To say businesses today operate in a competitive world would be a significant understatement. With easy access to information, creative utilization of social media, and new technology, companies can find themselves either leading the pack or lagging woefully behind their competitors. More than ever, it\u2019s critical for businesses to maintain their \u201cA game\u201d. They are forced to continuously create value for the customer. For manufacturers, this means consistently providing exceptional quality, great customer service, and on-time deliveries. In today\u2019s reality, it doesn\u2019t take much to lose customer confidence, trust and loyalty. We are far less forgiving than what we used to be. And honestly\u2026we have more choices for products and services, than ever. For manufacturing, this means it\u2019s very important to mitigate any chance of breakdown or failure. Departments must work in concert with each other – sourcing materials, utilizing and maintaining equipment, engineering activities, skilled labor, accounting, human resources\u2026and the list goes on. And thus, leaving opportunity for a misfire with every step.<\/p>\n
