Your best bet to come up to speed quickly is for you to buy lunch for your
individual supplier's salespeople. They will know the mistakes your company
has made, and why and will give you the straight scoop on what you will need
to succeed.

I know, I know.... this goes against the grain of everything we have heard
about salespeople. But in my over 40 years as a manufacturing
engineer/manager I have always used the supplier sales people to get me up
and running in a hurry. It does not take long to discover where they start
going astray toward their particular brand. But it would take you years to
read through all the stuff and perform all the experiments necessary to come
up to speed.

Find out where and when the next composite show is to be held and plan on
being there a day in advance to be invited to the various exhibitor open
houses which is where you will really get to know who and what in that
industry.
