NAPERVILLE – With a renewed optimism among U.S. manufacturers is coming some cautions, a recent study by Naperville-based Sikich LLP shows.

Cyber security is another concern as technology advances and the rush to be involved leaves companies vulnerable to cyber attacks.
While automation is an option, it’s expensive and needs to coordinate with the project opportunities that arise.
Then there is succession planning – a touchy subject that many are not focused on.
