In today’s world, manufacturers still depend heavily on the working hands of people. The skills that are in demand are extremely repetitive and potentially dangerous. With the added effect of current labor struggles, keeping talent in this environment is difficult to maintain. According to The Workforce Institute at UKG, 4 in 5 U.S. manufacturers are having difficulty keeping up with demand due to staff shortages and supply constraints1 . In real time, if a skilled worker decides not to come to work, eight hours of production time is wasted. These losses can be catastrophic for small to mid-sized manufacturers trying to keep up with demand while also attempting to outcompete global competitors.
