A new episode of Production Matters is here! 🎙️
This week, Hailey Spears Fernandez sits down with Alyssa Machacek of Lochness Medical to uncover the hidden bottleneck. The vendor ecosystem most manufacturing leaders rarely think about, but that can directly impact hiring speed, candidate experience, workplace safety, and ultimately, production.
They’re talking drug screening, vendor relationships, hidden opportunity costs, and the questions manufacturers should be asking their workforce partners, but usually aren’t.
If you think your staffing results start and end with your staffing provider, this conversation is worth a listen.
