Manufacturers Predict Continued Growth and Struggle Finding Employees with Needed Skillsets

Feb. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- The manufacturing index reported 65 months of growth, the index also found manufacturers continuing to hire. The important role of talent in manufacturers’ growth plans cannot be understated. Sixty percent of 300 U.S. manufacturers surveyed said it was difficult to hire people with the right skills—a situation that negatively impacts manufacturers’ desire to increase production.  Talent is one of three critical dimensions of the foundation upon which leading manufacturers rely as they seek to increase their flexibility, and thrive in a world of ongoing volatility and uncertainty. The other two dimensions of flexibility that manufacturers need, involve the extent to which digital technologies are used across a company’s operations and the ways in which physical assets are managed. System Integrators help to bridge the gaps and devise flexible ways to respond to manufacturing growth.
