While manufacturers often have limited control over the fluctuations of the supply chain, they do have direct control over the health of their equipment. Ensuring equipment functionality is essential to maintaining efficient operations, especially when supply chains are under strain. A system failure during such times can severely disrupt productivity, making it crucial for organizations to prioritize regular inspection, maintenance, and modernization of their in-house systems.
Implementing a comprehensive plan for consistent equipment assessment is key. This includes routine checks like load testing for cranes and ensuring the operational efficiency of hoists. Every piece of equipment must be ready to perform at its best to support smooth operations. Although managing this process is a complex task, it’s one that falls entirely within the control of the operating company.
