You'll find some lively, stimulating exchanges in the forums on MFGx. To wit, these offerings for your participation:
- Open Source Everything? – Open source is more than a fad; it's more liked a movement, comparable to outsourcing on steroids. But, as everything shouldn't be outsourced neither is everything benefited by an "open source" model which allows a community to create or improve a product, process or concept. What are your thoughts, and how might "crowdsourcing" impact manufacturing in the future? Might is disrupt supply chains and the services they serve OEMs and buyers through? Jump in the pool and weigh in with your two cents.
- What's Up With The Automotive Industry? – The question is posed: is the US automotive industry moving toward a less influential position of influence in our (and the global) economy? Has it become so myopic and staid that other sectors – like aerospace and medical – are poised to supplant automotive as the driving force of manufacturing innovation and commerce? That's a good question – share your insight and experience.
