## Summary

Adam Rubatt, Director of Operations Intelligence at Veryable, explains how manufacturers can manage fluctuating labor demand by shifting from fixed workforces to an on-demand labor model. He details the company's digital marketplace and workforce management software, which help businesses match staffing to real-time production needs rather than historical averages. Rubatt cites specific use cases, including ADAC Automotive stabilizing shifts during OEM demand spikes and Arctic Coolers testing a new B2C product line with flexible workers.
