So instead of repeating the basics, let's talk a minute about what the Academy is and is not. The Analyst Academy is a practical course on the tools and skillsets required to succeed in the buy-side analyst seat. The instructors have experience from firms such as Maverick Capital, DE Shaw, Citadel, Balyasny and ExodusPoint. But what is the Academy NOT? It's NOT a course on stock-picking. It IS a rigorous guide to learning a process. It's NOT a guide to pod shop investing. The Academy attracts a wide range of equity investors, from multi-managers to long only to family offices. Rather than teaching a particular style, Fundamental Edge equips learners with the essential skills required to hit the ground running and support their PM. It's NOT a financial modeling course. Modeling is, of course, part of the curriculum and plays a central role. But the Academy is more than that. It teaches idea generation, thesis communication and how to add value as an analyst.

In this episode of Boston Scientific Talks, Paudie O'Connor, SVP of Global Supply Chain, reflects on how Boston Scientific is overcoming initial supply chain challenges by establishing a new operational efficiency and sustainability standard. Additionally, O'Connor highlights Boston Scientific's strategic shift towards more sustainable practices, including a significant reduction in carbon footprint by transitioning from air to ocean freight, reducing carbon footprint by 96%, and aiming for a 90% ocean freight rate by 2026. This shift necessitates infrastructural investments, such as building sterilization facilities closer to manufacturing sites, enabling direct market shipping, and significantly cutting down on ethylene oxide consumption. The discussion also covers innovations in packaging, with a move towards digital instructions and tailored packaging for different markets. This approach aligns with environmental goals while catering to diverse regulatory requirements. Lastly, O'Connor speaks to the role of supplier partnerships in achieving these ambitious targets, underlining Boston Scientific's commitment to not only navigating but also redefining the supply chain norms in the medical device industry.

As a “born digital” technology, additive manufacturing intrinsically relies on data, more so than any other manufacturing process. That data reliance potentially exposes AM users to data security and cybersecurity issues; efforts are underway to help these users protect designs, print parameters, machines and even 3D printed parts. But beyond the dark side of data, figuring out secure ways of storing and sharing data also opens the door to more freely distributing manufacturing, sharing material and print profiles, and flexible, secure supply chains.

Becca's goal is to elevate the role of public procurement by bringing buyers together on the Procurated platform and making it easy for them to share insights and find great suppliers. She leads the product, design, engineering, marketing, and community functions for the company. Together, her team discovers new ways to solve user problems, builds innovative solutions, and develops creative strategies to drive engagement with the government and supplier communities served by Procurated. Before joining Procurated, Becca led product management at Xometry, a custom manufacturing marketplace. Earlier in her career, she served in technical project management and business development roles at Politico, a leading digital news outlet. Michael Derr joined the Procurated team as Community Engagement Manager in 2021 and is excited to bring to the Procurated Team his 25 plus years of experience and wealth of knowledge to the Procurated Team in supporting the needs of our clientele.

She also recognized the value of commercial feedback and brought together suppliers and purchasers for the Commonwealth's first Supplier Forums. As the Director of the Shared Services Procurement group at the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), Jenny was a thought and change leader and transformed the siloed university procurement teams into a unified commodity-based shared services team. In parallel, she implemented SAP Ariba to make PASSHE a leader in higher education.

Everyone is familiar with the concept of networking. But how many people actually implement it to grow themselves and their businesses? In this episode of Making Chips, Jim, Jason, and I dive into how networking has impacted our businesses in unexpected ways. To hear the good, bad, and the ugly—give it a listen! Segments [0:18] Check out ProShop ERP for more information on manufacturing software! [3:04] Learn what's happening at ZENGERS [3:51] Nick welcomed a baby boy to his family on June 27th!

