The Machine Manufacturing Industry is a highly competitive arena. As businesses make progress the demand for their products increases. An increase in demand often leads to two scenarios. On the one hand,it generates more revenues & profits. On the other hand, to meet the increased demand, the production process and capacity needs to be optimized. While doing so, businesses often encounter problems arising out of logistical miscalculations, quotation errors, glitches in planning, unsystematic resource management etc. However, over the past few years factors like consumers demand for higher quality & lower prices, sluggish market growth as well as increased regulatory compliances have also contributed to these already existing challenges. Further, a fresh set of challenges have now been added post the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic in terms of supply chain disruptions, social distancing and limited team resources as well as a massive shift in consumer behaviour.
