The Many Difficulties we face with Polymer Manufacturing, and how we overcome them
Introduction
Polymer Manufacturing is a complex process which requires careful planning and much hard work to be successful. It is not easy to get started, but once the production starts, it becomes a wonderful experience. However, there are many difficulties in polymer manufacturing that can pose difficult challenges for the organization.
In this article, we will be looking at some of these challenges and how Parridhi India Polymer overcomes them with its expertise in polymer manufacturing.
- Fluctuating Demands
When we talk about polymer manufacturing, we are actually referring to the process of getting raw materials and then turning them into finished products. This is a time-consuming process which requires planning, determination and perseverance.
One of the biggest problems faced by a polymer manufacturing unit such as ours is that it has to deal with varying demands from its buyers. There may be days when there will be no work at all, as there are no orders for the products. And then suddenly there will be a huge rush of orders all in one day.
The demand has to be tracked very carefully so that our company knows how much it would want to produce based on these demands.
- Lack of Raw Materials
Another challenge faced by a polymer manufacturing unit is the lack of raw materials. When there is no raw material, the production of polymer cannot be continued, and hence there may be days when no work at all can be done.
In order to avoid this situation, we maintain healthy relationships with vendors who supply us with raw materials and never lose contact with them in case they need to buy more of one particular item.
Constant contact also ensures smooth delivery of the items so that the production can continue smoothly.
- High Costs
Another major problem faced by a polymer manufacturing unit such as ours is that it has to spend a lot on machinery and equipment in order to manufacture polymers and elastomers. This high cost has to be borne by the organization itself, and it may take a lot of time to recover the funds spent.
If this is not handled in the right manner, then the organization may have to face a lot of problems with regard to money.
But Parridhi India Polymer follows a very different strategy which ensures that high initial costs do not become an issue later on.
This ensures that the funding for our polymer manufacturing unit is never an issue, and we are able to manufacture our products at very high quality without having to worry about anything else.
- Knowledge Gap in the Industry
The outlook of the polymer manufacturing industry has been changing with time. Earlier, it was considered a very easy industry in which anyone could start a branch and be successful. But now, this is not the case.
In order to actually be successful, the organization has to work hard on developing new skills and expertise, without which it will not be able to compete with other companies in the industry.
Parridhi India Polymer has always tried to implement this strategy and is always making efforts to improve its own knowledge about polymer manufacturing so that it can produce high-quality products which can be sold at competitive prices as well.
- Healthcare Guidelines
Healthcare guidelines and regulations can be a major hindrance in the polymer manufacturing industry. These guidelines are constantly changing, and keeping up with them is not easy. Even if it is possible, it will take a lot of time and effort, which may affect the operations of the unit.
This is something that Parridhi India Polymer has been able to avoid by working closely with the authorities so that we are aware of the changes in healthcare laws and we can work accordingly without affecting our production schedule.
If rules change after production has actually started, then Parridhi India Polymer creates ways to make sure that these new rules do not affect its production in any way.
We have always been one step ahead of safety guidelines by ensuring that our products meet all the safety standards and regulations, which is a major achievement.
- Unreliable Labor
Another major problem which many polymer manufacturing units face is unreliable labor. This does not mean that the workers are not working hard. It is just that they may get distracted by things and take time off without informing their managers.
If this happens, then production will have to be stopped until the worker comes back, which can cause huge losses to the organization. In order to avoid these losses, we have always made sure that there are backups in place so that our production can continue even if a worker takes time off without informing us beforehand.
