4 Common Mistakes In Manufacturing To Avoid

4 Min Read

When you make mistakes in manufacturing, the impact can be huge. If you can’t produce the volume or quality of products or services required to meet demands, you risk your future and reputation. But mistakes aren’t just limited to one industry; all types of manufacturing are at risk of repeating the same mistakes repeatedly, causing problems and loss of productivity, revenue and more if they aren’t rectified.

Overlooking Quality ControlAssuming Perfection All The TimeNeglecting To Move With The TimesIgnoring Employees

These are some of the most common mistakes made in manufacturing that you need to avoid.

Overlooking Quality Control

A visual inspection of the finished products isn’t enough, and your lack of insight and controls of quality can say a lot about how you run your facility as a whole. You need to gel booking beyond the product’s structural integrity and consider all aspects of the quality control and manufacturing process from start to finish, including the equipment used to develop the products, the staff and your facility as a whole. Take a step back, identify all areas you can improve quality, and put processes in place to ensure they are met. This can be using a hygrometer to control moisture for the right conditions for your products and equipment, training for employees to ensure they know what they are doing, setting specifications of your equipment or desired consistency and quality and even the raw materials you are using.

Assuming Perfection All The Time

With all the best will in the world, not everything will run all of the time smoothly. Issues will arise, equipment will break down and need repairing, employees will be out sick or unable to carry out their regular duties, suppliers might not be able to fulfil orders, and so on are all common issues manufacturers face. Nothing ever runs perfectly for a day, let alone all the time, so making sure you are aware of what is happening on the floor and the issues affecting production will help you navigate problems and stay on track without any or minimal downtime.

Neglecting To Move With The Times

Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn’t mean it has to continue to be this way; manufacturers who neglect to accept newer methods of working or equipment are doing themselves a disservice. Technology has advanced to allow continuous innovation and improvements to manufacturing via newer machinery, automation, staff training and safety measures, more stringent quality control checks, and more. If you aren’t embracing change, chances are you will always be on the back foot when competing with others in your industry. And if you aren’t competitive, then customers will go elsewhere for what they need.

Ignoring Employees

Your employees are the heart of what you do, and if you ignore their input and concerns, you will miss the bigger picture and opportunities to improve what you do and how you do it. They are the ones carrying out the work daily, so they will know what is and isn’t working and what needs to be done to improve the process and how you operate.

Manufacturing isn’t a one size fits all business model, and those in the industry need to ensure they are avoiding this common mistake to help support your business the way it needs to so you can thrive.
