Jay Baron, Ph.D.
President & CEO
“We chose Traverse City as a place to get away with a few friends and talk about manufacturing.”
Donald N. SmithSociety of Manufacturing Engineering Fellow, 1988
The apprenticeship crisis is serious today and getting worse
Tooling:
• Tool & die expertise needed at launch
• Advancing materials exacerbate the problem
• 1/3 tool shops gone between 1997 - 2012 (Contraction approaching 50% today)
• Today’s average tool maker age is over 52
• Leading causes of contraction:– Productivity improvement (CNC, +++)
– Sourcing to low cost countries
Reference: “The Tool and Die Industry …,” Congressional Research Office, Bill Canis, 2012
“The computer in metal-working may initiate a second industrial revolution: it will certainly change die processing radically.”
Donald Smith, 1968*
