3、 to macroeconomic forces beyond their control,leaders are focused on stabilizing their supply chains,while their staffs seek greater operational efficiency to accelerate new product innovation,even as they adapt to these serious challenges.How will companies achieve the increased stability and speed

4、 they seek?Leaders are increasingly sourcing parts closer to home and looking for suppliers with the expertise and capability to deliver quality parts at the pace the market demands.Theyre investing in upskilling their people and are betting big on digital tools powered by AI to enhance their teams

5、capabilities and increase productivity.Now in its eighth year,Fictivs State of Manufacturing Report seeks to spotlight these trends and provide insights to help companies of all sizes be successful in 2023 and beyond.20233EXECUTIVE SUMMARYWorkforce productivity is a major concern given a tight labor

9、ew product innovation(49%,a jump of 11%YoY)has become much more important,especially for engineering leadership.And that means companies need higher performing and more resilient supply chains to keep up with the pace of innovation.Note:Throughout this report,well refer to company sizes as:WHICH OF
