Joe Sullivan’s Post

🦍 Co-owner of the industrial marketing agency, Gorilla 76 | 🎙️ Host of The Manufacturing Executive podcast | ⚙️ Marketing advisor to B2B manufacturers

Just shy of four years ago, I made the decision to launch a podcast. And since that day, for 200 consecutive weeks without missing a single Tuesday morning, I've published interviews with manufacturing leaders (and professionals influencing manufacturing leaders) about the things that matter most to them. In this milestone episode, I've compiled sound bites from 21 of those 200 episodes (and referenced many others as well). I've organized what I've heard and summarized what I've learned around seven central themes. They are: 1. Supply chain 2. Labor 3. The next generation 4. Automation 5. Digitization and industry 4.0 6. Sustainability 7. Leadership I wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you who have been loyal fans and supporters of this show as it's grown from obscurity to well over 1000 weekly listeners. These first 200 episodes have been an incredibly rewarding body of work to have produced. And I have no intention of stopping anytime soon! In the comments, you'll find a link to the episode, titled "7 Central Themes from 200 Episodes of The Manufacturing Executive", along with the leaders I've referenced (or whose sound bites are sampled). #manufacturing #leadership

Most manufacturers fail at creating the desired results when taking on improving their execution. Think about increasing quality, reducing lead times, and increasing efficiency. The failure rate is around 76%, according to studies. Even though more than 70% of manufacturers are actively trying. There are reasons for these high failure rates. Want to know why? I'll give you a hint, they have nothing to do with understanding the methodologies needed to accomplish this. I recently sat down with @Jim Vinoski from the @Manufacturing Talks podcast. We discussed how manufacturers can increase their chances of success when trying to improve execution. Watch this clip to learn what is the key to being successful at improving execution in your manufacturing business.

Manufacturers have so many things they can measure. However, this can be a slippery slope. Measuring too many things can lead to paralysis by analysis. In other words, measure everything and improve nothing. We have to pick a few key metrics that we prioritize over most. Dan recently sat down with Joe Sullivan from The Manufacturing Executive Podcast and discussed several of the most important quantifiable metrics for manufacturers.
