Another week has drawn to a close, and it is once again time to review the IndustryWeek.com content that most grabbed our IW manufacturing community's attention in the past seven days.
Not surprisingly, three popular items discuss big investments in manufacturing. Conversations around growth are always good. On the other end of the spectrum, manufacturers clearly remain compelled to review everything they can about continuing supply chain constraints. It is a topic that remains top of mind for many in manufacturing.
