Tariffs, the April 2025 ISM PMI, and How Technology Can Help U.S. Manufacturers Thrive

In this episode of CMMSradio, Paul Lachance and Greg discuss the impact of tariffs on U.S. manufacturing. Paul explains that while tariffs aim to protect domestic industries, they often lead to higher prices and supply chain disruptions. The recent dip in the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) signals growing concern in the manufacturing sector. To stay competitive, Paul advises manufacturers to embrace digital transformation through technologies like CMMS, predictive maintenance, and real-time analytics, helping improve efficiency, reduce costs, and build resilient supply chains.
