Most manufacturing leaders can feel when something’s off with their workforce. The floor runs differently. Supervisors grumble about new hires. Training time stretches. It’s instinct — the kind you only develop after years in the industry.

Checking your technician pipeline health is the first step to ensuring company vitality. It starts with one metric: applicant-to-hire ratio.

Every manufacturer knows the cost of downtime. But few calculate the cost of workforce decay.
