November blog – Production planning

In the run up to the end of the year, manufacturers and subcontractors will be working towards project completion and factor in downtime during the Christmas period.

Ensuring manufacturing processes and stock control are key in laying the foundations for the next month and year ahead. If this is not managed and subcontractors do not manage stock levels, manufacturers face the risk of longer lead times, unable to meet market demands and potential loss of sales.

We work with a number of clients to hold good stock levels and implement agile processes. With our recent investments we can manage capacity as market demands change.

Our new powerful 10Kw fiber laser, has the capability to cut with greater speed, accuracy and a cleaner cut up to 30mm in Stainless Steel.

The other major investment was in a metal forming department with a new Bystronic 4m press brake. This investment complimented the powerful fiber laser in forming larger sections.
