MWP – The online and magazine resource for production engineers

 

 

MWP – formerly known as Metalworking Production – is not just about metal cutting and metal forming machine tools and processes.

 

There is now so much more for today’s production and manufacturing engineer, whether it be business or technology news, updates on products and services or production installations, management and technology features, or notification of exhibitions, conferences and open house events.

 

Historically, the job of MWP has been to provide a communication channel between users and providers of production technology.

 

That's still holds true, but just as production technology moves on, so do the needs of our readers, and the ways they can research and receive information.

 

Day to day contact with the manufacturing community supported by regular reader surveys help us to identify and respond to these information needs. This is what shapes the magazine and website's style and content as we look forward over the next year.

 

You will also see a much closer relationship between MWP magazine and its online counterpart www.mwponline.com.

 

The guiding principle is fast delivery of information, because what hasn't changed is that busy production engineers want to be pointed towards what's relevant to them, as quickly as possible.

 

This still includes new and emerging technologies; but increasingly, it also embraces the strategic, business, and in the broadest sense, environmental issues affecting production engineering.

 

So, throughout the year, as well as the technology subjects flagged up in the editorial programme, you'll find us addressing these issues, with advice on, for example, health and safety, finance, and lean manufacturing.

 

Our aims for the next year, for every year, are very simple: to use the website and printed page to cover all the important management and technology issues - delivering the right content to the right audience, at the right time, by the right medium.
