Hello My name is Karl Klemm. I am a student at Worcester Polytechnic
Institute. I am doing a project on technology transfer. My group is
looking at the specific case of the transfer of the EMC program to small
and medium sized manufacturers. We are trying to find out how the EMC
technology has affected SME's.

Please take a moment to fill out our survey. I have put it inline as well
as included as a MS Word document. You can send the completed survey to
me: kklemm@...

Thankyou very much for your time.

ABSTRACT:
This study of the effects that the EMC program has made on your company

currently researching the EMC program in Small to Medium sized
Manufacturers (SME). The results will be integrated in the final
effectiveness of EMC.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Below are a few questions that will enable this study to get a better
understanding on how EMC has effected the production and effectiveness of
your company. Answer the questions with a sentence, or a yes or no. In the
remarks section feel free to add any other information that will help this
study.

Q1. How has EMC affected the overall production time and rate per piece?
