Manufacturing industry: characteristics and problems
Manufacturing is one of the largest sectors of the Quebec economy. Despite the difficulties encountered, the majority of companies are growing steadily. However, the rapid evolution of the production domain creates problems that, if left untreated, accumulate and affect the company’s productivity.
Several kinds of problems can be encountered and affect all branches of the company. Inefficient or inadequate logistical infrastructure leads to problems with product quality, customer dissatisfaction and inventory management.
