Still reeling from one of the largest medical device recalls in U.S. history, Philips Respironics plans to cut 300 manufacturing jobs in Western Pennsylvania and relocate some 500 workers from its Pittsburgh headquarters to its two major plants in the nearby suburbs, the company announced. Philips will leave its building in Bakery Square starting in the fourth quarter of 2024 and will move the workers over the next two years into its centers in Murrysville and New Kensington. The company will all but end manufacturing at the two plants in 2025 after once dominating the market for breathing machines and making what became signature products. The company said it will continue manufacturing through a “third party” outside of the region, but did not provide any more details. The restructuring is expected to leave about 900 jobs remaining in the region — at least for now. #philips #cpap #layoffs #healthcare

How to resolve a problem? Move the operations. Seems to be Philips the pattern and practice for Philips failures. Philips has moved a considerable amount of manufacturing out of the US. Remember Cleveland when Philips failed inspections, Philips moved operation from Cleveland to China and Israel and Philips failed a recent FDA inspection in China. Philips it’s not the location, it’s not the FDA picking on Philips and it’s not American workers. IT’S PHILIPS LEADERSHIP. https://lnkd.in/gXWA3xpz

Over the last few months, I have been interviewing candidates for a global account management role at Flex. However, I found that many were not familiar with what we do at Flex, a $30B manufacturing company without a product to our name. Simply put, we help major brands manufacture their products and support product realization across the entire product lifecycle. But I like to think of our role as connecting everyday people to awesome technologies that create value and improve lives. From mobile devices that connect everyone to self-driving cars and healthcare, we play a critical role in enabling the internet-of-things. A great example is our response to the global shortage of ventilators during the not-too-distant pandemic. Check out our story on how we answered the challenge to mass-produce medical ventilators: https://lnkd.in/g7wpg7UV #CreateValueAndImprovePeoplesLives
