10. STREAMLINED PROCESSES
Advanced Manufacturing:
What is Advanced Manufacturing?
TECHNOLOGY
SKILLED WORKERS
STREAMLINED PROCESSES
[slide 12]
You’ve heard the term “advanced manufacturing.” Maybe you’ve wondered what the difference is between “advanced” manufacturers and whatever the other manufacturers would be called.
We at DRMA wondered that and became concerned with everyone kind of making up their own definition. We did some research and adopted a definition from the National Council for Advanced Manufacturing.
Advanced manufacturing is the combination of technology, skilled workers and streamlined processes. It’s NOT about the industry sector or the type of products produced. My opinion is, every manufacturer who is still in business after this last economic downturn is an advanced manufacturer. They had to be to survive!
Adapted from the National Council for Advanced Manufacturing (NACFAM)

20. What’s an Employer to Do?
Move to where the employees are
Sell the business
Close the business
[slide 24]
So if employers can’t find employees, what do they do?
They move to where they can find employees or they say “I’m done” and either sell or close the business – and neither of these options is good for the Region’s economy.
The third choice is that they do something to fill the worker pipeline. And this is a great example of the value of a local trade association. Employers come together around a specific cause, and work together to solve a problem that they can’t solve on their own.

21. The Third Option [slide 25]
Members of DRMA have decided to work on the problem using several tactics.
First, we are delivering this presentation throughout the region to help dispel the misperceptions about the industry.

22. Work Together to Solve the Problem
DRMA’s responsibility:
Define the need/be the industry voice
Lead the effort to attract people to your industry
