Manufacturers’ Monthly meets with RSM’s financial services team to explore how manufacturers can navigate the often-stressful task of selling a business, and what is easily missed when owners start to map out a succession plan. Australia’s manufacturing ecosystem is largely made up of small to medium enterprises (SMEs), most of which started with little resourcing and have grown through the trials and tribulations of economic, supply and labour challenges.

Not too long ago tooling options for Swiss-type turning centers were fairly limited. With so much to pack into a small space there was little room for indexable tooling, and quick-change systems were largely proprietary to a machine, if available at all. Lack of tooling flexibility and lengthy tool setup or replacement times limited the throughput of this very productive equipment.

Metalworking activity contracted faster in June, closing at 45.4 — down three points from May’s 48.3. With key components contracting for several months straight, some coming up on a year now, it is surprising that overall metalworking activity did not dip earlier and more dramatically. It is now at its lowest point in three years. Components that contracted did so faster in June, including new orders, backlog and production, landing on low values last seen at the start of 2023.

Effective cross-functional collaboration and communication heavily influence product launch success. Research shows that as many as 70% of product launches fail due to inadequate coordination among stakeholders, including supply chain, product management, legal, marketing, and change control teams (Gartner, 2022). The 2023 Supply Chain Insights Report highlights that 60% of supply chain disruptions are caused by poor communication and misalignment among cross-functional teams.
