Builders, manufacturers and suppliers of the systems-built industry can learn about industry design trends, energy code compliance, copyright law and how to operate and market more effectively during the 2011 SHOWCASE on Oct. 23-25 in Baltimore. And if they register by Sept. 9, they can save $100 off onsite registration.

Held at the Hilton Baltimore, SHOWCASE, presented by NAHB’s Building Systems Councils (BSC), also will feature education and networking opportunities, an exhibitors’ hall and a tour of panelized home producer Shelter Systems’s 120,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art lean manufacturing facility — which maximizes efficiency, utilizes cubic space, reduces labor requirements, and improves customer responsiveness through quicker cycle times.

Tour attendees also will learn how they can incorporate lean manufacturing best-practices into their business models.
