Manufacturing and assembly managers must coordinate raw materials, work-in-progress parts, and finished goods to support production. Balancing inventory, labor, and space while meeting production schedules is critical to keeping lines running smoothly and cost-effectively.
Top Manufacturing and Assembly Challenges
Supply Coordination
Ensuring timely delivery of materials to the line.
Inventory Management
Balancing raw materials, WIP, and finished goods is complex.
Space Utilization
Maximizing storage near production areas is essential.
Labor Efficiency
Moving materials efficiently minimizes downtime.
