Manufacturing & Industrial Products - Cloud, Business Strategy and Business Services

Cloud Manufacturing Industrial Business Services Strategy McKinsey Bain Boston Consulting

Globalisation will increasingly affect this sector making efficiency and smart manufacturing progressively more crucial to success.

Companies will need to be correctly positioned within the global value chain to ensure they play to their strengths and not to their weaknesses. Examples include small manufacturing firms being sufficiently high up in the value chain to ensure they cannot be beaten by larger rivals just because they don't have economies of scale. Intellectual capital and management of talented staff will become increasingly important to success.

Finally, the availability of capital markets to provide financing for R&D budgets is shrinking. As a consequence firms will have to rely more on self-financing for R&D. Therefore, efficient use of financial resources will become increasingly important for R&D.

Challenges meeting Industrial & Manufacturing Businesses:-

  • How to use strategic planning to take advantage of the global market?
  • How to exploit fast-growing emerging markets?
  • How to grow but still keep overheads down?
  • How to keep talented staff and manage intellectual capital?
  • How to use outsourcing and partnering to increase profits and reduce costs?
  • How to find new markets and customers for your products?
  • How to develop new innovative products and services to stay ahead of the competition?
  • How make sure projects are delivered on time and on budget?
  • How to maintain close customer relationships and prevent the competition from taking your customers?
