Most manufacturing problems aren't caused by one bad day. They're caused by running the business without enough visibility to spot issues before early. Manufacturers that thrive don't react faster. They see sooner. What's the biggest issue you're trying to get ahead of right now?

Manufacturing isn't standing still. Automation, labor shortages, supply chain changes, and rising costs are reshaping the industry faster than ever. Curious which trends could impact your business next? Take a look. > na2.hubs.ly/H06dPxj0 #completecontroller #ManufacturingPros

A manufacturer thought inventory was under control. Then they did a physical count. Turns out, cash was sitting on shelves. 💡 Excess inventory ties up cash and hides inefficiencies. What's your biggest inventory challenge? #ThrivingThursday #completecontroller #ManufacturingPros

I want to hear all the competing theses for how manufacturing happens in space. My current view: The first thing we'll manufacture in space won't be spacecraft. It'll be hydrocarbons. We need fuel and food. Survival before sophistication. For a long time, most hardware will still be shipped from Earth. Manufacturing will mostly mean repair, maintenance, and replacement of spare parts by astronauts maybe robots. 1000s of Starships leaving with lots of spare parts every 18 month. So the real challenge isn't producing known parts. It's dealing with the unexpected. Every settlement, station, ship, or habitat will eventually break in ways nobody predicted. New missions will create needs nobody anticipated. Waiting months for a launch window is not a viable supply chain. That implies, space manufacturing cannot begin with giant, specialized factories. It starts with highly versatile systems capable of making many different things from limited feedstocks. Multi-purpose robots. Flexible. General-purpose manufacturing cells. In other words, the opposite of most factories today. My bet is that space manufacturing evolves as a network of distributed robotic job shops and microfactories, not monolithic production plants. The manufacturing systems that win early because they can repair the unexpected will become the industrial legacy of space. When demand eventually grows large enough for mass production, those flexible systems will already be everywhere so that is the paradigm that will scale to large volumes. What's the strongest argument against this?

@LedgerLowdown That's such a good point. From the outside, it often looks like a sales or growth issue, but the real bottleneck is usually somewhere in the process. Once the handoffs become clear, teams can often handle more growth without adding nearly as much complexity.
