October: National Manufacturing Month By Todd Bingham, President, Utah Manufacturer’s Association

It seems like every day now there’s some nationally recognized day- “National White Poodle Day” or “National Locksmith’s Day” or something similar. October is National Manufacturing Month and has been for decades. Not only a day, but a month to recognize the contributions, impact, and effects of modern manufacturing on today’s world. I have often liked to say that if you like and enjoy your quality of life, thank a manufacturer. As we look around us during our daily routine, we see the impacts of manufacturing all around us. Manufacturing has changed over the last century in more ways than we can even count. Technological advances have had a significant impact on what we see as manufacturing today. These modern technologies continue to develop, grow, and innovate how we create and make the things that make our state and country better. Todays younger generation has never known a life without this type of technology and we need their abilities, innovation, and 5

creativity more than ever. This month, as we celebrate manufacturing month, we continue to work to develop and introduce today’s generation to the wonderful world of manufacturing. We need a highly advanced, technological, and innovative workforce more than ever. The ability to attract, retain, and introduce today’s generation to manufacturing has never been more vital and imperative. Some have said that automation will be the solution to our workforce challenges. This may help in some areas, however, as the population continues to grow, demand is outpacing the ability to produce. Even with automation, today’s workforce must have a significantly higher skill set and training in order to operate the equipment that’s being utilized in manufacturing on a daily basis. This provides significant opportunities for today’s generation do utilize the technology they’ve been raised with. As the older generation retires at a rate of 10,000 workers per day in the United States, many industries continue to struggle with filling those vacancies as well as upskilling and training existing employees to take leadership roles being

vacated by those retiring. It’s imperative that we as an industry continue to invest and innovate in attracting, developing, and introducing talent into the manufacturing workforce pipeline. Partnerships play a large role in this. Utah Manufacturers Association, in our education foundation, continue to work tirelessly with state agencies, technical colleges, and industry partners and companies to develop strategies and methods to grow the talent pipeline. We encourage you, the manufacturer to become more and more involved in creating a system that is the rising tide that lifts all boats.

Industry Expert Reveals Manufacturing Insurance Insights EMC Insurance

In 2022, the United States saw a 1.4% increase in the number of manufacturing businesses, totaling over 638,000. With this surge in manufacturing operations, it’s imperative to focus on effective loss control strategies to maintain a safe and efficient work environment—not to mention employee safety. Maximizing uptime is what it’s all about, and mitigating accidents is key. In this interview, Dave Young, Regional Vice President of Branch Operations at EMC Insurance Companies, sheds light on crucial factors you should keep in mind for ensuring robust loss control when selecting an insurer for your manufacturing business. Q: What are the top causes of loss you see in the manufacturing space? A: The top loss drivers we see at EMC include: • Fire accidents from things such as improper storage of combustible materials, faulty electrical equipment, flammable liquids and more • Ergonomics issues and overexertion • Struck-by-object accidents from forklifts, cranes and other large equipment • Slips, trips and falls, especially from spills, weather and ladders • Auto accidents involving employee drivers 11

Q: Should loss control services be a priority when selecting an insurer? A: Absolutely. It’s crucial for employee safety and preventing accidents and costly losses. Look for an insurer that goes beyond the basic loss control survey and offers custom safety plans, including hazard and ergonomics assessments and slip and fall prevention programs. Ensure they provide online tools, on-demand training, and have a dedicated loss control staff experienced in specialized industries and risk reviews. Q: Do many insurers offer specialized Workers’ Comp loss control services? A: Yes, many do, but they vary in quality. Manufacturers need medical management services that help employees receive appropriate, cost-effective care after an injury and return to work safely as soon as it’s medically appropriate to do so. Look for services such as: • OnCall Nurse or 24/7 nurse triage hotlines (consider any associated fees) • Medical bill review • Pharmacy management • Case management • Rehabilitation services • Return to work programs • Catastrophic claim management

