Are We Ready for The New Manufacturing Workforce?
On-Demand Webcast - 1hr 01 min
Just as business is picking up, we are facing an aging workforce and are having trouble recruiting skilled new employees.
- Are we ready for the new workforce?
- Can we improve employee retention?
- Can we reduce learning curves?
Kaba Workforce Solutions and iBASEt join in this panel to discuss how leading manufacturing companies are leveraging new technology in Workforce Management and Manufacturing Execution (MES) to facilitate initiatives to attract, leverage and retain the new workforce.
- The new workforce is computer savvy and are used to fast-paced graphic intensive video game interaction. Are we running the shop with 10-20 year old procedures? Or leveraging the latest media rich and 3D graphical tools?
- The new workforce is also more flexible, mobile and distributed. Are we ready to support a build anywhere paradigm? Are we ready to provide: modern tools, flexible work arrangements (e.g. variant shifts, job sharing), and work-life balance options?
- The new workforce is a mix of senior and junior personnel. How do we leverage our senior expertise? How do we improve on-the-job training? How can we effectively measure productivity to validate our training efforts?
This interactive panel discussion will tackle these questions and share experiences and practices in complex manufacturing, like Aerospace and Defense, where a skilled workforce is critical to corporate success.
