The North Jefferson News recently published an article titled “6 Things to Know about the Future of

Manufacturing”. This article, written by James Manyika, Jaanna Remes and Louis Rassey, explained that

while global manufacturing will emerge and grow, we need to remember the following 6 things about

the future:

1. Manufacturing is constantly changing

2. Even when manufacturing’s growth slows, the sector remains innovative

3. The manufacturing and service sectors are very intertwined

4. Manufacturing is not an “all encompassing” sector

5. The developing world is where future consumers reside

6. Manufacturing has changed and requires new ways of thinking

An employee at Stelter & Brinck, a process heat equipment manufacture and combustion service

provider, stated, “Although we’re very aware of the fact that services and manufacturing are

interconnected, it was great to learn just how intertwined the two sectors are today.” The article states

that U.S. manufactures spend 19 cents on each dollar yielded, just for services.

While the article may not be earth-shattering, it does provide some eye-opening statistics which can

enlighten companies on the current and future state of manufacturing. Stelter & Brinck’s employee also

said, “While U.S. manufacturers may not be surprised by any of the points presented, this is a great

article for companies to read before evaluating their current situation and drafting their future plan.”

Certainly, those who work in the manufacturing sector around the U.S. can gain some valuable insight

from the editorial. The original article can be found at http://bit.ly/12aPEOX
