It employs 11.5 million people across the U.S. and contributes $2.3 trillion to the U.S. GDP. Although supply challenges, labor shortages, and uncertain economic conditions persist, the manufacturing sector continues to grow.
However, the manufacturing sector is being forced to change and adapt to conditions beyond its control. More than half of U.S. companies today expect supply chain issues to remain challenging for the next several years. The chaos and disruption to supply chains has exposed a lack of robustness and stability, and many previous business assumptions have changed for good with no going back to the way they were.
Lost Productivity
Equipment failure is one of the biggest causes of production line downtime. Losses compound exponentially with the delay or loss of inventory and the idling of your entire workforce.
Production Delays
Downtime creates a delay that interrupts production schedules and customer shipments. Equipment breakdowns prevent scheduled production cycles from starting on time. Missing a scheduled delivery can impact revenue and strain client and customer relationships.
Loss of Customer Confidence
The inability to deliver critical products to customers on time can lead them to lose faith in your business, which will negatively impact your brand.
Loss of Revenue
A loss of production slows and reduces incoming revenue—plus, it costs money to fix the issues causing production loss. If your company's downtime holds up a customer so that they miss their deadline, they may cancel their order altogether. Downtime might leave your customer with no choice but to do business with your competitor.
Loss of Business to Competitors
Losing business to competitors can cost you more than the sale. Your company's brand reputation and customer perception are also at stake. It also doesn't help your business look any better if your competition is available to fulfill an order when you're not.
