Britain’s manufacturers are expecting an improved outlook in 2014 which should lead to a growth in exports and a turnaround in investment according to EEF, the manufacturer’s organisation. The EEF is forecasting that the sector will grow by 2.7% in 2014 compared to 2.4% for the economy overall.
This growth shows the efforts of the manufacturing industry to remain competitive. Strategies for manufacturers in 2014 are focused on improved productivity, greater supply chain collaboration, strong communication with employees and increased overseas marketing efforts. Key to delivering on this strategy is the need to use an effective business solution which manages core areas of manufacturing processes.
