With all the supply chain pressures experienced during the pandemic it's become clear that manufacturers need to evolve how they operate, not only to manage demand but also to retain and attract workers and to reduce and report against their carbon footprint, all whilst responding to changing consumer demands. This week, Simon Culshaw, VP for Manufacturing Strategy at Atos and Mike Lackey, Global VP of Solution Management, Manufacturing, SAP talk with Tom Raftery about how manufacturers can bring the concept of the smart factory to life.

Smart factories are part of the technological transformation driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution, to tackle current challenges in the manufacturing sector. Prime Time's Rachel Kelly speaks to Mike Lackey, Global VP of Solution Management, LoB Digital Manufacturing & IoT, Digital Supply Chain, SAP who shares how smart factories can improve businesses' manufacturing process and supply chain management.

There are a lot of parallels between good music and good beer, from the similarly creative processes of conceptualizing new beers and writing new songs to the way independent makers are fighting for their place at the table in two industries that are dominated by massive corporations. Beer media and music publications have a lot in common, too.  Although I mostly write about food and drink nowadays, I got my start by writing music reviews for the San Francisco Bay Guardian while playing guitar in an indie band in the city. Several beer writers, actually, started out as music writers. And more than a few brewers, publicans, and brewery owners had early careers in the music industry. In this episode, I talk to Blake Enemark, head brewer at Tailgunner Brewing Company in Calgary, Alberta. Before he became a brewer, Blake played guitar in a band called We Are the City, touring in a van from show to show and recording a bunch of cool songs. Since he left the band, he's become an award-winning brewer who spent a couple of years working with Mike Lackey at Great Lakes Brewery in Ontario, followed by gigs at breweries like Last Best and OT Brewing in Calgary. We met at the Central European Brewers Conference in Budapest, Hungary, where Blake was giving a presentation on modern IPA techniques. (Interestingly, he says that one of his most popular beers at Tailgunner is a Czech-style pale lager, a style that is close to my own heart.) We talk about music and brewing, what the two fields have in common and what sets them apart, as well as Blake's influences, from brewers he never brewed with (but was inspired by) to mentors like Luc “Bim” Lafontaine of Godspeed Brewery in Toronto. By chance, we're speaking at the Hungarian Rock Museum, which is filled with vintage guitars, musical equipment, and photographs of people rocking out.

Mike chats with Great Lakes Brewery's Owner and President Peter Bulut, Jr. and Mike Lackey, Brewing Operations Manager, about their bromance 45 years in the making.

The Covid pandemic has had seismic repercussions on all aspects of supply chains. To get a flavour of how the manufacturing world has been impacted, and what the future of manufacturing will look like, I invited Mike Lackey back onto the podcast.Mike is SAP's Global VP of Solution Management for Manufacturing, and so is uniquely positioned to comment on this. We had a fascinating conversation.As you will see listening to this, we had a great time making this episode. I hope you enjoy listening to it. If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Ben and Chris chat with Mike Lackey, Brewmaster at Great Lakes Brewery and Iain McOustra, Brewmaster at Amsterdam Brewery, about their decades in Ontario beer, their various collaboration brews, slushie beers, haze, and schooling young brewers with thumbtacks and dollar bills.

Det första avsnittet för 2021 kan vi tacka lyssnaren Daniel (@grillchirre på Instagram) för! Han skickade oss nämligen sitt exemplar av kultrullen "Street Trash" från 1987. Så självklart var vi tvungen att delge våra åsikter om denna pärla!   Ett tips: Käka inte samtidigt som ni ser denna film!   Street Trash (1987): "Det är inte hjärtan som smälter när New Yorks luffare faller för brännvinet "Tenafy Viper" - det är hela kroppar! En skrupelfri och girig ägare av en spritbutik i Brooklyn har hittat en dammig låda med gamla buteljer i sin källare och bestämmer sig för att kränga rävgiftet till traktens alkisar - trots att bäst före datumet gick ut för över 60 år sedan! Tyvärr visar det sig att alla som dricker sponken smälter på det mest motbjudande av sätt. Polisen startar en undersökning av de mystiska dödsfallen. Samtidigt rustar den dåraktige Vietnam-veteranen och skrottipps-tyrannen Bronson sin armé av trashankar för gängkrig. Det blir upptakten till en skitigt strid - där "Viper" är det dödligaste vapnet."   Alla våra plattformar samlade: http://linktr.ee/creativemeltdownpodcast    #StreetTrash #VicNoto #MikeLackey

On this episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast I wanted to talk once more to Mike Lackey. Mike is the Global Head of Solution Management for Digital Manufacturing at SAP.

Well now that we are in the middle of the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic, I wanted to know how manufacturing organisations are faring, what strategies they're adopting to survive the current disruption, and what they will need to do to thrive in the future.We had a great chat, and I loved that Mike brought up the oft overlooked health and safety implications that coronavirus has for companies - listen for yourselves, and let me know what you think.A full transcript of our conversation will soon be available on TomRaftery.comAnd if you want to know more about any of SAP's Digital Supply Chain solutions, head on over to www.sap.com/digitalsupplychain and if you liked this show, please don't forget to rate and/or review it.

Factory of the past vs. the future. Does Charlie Chaplin's struggling Little Tramp in the 1936 film “Modern Times” represent today's factory worker and the shop floor scenario? No, according to IDC's Bob Parker. “Recent research conducted by IDC Manufacturing Insights shows that manufacturing employees care deeply about quality, and management truly appreciates their team's skills and dedication. The age of contentious labor/management relations is over in manufacturing. SAP's Mike Lackey is optimistic, too. “What's under the water? Manufacturing is active, growing and improving like a living entity.” The factory of the future? IDC's Pier Manenti predicts, “Mobility will be integral to workforce engagement. The amount of network traffic on the factory floor will increase by an order of magnitude in the next five years. Persistently connected employees and assets are a fast-approaching reality.
