S9-E7: Two (2) Great Resources for Manufacturers Add to Manufacturing Talk Radio’s Resource-Rich Library
Manufacturing Talk Radio continues to interview unique resources for manufacturers and compile the shows in a library at mfgtalkradio.com. This week, Lew Weiss and Tim Grady speak with Andrew Scott of G&A Partners, a company that leases employees with Human Resources, Benefits, Payroll and HR Technology skills that companies of almost all sizes can implant immediately to both shorten the learning curve and bring the experience needed on the job, with G&A Partners providing the expertise with knowledgeable teams of experts to support both the employee and the employer. In the second half of the hour, Lew and Tim interview Aaron Stebner from the Colorado School of Mines, a metallurgical expert and professor, who discusses ADAPT, or the Alliance for the Development of Additive Processing Technologies, a consortium of academic and industry participants who cooperate in new technology as 3D printing rapidly evolves from its R&D roots into a mainstream solution for manufacturers including those on the cutting edge of development. Any company can join ADAPT and Manufacturing Talk Radio thinks ADAPT is worth an in-depth listen and look-see for manufacturers embracing additive processing technologies.
