NORWICH, ENGLAND, April 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) As the countries of the world turn to their home-grown manufacturing industries to help turn around their economic woes, is the current employee infrastructure able to sustain what is being asked?
From Africa to Asia, through America and Europe, every major territory of the world is relying more and more on their manufacturing sectors to carry them through these austere times.

Launched last November it may be too early to say whether the goals set out by the Make it in Great Britain campaign have been achieved, but manufacturing figures (provided by the Markit/CIPS PMI) for the first quarter of 2012 look promising.

How Lean Thinking Helped Manufacturers Weather the Storm, in Manufacturing Digital
2012-04-25
Gary Wyles, Managing Director of Festo Training and Consulting, considers how the recent economic downturn has allowed manufacturing companies to reflect on how they can operate more efficiently.
