Today’s post-pandemic economic constraints are challenging all businesses, but small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially impacted. Without the economies of scale, SMEs may seem limited in the ways they can respond to the demands put on them by their customers. Rather than being reactive when challenged by their customers to deliver more value, smart businesses are looking to technology to become proactive in driving value.
The number of elements on a factory floor that might cause a particular efficiency or quality problem make it nearly impossible to pick out a single tool, process or condition as the culprit. Due to supply chain disruptions (post-Covid), factories experience material shortage while logistics and procurement managers testify that material orders that used to be fulfilled in weeks now take months.
