Manufacturing
Staying ahead in the manufacturing industry
The bar in manufacturing is raised every year. Achieving growth as a manufacturing company and a future-proof business are therefore not a given.
Today’s challenges are not only large and complex. They come from all directions. Companies thus have a high risk of becoming unbalanced.
- Finding technical staff is becoming increasingly difficult. Do you want to grow as a manufacturing company or even maintain the current position? Then efficiency and output per FTE must go up.
- Sustainability is no longer optional. The advent of the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires more and more companies to report on their sustainability policies and performance.
- Scarcity and geopolitical developments are causing material shortages and volatile prices worldwide. Manufacturing companies will have to use raw materials and materials even more efficiently.
- Global supply chains are more vulnerable than ever. Manufacturing companies must make strategic choices about what is produced where. What will it be: make, move or buy?
- Changing situations require constant alertness and response. To stay in control and respond quickly and well, digitization is key. It makes production and supply chain processes transparent and helps optimize the use of personnel.
- The rising demand for customization is increasing complexity and complicating the production process. How do you manage this complexity and what can you standardize.
So it is important to create rest in the organization. To then strengthen the foundation and build for the future from there.
