How can we improve? Quick survey: https://forms.gle/sgf7YQ5e41tp3XN3A Pashi presents the Means of Production, a podcast about what it really takes to build, maintain, and scale the processes that produce the physical products that power our world. Every episode, we ask a manufacturing expert to walk us through the nuts and bolts of how they do their job. We explore how and why they got into manufacturing, dive deep into the hardest problems they’ve solved on production lines, and discuss their thoughts on what’s broken in manufacturing today and how those things can be fixed.
