I am Jill Jusko. I am a senior editor with IndustryWeek, and I&#39;ve been writing about manufacturing now since about 1998. It&#39;s been my pleasure to interview a lot of great folks and get inside many manufacturing plants in those years.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="og_links first last"><a href="/blog/labor-operations-leadership">Labor &amp; Operations Leadership </a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.industryweek.com/blog/let-me-introduce-myself" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.industryweek.com/blog/let-me-introduce-myself#comments Operations Workforce Labor &amp; Operations Leadership Wed, 23 Jan 2013 22:13:00 +0000 54841 at http://www.industryweek.com
