Delivering business transformation solutions within the Manufacturing sector
Challenges and Opportunities in the Manufacturing Sector
Supply Chain Disruptions
Challenge:
The global supply chain has been disrupted due to various factors, including geopolitical issues. This can lead to delays in getting the necessary raw materials and components, impacting production schedules and costs.
Solution:
TEKenable can implement solutions, such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, which provides real-time visibility into supply chain operations. This can help manufacturers identify potential disruptions and take proactive measures, such as sourcing materials from alternative suppliers.
Energy Cost Uncertainty
Challenge:
The cost of energy is a significant concern, especially for industries that depend heavily on energy for production. Fluctuations in energy prices can lead to uncertainty and make it difficult for companies to plan and budget effectively.
Solution:
TEKenable’s data analytics capabilities can be used to develop predictive models for energy consumption based on factors like production schedules and historical energy usage. This can help manufacturers anticipate energy costs and adjust their operations accordingly.
Digital Transformation
Challenge:
The acceleration of digital technology remains a priority for investment. Manufacturers need to keep up with the latest technologies to stay competitive. This includes the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, and other cutting-edge technologies.
Solution:
TEKenable can help manufacturers implement cutting-edge technologies. For example, they could set up a system where AI algorithms optimise production schedules, or where robots handle dangerous or repetitive tasks, improving safety and efficiency.
International Trade Policies
Challenge:
Changes in international trade policies can also pose challenges. These changes can affect the cost and availability of raw materials and the export opportunities for manufactured goods.
Solution:
TEKenable’s solutions can include tools for managing compliance with international trade policies. For example, they could implement a system that automatically updates tariffs and import/export regulations, helping manufacturers stay compliant and understand the financial impact of policy changes.
Rising Costs
Challenge:
Both consumer and producer inflation are on the rise. This includes the rising cost of raw materials, which can significantly impact the bottom line for manufacturers.
Solution:
TEKenable’s low code platforms, can automate processes like inventory management, reducing the need for manual input and thus lowering labor costs. This efficiency can help offset the rising cost of raw materials.
