Show Notes

Why is a skills gap analysis helpful? How can it make your company more efficient? What does the process look like? In this episode of MakingChips, we define a seven-step process you can use to help you run a skills gap analysis on your manufacturing business. Special guest Crystal Van Vleet shares how she's brought the process to life in her role with Advanced Machine & Engineering (and at MakingChips). The bottom line is, if you don't have skills, you're not making chips, and if you're not making chips, you're not making money!
