SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURINGSUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
Why?▷Identify future and current demand
• Northern Colorado continues to attract a variety of manufacturing industries
• Over 2,300 jobs created • Over 300 existing manufacturing
companies are located in Super Region
15
Key ObservationsKey Observations▷Becoming sustainable is a
process, not an event – it’s never finished.
▷Many success factors have little to do with Education/Training/ Workforce Skills
▷Must have view both inside and outside of the organization (vendors and supply chain)
16
Key Observations (con’t)Key Observations (con’t)
▷A sustainable worker and a traditional worker can be hard to distinguish
▷Measurement is critical, as is ease of Interpretation
▷Less or More: How is excess capacity repurposed?
