Rutland online events with Q&A sessions
Like many producers, door manufacturers are currently facing an extraordinary range of market and industry challenges. The cumulative disruption on supply chains caused by the pandemic, the worldwide surge in demand for materials as economies open back up, and now the hammer blow to supply of certain materials caused by Russia’s war on Ukraine.
In a series of three episodes, we’ve drawn on professionals and industry experts to provide advice and insights to door manufacturers on how to manage and mitigate some of those challenges. We’ll focus on three key areas:
Episode 1 – Applying Lean principles in the face of supply chain disruption
Guest speakers: Matt Thomas and Alec Proctor, Clarity Visual Management
Episode 2 – Managing price expectations when costs are steadily rising
Guest speaker: Darren Selkus, UV Group
Episode 3 – Controlling cashflow challenges and optimising financial opportunities
Guest speaker: Chris Todd and David Wheeler, Drummond Laurie
Underpinning all the subjects is our own focus at Rutland on enhancing life safety at every fire door. We want to support the industry in maintaining standards that will safeguard life, despite the pressures that everyone is facing.
