"Let's Talk Manufacturing: is part of the "Let's Talk Business South Carolina" network of B2B talk shows. It is an audio podcast and a YouTube video series -- hosted by long-time South Carolina business publisher Rick Jenkins. Episodes feature industry outlooks, conversations on trending advanced manufacturing topics, and interviews with industry executives and thought leaders. 

Guests on this episode include: 
Andy Carr, CEO at the South Carolina Manufacturing Extension Partnership, shares how manufacturers can now download SCMEP's new workforce assessment. And, it's free!

Brian Callahan, VP of business development at MAU Workforce Solutions, cautions manufacturers against allowing the hiring process to become a non-critical function. He also explains the plant-in-a-plant concept and how workforce solutions companies like MAU can oversee and manage employees and processes on the plant floor, thereby removing the responsibility from the manufacturer completely.

Carolina Handling and their client T&S Brass & Bronze Works partnered to increase warehouse optimization and implement a host of automation solutions. Bob Clement, production and inventory control manager at T&S Brass, and Gautham Sivakumar, senior intralogistics solutions project manager at Carolina Handling, share how the two companies decreased overtime and increased delivery times, thereby improving customer service.
