In this episode of the DATA SECRETS Podcast, we crack open a manufacturing data “case file” with none other than Frank Borovsky – Mr. Manufacturing Cloud. If you think every Fortune 500 factory has their act together, think again! Frank spills the beans on busted systems, mysterious KPIs, and the questionable "data alibis" companies use to dodge hard truths.

Get ready for:

  • The tale of Project Titan at Honeywell – a data sleuthing operation that uncovered double-dealing, cross-division chaos, and “customers” playing both sides
  • The showdown between real KPIs and “vanity metrics” (hint: NPS is in the lineup for questioning)
  • A behind-the-scenes look at how Frank survived complete system shutdowns, corrupted floppy disks, and more hair-raising data horror stories
  • How private equity firms are shaking things up with their relentless chase for EBITDA, and why Frank loves solving their cases
  • The secret ingredient to every successful manufacturing operation: on-time to first promise (a.k.a. your statistical “say-do ratio”)
  • Frank’s “weirdest KPI”? Customer Expected Lead Time (CELT), and how it can make or break your operational alibi

Frank also reveals why most leaders would rather believe a “pretty dashboard” than interrogate the real data, and why every exec needs to get ready for AI to reveal inconvenient truths.

If you’re itching for the data drama beneath the surface of manufacturing, this episode is packed with shocking reveals, hilariously nerdy moments, and actionable forensics for your next analytics initiative.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
