The RV Industry Association reports on the purpose of National Manufacturing Day, which is to celebrate those who proudly stand behind goods and services made in America, and the RV industry has every reason to join the party. Now in its eighth year, which this year occurred October 5, National Manufacturing Day is not just a celebration, but also an intentional effort to improve public perception of manufacturing in America.
According to the RVIA press release, "Manufacturers of RVs, and their legion of suppliers, continue to develop products and unlock new technologies that grow our economy. The industry creates jobs through entrepreneurship, and competitiveness has been a key component of the revitalization of American manufacturing." As a part of National Manufacturing Day, thousands of middle school students have toured manufacturing plants across Elkhart County, including many RV and supplier plants. The RV industry, like much of American manufacturing, is in the midst of a digital renaissance. Companies have begun embracing the use of digital technologies to improve their processes such as the use of tablets and computer-aided design to develop the newest products. To be competitive in today’s industry, manufacturers in the RV industry and many others are responding with significant reductions in their time to market, with massively improved flexibility to enable individualized mass production, all at reduced energy and resource consumption.
