Manufacturing leaders are planning in an economy that is still growing, but not evenly.

This month’s Monthly Manufacturing Pulse looks at the signals manufacturers should be watching now, including:
- Measured growth in manufacturing activity
- Continued strength in capital goods and defense-related demand
- Ongoing pressure from inflation, borrowing costs, and margin constraints
- Softer consumer momentum heading into 2027

The goal is simple: help manufacturers move from economic information to practical business action.

Download this month’s report to see what is changing, what it means, and what manufacturers should watch next.

Reading about lean and experiencing lean are two very different things.

The result? A clearer understanding of why lean works and practical insights that can be applied back on the shop floor.

What does effective leadership look like on the shop floor?

It shows up in how supervisors communicate expectations, handle challenges, and support their teams in real time. Those moments shape performance more than any single initiative.

Our Develop Your Leaders program is designed to strengthen those everyday leadership skills with practical tools that can be applied immediately. Presented completely in Spanish, this training will equip your emerging, Spanish-speaking leaders.

We’ve seen the impact across Illinois, and now we’re bringing it to Chicago.

If developing your front-line leaders is a priority, this is a great opportunity to take the next step.
