You will notice that you need one recommender to be able to speak to your technical abilities if you apply through MIT Sloan and two recommenders if you apply through MIT's School of Engineering. I know it says "academic source"...but this can be misleading...I say focus on the part that says "someone who can speak definitively of your technical skills." Personally, I don't think professors make very good recommenders unless you did research with that professor or spent extensive time with him or her. Again, this gets back to the recommenders ability to speak about you and your personal traits. Some professor that taught you a few days a week...and that you visited in office hours a couple times in a semester...does not really know you. Getting an A in a class is not a technical skill. The admissions committee has your transcripts if they are interested in your grades. (assuming you are currently in an engineering or R&D field) I think your supervisor or co-worker should easily be able to speak to your technical skills. This might be one aspect of the questions that you want to explain to them beforehand. Just let them know that technical skills include technical problem solving or really anything engineering related.

Also, I think it is a great idea for one of your recommendators to be from outside the work environment. This goes along with what I said about your application essays. I think it is important to show how well rounded you are. Show the admissions committee that you have a life and passion outside of work.
And once again (as mentioned in the application essay blog) when selecting a recommender, think about their ability to speak to your leadership abilities and potential. LEADERS for manufacturing. Lets just say the leaders part is kind of a big deal.
