The Challenges Manufacturing faced today
Bills of materials (BOMs) management – poorly managed bill of materials can affect efficiency and cause missed sales opportunities. Without consistent BOM data between departments, one cannot quote jobs accurately, ensure timely delivery, or take advantage of new opportunities.
Inventory control – poor visibility into supplier inventory, lead times and other critical data will affect production schedules, inventory level and orders fulfilments. Lack of important customer-facing data leads to double counting inventory items and backorders from unexpected fulfilment delays.
Cash flow management – It is common for SME manufacturers to have a certain lead time in receiving payments. Therefore, manufacturers turn to financing, like loan or factoring to get financial aid. If SME manufacturers can’t provide the financing company with data that supports the viability of the customer orders, then finance firm will take larger fee to account for the higher risk.
Digital transformation – SME manufacturers need to accelerate digital transformation to create new or enhance current business processes, culture, and customer experiences to meet the changing needs of the business and market.
Direct to consumer channels implementation – SME manufacturers are constantly finding new ways to engage with consumers through eCommerce platforms.
Competition from cheap-labour – If you can’t compete on price, you have to be innovative. This is the challenge faced by SME manufacturer who are competing against other manufacturers who use cheap labour forces.
