Business leaders globally are in uncharted waters as together we face the challenges surrounding the recent pandemic and resulting economic impact. As the COVID-19 crisis continues to expand, many industrial manufacturing companies are facing challenges on numerous fronts:
- material shortage and production stoppages due to supply chain disruption
- problem to meet delivery times
- unpredictable orders
- cost escalation
- workforce dislocation
- cash-flow liquidity
What to expect?
Manufacturers should expect continued weakening links in their supply chain, as some vendors and suppliers will likely face operational or financial struggles of their own. The deeper into the supply chain, the greater the impact of the outbreak is likely to be.
As with previous downturns, the industry will likely move quickly to cut discretionary and capital spending to support operations. A key question for all companies will be: Do you have the financial reserves to weather the storm?
Acting fast is crucial in unprecedented situations
Companies have to do the right things now, and do them quickly and systematically. It is not just about surviving the coming weeks and months. It is about being prepared for what comes after that. Have you considered changing your business model, restructure employees’ hierarchy, or optimize processes in your company? Do so.
Save up to 30% of your costs
In the current Covid-19 crisis, an immediate and radical freeze on all unnecessary expenditures must be brought in. Companies that do this can reduce working capital, indirect costs, project costs and CAPEX by 15 – 30 % within a very short timeframe, and thus achieve immediate effects on the profit and loss account or liquidity statement.
