartered tours of best-practice manufacturers.

Members are required to pay dues, host an event about once a year, and participate in SCMEP's annual survey administered by NIST.
