After a couple of months away from the mic, we are back with the latest episode of The Manufacturer Podcast. This week's main talking point - the impact of the cyber-attack on Jaguar Land Rover.

After just over a month of complete shutdown across JLR's three UK sites, in Solihull, Wolverhampton and Halewood, we reflect on the impact this has had.

Of course, JLR is directly affected. Around 34,000 people in the UK work for the company, many of those people have been placed on leave. JLR is reportedly losing £50 million in profit a week, and an expected £2.2 billion in revenue.

This has also hugely impacted the automotive supply base, the companies that provide various parts to JLR. We've spoken to a few of them in recent weeks, and even visited some of the currently idle factories.

Those visits were made by editorial team members on the road for The Manufacturer MX Awards judging weeks. In round two of the process, judging teams entered the facilities of finalists across various categories.

The Operational Excellence category was judged by Jon Tudor of True North Excellence, Alison Beard-Gunter, an independent consultant and the chair of this year's Manufacturing Leaders' Summit, as well as Anish Varkey of Lotus. All three of them share their experiences and insights from their judging week.

The top story on The Manufacturer website this week is Molly Cooper's trip to the Goodwood Festival of Speed to check out the latest innovations at the FOS Future Labs.

While there, she had the chance to chat with Tim Peake about his career, getting young people into STEM and what technologies he thinks will change the world.And in this week's 'Made by a Moron,' James Devonshire has trouble on his flight back to Philippines, which forces him to question the point of reclining plane seats.
