A new report by The Manufacturer on behalf of sustainability experts Manufacture 2030 says industrial companies are missing out on opportunities to save money – and the environment – by failing to use non-labour resources efficiently.
The report’s key findings:
- The improvement of non-labour resource efficiency is one of the greatest missed opportunities for cost reduction and improved competitiveness in manufacturing
- Although senior management in many manufacturing businesses are broadly supportive of resource efficiency, finding the right implementation teams and creating cross-company cooperation is a challenge
- Significant barriers to resource efficiency are perceived to be time scarcity, complexity and the risk of disruption
- Despite good intentions, many manufacturers fail to set meaningful targets for resource efficiency, which compromises both the creation of focused projects and the ability to assess them
- There is a lack of easy-to-use, low-cost tools for running resource efficiency programmes
All these issues and more are explored in an exclusive new report from The Manufacturer and Manufacture 2030.
