In this episode of Supply Chain Now, host Scott Luton lauds the indispensable roles of maintenance professionals within both military and civilian contexts, highlighting their critical contributions to operational efficacy. He delves into the fascinating parallels between the discipline required for maintaining aircraft, particularly evidenced through accounts from McConnell Air Force Base, and the lessons that can be gleaned from the historic Apollo program. By exploring the narratives shared by seasoned maintenance personnel, Scott underscores the often unrecognized yet vital functions they perform, which are essential for sustaining various forms of transportation and manufacturing.

Listen in as we further reflect on the importance of preparation and adaptability in the face of unpredictability, as we aspire to foster a deeper appreciation for the maintenance profession and to encourage proactive career development strategies within the global supply chain community.
