"The problem is that we didn't see anyone in the marketplace accurately predicting industrial production and manufacturing," said Keith Prather. “So we set out on a study. We discovered 18-20 different economic metrics that allow us to predict industrial production manufacturing.”

For the last two years, Prather and his partner have worked on developing a reliable and accurate forecasting model for industrial manufacturing, offering insight into sectors from aerospace to computers and electronics.

In the latest episode of the Thomas Industry Podcast, host Cathy Ma chats with Prather, the Managing Director and Partner at Armada Corporate Intelligence, about what's in store for the manufacturing industry in 2023. While there is a mixed bag of economic signals this year, Prather explains that things are actually looking up for certain sectors.
