Zen and the Art of Manufacturing
Bryan Sapot

1 week ago
How do you create calm in manufacturing? Until now, there hasn’t been anything focused on putting the pieces of the puzzle together – people, culture, lean, continuous improvement, theory of constraints, manufacturing, and tech. How do all of these pieces come together to create the optimal manufacturer? This podcast focuses on the intersection of these topics so commonly talked about in manufacturing, but rarely explaining how to get it done.

Hiring and Retaining in Manufacturing w/ David Klotz

Hiring is a hot topic right now. There are many, many manufacturing jobs available, but manufacturers have are having difficulty filling the openings. David Klotz, President of Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) joins us this week to discuss hiring and retaining skilled employees.

With over 850 members in the PMA, David is in a unique position, close to the action. His experience provides a point of view unlike any other.

“Finding talent is very hard. It’s an interesting market, and you have to find creative ways to find talent. We’ve seen customers offering signing bonuses, referral bonuses, partnering with recruiting firms, even advertising on TV and billboards.”

Join us as we discuss

  • Creative initiatives to hire new talent
  • Retaining skilled employees, cultivated by a great culture
  • Partnering with organizations like the military or correctional facilities to train individuals in manufacturing jobs
  • Promoting the trades in the younger generation through vocational training
  • What to do to combat product shortages

What is your company doing to fill these positions or retain top talent? Let us know!
