There's Never a Good Time for Downtime
Competition among manufacturing firms is fierce, regardless of the specific industry. The IT challenges in all manufacturing environments impact the profitability and overall success of industry leaders and newcomers alike, from automotive makers and pharmaceutical companies to makers of consumer packaged goods.
According to IDC, network downtime and service degradation are costing process manufacturers an average of $180,000 per month in lost revenue and decreased productivity. Downtime or degradation affecting sales channels can cost an additional $100,000 per hour or more in lost revenue, and can often have a negative affect on customer loyalty and repeat business.
Most manufacturing organizations battle the competition not only externally in the market place, but also internally within the company’s various processes. In order to remain competitive, manufacturing firms must ensure that their internal operations are efficient and running on all cylinders.
