Welcome to this week's Leadership & Strategy briefing
Calling all SME manufacturers, we need your help! Think-tank Civitas, supported by The ERA Foundation, is investigating the energy landscape within the sector through a survey, which will then be launched and distributed across the manufacturing industry and to policymakers in Westminster. Please take the survey below.
New industry data has revealed that manufacturers are holding double the amount of stock compared to pre-pandemic levels as the world’s supply chain woes take on a new form. Would you agree? The report shows businesses forced to stockpile huge quantities of goods as they navigate delays and shortages, against a background of rising inflation. Read more about the new insights below.
What comes to mind when you hear the word processes? Necessity, results, excitement, boredom, sales, turnover, profit, people, culture? Maybe even manufacturing? Who you are and what you do will inform what springs to mind when tasked with pondering the process. Raam Shankar, Founder and CEO, Equitus Design Engineering and Innovations explains more.

Calling all SME manufacturers! Get involved in this survey
The UK has so often been at the forefront of the manufacturing industry, and the sector has historically always been at the forefront of what the UK offers to the world. We are the ninth largest manufacturing nation and the sector supports over 2.5 million jobs. But the challenge to our energy supply and costs runs deep. Please get involved in the Civitas survey on energy costs, security and resilience.
Manufacturing leaders discuss the key issues in the sector
The MTC recently hosted a roundtable to examine how the UK manufacturing industry needs to work as one and come together to overcome inflation, the cost of living crisis and recession. Hosted in partnership with iBASEt, the event brought together senior manufacturing leaders in aerospace, defence and space technology, to discuss how UK manufacturers can collaborate to advance digitalisation, and improve productivity.

2 年I like article on "Increase in holding stock". Of course it raises other questions, such as how to leverage value from the stock held - e.g. are customers charged more for quick production & delivery?
