Challenges of Discrete Manufacturing Industry

icon

Dealing With Complex Production Process

In discrete manufacturing industry producing distinct items often requires complex and customized production processes. Dealing with Different configurations, changes in design also managing different production processes becomes difficult.

icon

Maintaining Inventory Levels

The production process in the discrete manufacturing industry has needs planning for specific quantities of items, as per the bill of material, to maintain the required inventory for the on-time production process.

icon

Planning Production considering the demand

The demand is make to order based, which needs planning specific to customer requirements. so production planning is critical to manage proper product delivery.

icon

Quality maintenance throughout the process

The production process is complex in discrete manufacturing and quality checks are required throughout the process at multiple stages, which is a challenge for the manufacturer.
