Today's manufacturers know that the supply chain is crucial to success. Recent supply chain disruptions have been challenging, not least for manufacturers. If your supply chain is making it difficult to do what you do best, Manufacture Nevada has solutions. As the official representative of the MEP National Network in Nevada, we connect Nevada manufacturers to the National NIST MEP Supply Chain Optimization and Intelligence Network (SCOIN).

What is the Supply Chain Optimization and Intelligence Network (SCOIN)?

Officially launched June 1, 2024, the NIST MEP Supply Chain Optimization and Intelligence Network (SCOIN) leverages the MEP National Network's connections with unique manufacturers across the US to provide a national approach to improve and develop manufacturing supply chains. This initiative provides manufactures with information and expertise to optimize supply chain networks and fill gaps in the supply chain. SCOIN will:

• Connect US small and medium-sized manufacturers to original equipment manufacturers seeking vendors and products made in the U.S.A.
• Reduce supply chain vulnerabilities for manufacturers.
• Identify the capabilities and interconnections of manufacturing supply chains to improve supplier matches and connections.
• Strengthen and revitalize regional manufacturing ecosystems
• Scale-up supplier scouting effectiveness to help original equipment manufacturers find suitable suppliers and products made in the U.S.A. and their region.
