Moving from offline spreadsheets and processes to MRP software can help streamline your processes.

Producing reports of the current stock and demand situation can be a laborious process and can lead to human error, for example if you have inaccurate records this means you could be overstocking and therefore incurring unnecessary costs.

If you move your forecasts and stock reports into an automated system, you can view the changing supply vs demand position online.

Choosing Redthorn MRP means you will benefit from the ease of exporting real-time reports of your supplies, stock and demand.

The Manufacturing Industry faces the toughest road to , struggling more than any other UK Industry to meet decarbonisation goals.

Commissioned by insurer Zurich UK, the Journey to Net Zero Report finds that the manufacturing sector as a whole faces greater emission-cutting challenges than any of the 17 major UK industries.

Which was reflected in the sector’s emissions, which have become stagnant over the past decade, despite a previous steady decline.

“Manufacturing’s long investment cycles, which are a key impediment to cutting emissions, are not only a financial challenge, but also require supply chain intervention in order to be effectively addressed.

As an industry that contains many sub-sectors, ensuring that the whole supply chain is taken into account is the single greatest decarbonisation challenge faced by the sector, according to the report.”

Gaining control of you supply chain forecasts could be a vital first step to tackling Net Zero, as it will take a collaborative effort from all of the UK Industry to achieve the set out goals.

UK Manufacturing has sped up growth for the second month running despite the pressure on supply chains.

While the sector has been growing for months, the rate of expansion has slowed recently and it was only in October the sector started to reverse the five-month growth slow down.

"There are still significant pressures on the sector and supply chain strains have led to shortages of the components that manufacturers need to make their products.

As a result, prices to buy components and commodities have increased by their fastest rate since the PMI survey started three decades ago."

Following the announcement of the latest Omicron variant and the already vulnerable position of the sector due to supply issues, cost increases and skill/labour shortages there will be a tough few months to follow.

A series of pressures on the sector means it is still vulnerable to headwinds, such as the new Covid variant, one expert warned.
