Unplanned Downtime
If your manufacturing process suddenly halts due to an unexpected maintenance issue, you’ll feel the negative effects almost instantly. Stifled productivity will result in delays, loss of output and wasted resources – which could proceed to put your company’s reputation, profitability and even safety on the line.
Could you be doing more to minimise unplanned downtime and quickly address any issues that do arise?
High Energy Costs
The expense of powering your plant is pushing up production costs – and if your energy costs are higher than that of your competitors, you may struggle to compete on price. The squeeze on profits and competitiveness can soon impact your wider operation, impeding your ability to expand production and invest in the latest innovations.
You need to implement energy-efficient practices and seek out cost-saving measures, as soon as possible.
High Emissions
If your factory isn’t actively trying to reduce its emissions, then it is directly contributing to climate change and its wider environmental consequences. Your company has a duty to reduce its impact on the planet; and if you aren’t paying attention to tightening regulatory compliance, you could soon be faced with fines and even legal action.
Think of your planet. Think of your people. Take steps to reduce your carbon footprint, before it’s too late.

High Levels Of Waste
If you’re guilty of running a wasteful production process, it will be pushing up your costs without need. Disposal fees, as well as the price of replacing materials that were misapplied, will eat into your profits and make it harder to keep pace in a competitive market. All the while, you continue to damage the environment with wasteful practices that hold you back from being considered a leading-edge manufacturer.
You need to find new, efficient processes that will rescue your reputation and bottom line.
Poor Production Yield
Poor production yield is reducing your efficiency. You’re investing more and more time and resources, only to produce the same number of products – which is making it tough to scale and meet customer demand. Delays in production can even lead to missed deadlines and poor customer feedback, amplified by an increase in low-quality products that are prone to defects.
If your competitors are producing higher-quality products more efficiently and at a lower cost, you will soon see a commercial impact. It’s time to act – but how?
