For 200 consecutive weeks without missing a single Tuesday morning, I've published interviews with manufacturing leaders (and professionals influencing manufacturing leaders) about the things that matter most to them.

In this milestone episode, I've compiled sound bites from 21 of those 200 episodes (and referenced many others as well), and I've organized what I've heard and summarized what I've learned around seven central themes. They are:

1. Supply chain

2. Labor

3. The next generation

4. Automation

5. Digitization and industry 4.0

6. Sustainability

7. Leadership
