'“The silver tsunami that is occurring where we have a significant amount of the current workforce retiring is increasing that void,” says Keith Barr, CEO of Leading2Lean, a manufacturing operations management platform. “It’s already starting to occur, but it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