Utah partners launch CNC Machining Youth Apprenticeship program A bold step to boost state workforce and manufacturing Salt Lake City (Sept. 8, 2023) — Beginning this academic year, Utah partners launched the CNC Machining Youth Apprenticeship program, sponsored by the Utah Manufacturers Association. In collaboration with USHE’s Talent Ready Utah, the Department of Workforce Services, the Utah State Board of Education, Granite and Weber School Districts, Ogden-Weber Technical College and Salt Lake Community College, the program aims to fortify the state workforce and advance its manufacturing sector by bridging the skills gap in advanced manufacturing. This initiative unites industry, education, and government to provide high school students with a dynamic career pathway and hands-on experience in precision machining. “The success of our state depends on a skilled workforce,” said Todd Bingham, president and CEO of the Utah Manufacturers Association. “This program aligns with our vision to create a vibrant and resilient workforce, ensuring that Utah remains competitive on the global stage.” The CNC Machining Youth Apprenticeship program has been thoughtfully designed to merge classroom learning with paid experience, enhancing the student learning experience by facilitating interactions with employers. Utah’s leading manufacturing companies, 15

including Clean Machine, JD Machine, Paramount Machine and Parker Aerospace, have come together to develop and pilot the program to foster a pipeline of talent and job-ready candidates. Their involvement provides students access to cutting-edge technology, real-world machining environments, valuable work experience and a chance to interview for permanent employment. Additionally, employers involved in the program gain a skilled workforce. “This program is a testament to Utah’s commitment to innovation and workforce development,” said Brad Robeson, president and owner of Clean Machine. “The CNC Machining Youth Apprenticeship is an example of what can be achieved when industry proactively engages education and government with a shared vision—then does something about it together.” One of the program’s features is its flexibility, allowing high school students to enroll in courses as early as their sophomore year to prepare for their twoyear apprenticeship commitment. The hope is that this approach will empower students to embark on a career path while still in high school. “This apprenticeship will serve as a bridge between knowledge and practical skills for Utah high school

Employee Engagement and Retention of Top Talent By Megan Ware, Senior Director of Workforce Development In today’s dynamic and competitive manufacturing landscape, employee engagement has emerged as a critical factor that directly influences an organization’s success. Employee engagement goes beyond mere job satisfaction; it involves a deep emotional connection and commitment of employees to their work, team, and the organization as a whole. This article will discuss the significance of employee engagement, its benefits, strategies for fostering it, and its impact on overall organizational performance. Employee engagement refers to the extent to which employees are invested in their work and are motivated to contribute their best efforts towards achieving the organization’s goals. Engaged employees feel a sense of purpose, alignment with the company’s values, and an emotional connection to their colleagues and supervisors. They are more likely to go the extra mile, willingly taking on additional responsibilities and demonstrate a higher level of commitment. Benefits of Employee Engagement Increased Productivity: Engaged employees are more focused, motivated, and driven to excel in their roles. This leads to higher levels of productivity and efficiency across the organization. 17

Enhanced Job Satisfaction: Engaged employees gain a sense of fulfillment from their work, resulting in improved job satisfaction. This reduces turnover rates and increases retention of top talent. Innovation and Creativity: When employees are engaged, they feel more comfortable sharing ideas and providing feedback, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. Positive Organizational Culture: Engaged employees contribute to a positive and supportive work environment, influencing all they meet. Strategies for Encouraging Employee Engagement Effective Communication: Transparent and regular communication from leadership about the company’s goals, performance, and changes helps employees feel connected and informed. Recognition and Rewards: Acknowledging employees’ efforts and achievements through both formal and informal recognition methods boosts morale and reinforces desired behaviors. Professional Development: Offering opportunities for skill development and career growth demonstrates the organization’s investment in employees’ long-term success, increasing their engagement.

MFGUTAH


Empowerment: Allowing employees to make decisions and have a say in their work processes instills a sense of ownership and autonomy, driving engagement. Work-Life Balance: Promoting work-life balance through flexible work arrangements, when feasible, and support for personal well-being shows that the organization values its employees’ overall quality of life. Inclusive Environment: Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where all voices are heard creates a sense of belonging, enhancing employee engagement. The impact of employee engagement on an organization’s performance cannot be understated. Engaged employees are more committed to achieving the company’s objectives, leading to increased productivity, higher quality outputs, and greater customer satisfaction. Furthermore, engaged employees tend to stay with the organization longer, reducing turnover costs and preserving institutional knowledge. In the modern manufacturing landscape, employee engagement has evolved from being a buzzword to a critical driver of organizational success. Organizations that prioritize and invest in fostering employee engagement stand to reap the benefits of increased productivity, job satisfaction, innovation, and a positive work culture. By implementing strategies that prioritize open communication, recognition, professional growth, and well-being, companies can create an environment where employees are motivated to give their best and contribute to the long-term success of the organization.

