In our last blog, we looked at how maintenance and repair inspections can help improve the life of your equipment, as well as practical solutions that would help reduce the impact of costs on a business due to current trading conditions.
With disruptions in the supply chain, the cost of sourcing materials, such as machine parts and a shortage of drivers cause transport delays in delivering products to consumers. Organisations are finding it more difficult to meet high customer expectations of delivering good quality products, low shipping costs and fast delivery times. A report by Barclays found that goods with a total value of £23.6 billion are still awaiting completion in manufacturing warehouses, due to delays in ingredients, parts, and materials. With £12 billion worth of steel and metal products and food and drink goods being most affected.
Businesses now must be committed to doubling the demand and build a strategy to improve annual turnover and increase production time. By always having equipment available to workers.
