Inconsistent productivity rates can cause recurring issues for industrial machinery and equipment (IM&E) manufacturers, impacting overall customer satisfaction.
In today’s era of highly demanding customers, ultra-thin margins, and complex workflows, cyclical ebbs in productivity rates may be understandable, but they certainly can’t be ignored or tolerated.
IM&E manufacturers need to maintain a tight grip on processes in order to maintain consistencies and predictable margins. Fluctuations in productivity can be highly risky, creating uncertainty around delivery dates, account profitability, and capacity planning.
