Craig Barner recently reported in Forbes that merger & acquisition activity could get brawnier as smarter approaches to manufacturing make product assembly leaner and more responsive to demand. Production concepts, such as lean manufacturing, six sigma and total quality management, have been around for decades, but now new ideas, such as distributed manufacturing, are being tried. Whatever the approach, these models seek to improve the way products, from furniture to automobiles, are made. In addition, powerful new tools—robots, laser cutters, printed electronics, computer-numerical-control (CNC) milling machines, three-dimensional printing and scanning systems—are increasingly being employed in manufacturing.

By 2025, millennials will make up 75% of the U.S. and Canadian workforces, meaning that pinpointing what drives millennial engagement, and also understanding how companies can help different generations work cohesively as a unit, is essential to running a successful workplace. Dale Carnegie Training recently conducted a study focusing on how to engage millennials at work, and found that 86% of millennials are significantly more likely to be engaged at work compared to baby boomers. The study also found that this generation of workers places a significant value on a number of attributes that they find are missing from their workplace including: doing work that is varied and interesting, open and honest communication with senior management, and the ability to learn and develop beyond their current job. Understanding these values, as well as the differences and similarities between millennials and baby boomers, is crucial for manufacturing executives to understand so they can successfully motivate all of their employees.

Good employees are hard to find, so bosses across the country today will be showing their employees just how much they value them with company parties, free lunch, acts of kindness, gifts, a team spirit day, even massages and a half-day with pay. But appreciation goes beyond just one day of recognition. Companies that provide health insurance, dental and vision, retirement plans, paid vacations, and sick leave, often gain and retain happy employees over those that do not. Benefits are a critical piece of an employee compensation package with health benefits and time-off as the most popular, according to a study by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services. The study also found that employee benefits have a significant impact on staff retention and most employees were happy with their employer's offerings.

From the first day every new employee who joins a manufacturing company is an opportunity to the C-level executives to build rapport, connection, and communication.

If manufacturers have a plan for company growth, it often remains uncommunicated according to plant floor employees. People look to their leaders to help them understand exactly what they should do and when they should do it. Most modern businesses do not lend themselves to being planned out step-by-step in intricate detail. Much of the work done in modern corporations requires creativity and adaptability from employees to adjust to different customers and ever-changing business conditions. Louise Dickmeyer, President of People Driven Performance suggested that knowing the plan is step 1 and communicating the plan is step 2.
