Supply Chain issues have plagued manufacturing since 2020. Olivia Lanctot, Facilitator of Right Place’s Supply Chain Management Council joins Terry and Justine as we take up this topic. Olivia will share the risk-reward examples that a variety of local manufacturers are using to mediate and work their way through this problem. We will also take some time to peer into the future and look at what is on the horizon in the world of Supply Chain.

Join Terry and Justine as they take up a topic that is one of the biggest concerns we hear in the manufacturing community - the retention of people.

Recruiting the right people into your organization is an important organizational skill to have. But retaining employees is an even more important skill that should be paid more time and attention than recruiting. When done well and sustainably, employee retention systems should eventually do away with the “doom cycle” of recruiting, training, and losing employees. Doug Saunders, Senior Manager, shares how Flexco systems work for retaining great people and what they have learned along the way.
