UTAP
 Since September 1986 hundreds of Montana manufacturers have benefited from assistance by engineers employed by the University Technical Assistance Program (UTAP) at Montana State University while they worked on advanced degrees in Industrial and Management Engineering from Montana State University. UTAP engineers lend their knowledge and research skills to economic development in the state while gaining real-world experience in manufacturing and business management issues. The UTAP mission blends well with that of MMEC, particularly for those companies in Montana that cannot afford other consulting services. In 1996 a collaboration with MMEC began that allowed services to reach further across the state and keep project delivery affordable. UTAP engineers work under the direction of a senior MMEC field engineer. In 2004, MMEC partnered with the Montana World Trade Center and University of Montana to add marketing systems assistance through the marketing graduate program at the UM School of Business Administration. Projects include transfer of technology to small companies, plant 
layout, plus technical information and database searches for answers
to questions about materials, automation, equipment and containers,
marketing, feasibility studies, and much more. Since 1996, UTAP services,
in collaboration with MMEC, have expanded to more integrated projects
like Lean Manufacturing implementation, value-stream mapping, customized
costing and shop rate models, quality systems, etc. Current UTAP engineers: Current UTAP Marketing Staff:
