SCC graduates five from state MCP

FRANKLIN - Five area residents recently graduated from the state's Manufacturing Certification Program (MCP) at Southwestern Community College.

Sandra Waldroop and Larry Cline of CR Industries in Franklin, Sandra McClure and Martha Keener of Zickgraf Enterprises in Franklin and Donald Marks, Jr. of Caterpillar in Franklin are among the first students in the state to complete the MCP.

The certification included training in statistical process control, problem solving, measurements and math, manufacturing concepts, teamwork and communications and finance in manufacturing. The graduates received 96 hours of training and scored an 80% or better on each assessment.

"
Meeting people in manufacturing that manufacture different materials than we do and manufacture differently than we do, gave us ideas for change we might want to try," said Waldroop.

Southwestern will offer the MCP again this September.
