174: The Economy, Labor Market, and M&A Landscape: Paying Attention to What Really Matters with Alex Chausovsky

Manufacturing Happy Hour · 27 Feb 2024 · 1h 04m

What this episode covers

Alex Chausovsky, Director of Analytics and Consulting at Bundy Group, discusses the intersection of economics, labor markets, and M&A for manufacturers. He outlines three economic takeaways: focusing on relevant indicators like industrial production rather than GDP, understanding the impact of pricing on revenue versus volume, and following capital flows into sectors like pharma and semiconductors. On the labor front, he emphasizes that the post-pandemic talent shortage requires HR to have a seat at the executive table and use data like the CLAMS profile to attract candidates. Finally, he details the four pillars of a valuable business—stability, profitability, growth, and team/client diversity—and advocates for a competitive market process when selling.

    Planning for the Long Haul with Supply Chain and Labor w/ Rob Tracy

    Rob Tracy, founder of Rob Tracy Consulting and author of 'How to Fix a Factory', discusses how manufacturing leaders must treat labor shortages and supply chain disruptions as long-term realities rather than temporary setbacks. He outlines four strategic responses: managing customer tiering and lead times, trimming complex product lines to free capacity, adjusting pricing to reflect new market leverage, and re-evaluating capital investments based on throughput generation rather than just cost reduction. Tracy also advises leaders to revisit their strategic plans and operating systems to ensure they are aligned with this new capacity-constrained environment.