It's why we all know each other and host a podcast together. But where did this partnership start?  Jim was spending money at ZENGERS and was a great customer for them. So Jason loosely knew who he was. Why did Jim purchase from ZENGERS in the first place? One of his friends—a production manager at a shop—recommended ZENGERS. One would've thought that's how their relationship started. But it wasn't.  Jason and Jim were both asked independently to be on an AM radio show at 6 am on a Saturday (the time slot when you know only serious entrepreneurs and business owners would be awake and listening). Jason was talking about creating a vision for your company and Jim talked about social media marketing for manufacturers. They were both impressed by each other, their business acumen, and how well acquainted they were with the industry. They realized they'd make a great combination and the podcast was developed from there.  The question is—without networking, would they have gotten the opportunity to speak on the same radio show? How networking has changed Jim's business Jim had a strategic vision for networking for his business. He became a member of the Technology and Manufacturing Association (TMA) who had recently hired a marketing manager to help machine shops with their marketing. Jim got on the phone with him and they got along. He became instrumental in helping Jim develop networking within the association.  Jim was asked to join a young leaders group where he was able to meet like-minded people. He knew if he committed his time to networking and building relationships within the community, that he would grow in some capacity. He didn't know where it would take him but that he'd walk away from networking events learning more.  If you go to a networking event and leave feeling like you learned nothing, you're doing something wrong. You're either in the wrong place—or not asking the right questions.  Jim also joined the Greater O'Hare Association and the Valley Association. He met great people in all of them. Networking is a great way to listen to other people and learn from their experiences.  The Making Chips Network of Manufacturing Leaders Some of our Making Chips sponsors have been a great way for us to realize connections across the industry. Amper can help you better understand your shop and help you solve problems on your shop floor. Nick, our guest on a previous episode, also works with Amper. It was a game-changer for him. Nick had emailed me a year or so ago and I hadn't followed up with him. Luckily, Jim met him again at a networking event and we all got back in touch. Another sponsor, Xometry, asked us to be part of a focus group consisting of manufacturing leaders. This shows that Xometry cares about their network. How often do companies hire a credible third party to dig into discovery? How often do they dig into their segments to find out what they care about and need? They got a third party to investigate and find out what's happening. They wanted to re-engineer their value proposition to serve their customers better.  In the Xometry focus group, we heard that four of the individuals were all ProShop ERP users—and had heard about them through the Making Chips Podcast. These leaders all loved ProShop. It certainly gave us more structure for our processes. You'll become more efficient, productive, detail-oriented, data-driven, and results-oriented.  They heard about ProShop because Jason and Jim had the courage to create a podcast just for the manufacturing industry. I joined them because I'm just as passionate about the space and I know that this show delivers valuable content. People tend to think networking has to be about growing your business and making connections to make sales. Why is that the wrong mindset to have? What mindset should you embrace instead?

By this point, most industries have experienced some sort of digital revolution. As evidenced by this year's Digital Transformation Index, no one wants to be a “digital laggard.” But, some industries have shown up a little later to the party; manufacturing included. One particulary company, Xometry, has taken on that challenge. By creating an online platform for businesses and individuals to request manufacture of a particular part or product and simultaneously curating a collection of suppliers, Xometry is expediting the traditional manufacturing process, exponentially.This week, host Kelly Lynch chats with Bill Cronin, Chief Revenue Officer for Xometry, to learn more about the company and what makes them truly unique. You'll walk away this week with a better understanding of the manufacturing industry, why digitization has created an even bigger pie for suppliers and customers alike, and why distributed access to these types of technologies results in better outcomes for all. What you'll hear this episode:What is Xometry? 01:00The old world vs. the new world of manufacturing 02:25How an agnostic supplier attitude leads to better outcomes 03:50Types of projects, like BMW Z4 parts, uploaded to Xometry 04:26How digital manufacturing reduces number of suppliers while expanding capabilities 05:03What happens if a natural disaster strikes where a factory resides? 06:07The new digital way to make parts 07:50Applying AI and ML to an age-old process 08:51What on earth is injection molding? 11:54Sustainability as a forethought, not an afterthought 12:34 Maximizing the capacity of the world to build ideas, big and small 14:43

Do you know everything there is to know about prototyping, product iteration, and manufacturing to get your medical device to market? In this episode, Greg Paulsen, the Director of Application Engineering at Xometry, describes nuances to consider and how to leverage technology and rapid prototyping methodologies. Specifically, Greg shares Xometry's different procurement and fulfilment strategies and options that help simplify and speed up the medical device process. Some of the highlights of the show include: ● Procurement Problems: Xometry makes and fulfills on-demand custom manufactured parts for medical devices. ● Prototyping: When to start? What types to create? What are verification and validation requirements? Why consider past, present, and future iterations? ● Today's Trends: Greg describes the evolution of materials, functions, and technologies (i.e., 3D printing, injection molding, and urethane casting). ● What problem will the medical device solve? Prototyping helps identify and define user needs, materials, form-fit-function requirements, and human factors. ● Agile/Iterative Product Development: Start early to make modifications and iterations to be flexible and leverage prototype for verification and validation. ● Material Selection: Prototyping identifies advantages and disadvantages of trying different materials to determine which to use for medical devices. ● A rapid prototype can be used for verification, if a rapid type of material can function and perform during testing and performance. ● Rapid prototyping can be used for first-run production, depending on market size. Consider low-volume vs. mass production tool due to cost and possible changes.
