Happy Fathers Day – Fathers of Manufacturing

This Father’s Day, we are revisiting the question that we asked on Linkedin about a year ago:

Who is the real “Father of Manufacturing”?

The question received quite a bit of attention, and led us to create the original Fathers of Manufacturing blog post in 2013.
