LAS VEGAS — At Managing Automation's recent Progressive Manufacturing Summit, Editor-in-Chief David R. Brousell and the MA editorial team met with the publication's Manufacturing Council to discuss the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. The springboard for the discussion was a reader poll conducted by MA and its sister publications in Thomas Publishing on U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and what government's role should be. The council, a group of manufacturing executives and experts, many of whom have been Progressive Manufacturing Award winners, touched on offshoring; energy, commodity, and healthcare costs; and education, among other issues.
