Labor shortage
Although automated production can help fill the workforce gap, it still requires manpower to solve the problem and manage the output. The labor shortage is one of the biggest threats to manufacturing. It will affect the company’s production volume, and the most influential department is the production line department. If not delivered on time to buy, the company will lose its credibility.
Controlling inventory
Inventory management is still one of the main challenges in the manufacturing company, especially the small one’s industry. This is because small scale manufacturing companies don’t have the automated system to control their inventory. Putting a lot of goods in the warehouse will cause them to make mistakes and cause losses. Since there is no automated system, the chances of human management always making mistakes will be higher.
Damage of the machine
The machine’s damage will cause the production line to stop temporarily until the machine is repaired to continue production. Many companies pay great attention to checking the quality of the company’s machines every day, which has created the maintenance department. The damage to the machine will cause massive problems for the company’s production department, causing the company to lose money. The company must also use a portion of its profits to purchase better quality machines to increase its production capacity so that the company can meet future needs.
Quality of raw materials
The staff of the factory warehouse must always check the quality of raw materials. The quality of raw materials will indirectly affect the company’s production costs. The poor quality of raw materials will cause a lot of waste in the company. The increase in waste represents poor management quality of the company. The company must maintain product quality at all times, and raw materials have become the essential part of the production line.