Carbon Fiber Recycling Could Have a Future in Utah By David Beckerman, Director Grant Program at Utah Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Initiative (UAMMI) The production of carbon fiber and key products made of carbon fiber is an important component of Utah’s manufacturing landscape. The strength of carbon fiber, combined with its lightweight, has spurred innovation in aerospace & defense, outdoor products, medical equipment, and other major segments. Utah’s carbon fiber producers and primary carbon fiber users are proud of this role but have also recognized the urgent need for recycling of carbon fiber waste. Nationwide, the manufacture of carbon fiber results in 30% waste. This is in addition to the waste that results from end-of-life carbon fiber products. A recent whitepaper by the Utah Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Initiative (UAMMI) evaluated the potential for carbon fiber recycling in the state, especially given the variety of possible recycling solutions. As Tulinda Larsen, President of UAMMI said, “Utah needs to find solutions to recycling carbon fiber. This white paper provides the foundational research to guide policy discussions and to provide industry with factual data to addressing recycling.” The fact that Utah has such a long and vibrant history in the carbon fiber industry is one of the reasons that carbon fiber recycling firms are evaluating the state to establish operations. Methods differ substantially among recyclers in terms of both resources (water, energy, time) required to recycle carbon fiber and the resulting byproducts. Although all these 21

methods require varying degrees of energy, all are 20 to 90 percent less energy intensive than the production of virgin carbon fiber. The two main methods are pyrolysis and solvolysis, while a third, pressolysis, has recently been recognized as a distinct process by the British Standards Institute in the United Kingdom. Pyrolysis uses energy to break apart the polymetric matrix in the carbon fiber resins while solvolysis uses chemical solvents, in liquid or gas form, including water, to extract resins from carbon fiber. With solvolysis, the extracted resins are recoverable for re-use, while resins are not recoverable with pyrolysis. The newest method, pressolysis, reduces material to its plasmic state using pressure. An advantage of this process is that the only product, according to patent-holder B&M Longworth, is water vapor. Those processes that use less water in their recycling process might be the most politically expedient for the state to encourage or support, although because the technology and associated firms are relatively new, Utah may consider encouraging a variety of solutions that meet the desire for sustainability and waste reduction. Additionally, the quality of the resulting recycled carbon fiber product is most likely to dictate the preferred method regardless of geographic-specific resource constraints. Fortunately, UAMMI’s research suggests that waste volumes

MFGUTAH


and number of companies may be high enough for Utah to host more than one CF recycling company, thereby supporting the potential for a multi-solution approach. Specifically, UAMMI surveyed Utah firms and estimated that Utah firms generate just over 160,000 pounds of carbon fiber waste each month, equivalent to 962 tons per year. For 2022, that was 2.5 percent of the estimated worldwide production waste. This is already a significant volume, but some carbon fiber recycling firms who have reviewed these numbers believe that these figures could be understated by as much as 25 to 30 percent – not because firms had a reason to under-report, but because, in the recyclers’ experience – manufacturers do not realize the full level of waste that can be recycled. Consequently, actual waste volume levels in Utah may be as high as 1,250 tons. The demand for recycled carbon fiber is a concern, with several industry observers pointing out that the recycled product is not certified for use in some of the biggest demand industries, such as aerospace, due to loss of. Nevertheless, the growing demand for carbon fiber is such that it is likely to outstrip supply, with some observers believing there is already a 26,000-ton shortfall. This, along with its lower production cost over virgin carbon fibers, is therefore likely to spur the certification of high-quality recycled carbon fiber for more uses, as long as its key properties are within acceptable ranges. Given the many variables with establishing carbon fiber recycling in Utah – that lack of a global recycling leader or process, the many suppliers of carbon fiber waste, and environmental and energy concerns – UAMMI believes there is the potential to form a consortium in Utah that could contract with several carbon fiber recyclers. The white paper notes that for any single firm, there is a concern about finding the “right” solution, especially if other firms choose another solution. A consortium helps avoid that dilemma. Regardless of how it comes about, UAMMI believes that by leading in carbon fiber recycling, Utah will maintain its role as a global leader in the carbon fiber industry.
