Economic predictions assume a rational, operating market and are having to adjust to the new status quo. At Roller Die + Forming, we have taken steps to ensure we\u2019re positioned to meet the future. We\u2019ve worked to increase the safety of our team, ensuring that they have access to protective equipment and enacting policies to try and prevent the spread of the coronavirus on the manufacturing floor. We\u2019ve also worked with customers to pre-purchase raw materials, ensuring a supply so that delivery will continue.<\/p>\n<p>Many of our customers use <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Just-in-time_manufacturing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">just-in-time delivery<\/a>, placing orders shortly before they are needed and allowing the demand to fluctuate week by week. This allows them to quickly respond to changes in market conditions. Customer situations continue to change as some industries see consumer spending decrease while others have seen significant spikes in demand.<\/p>\n<h2>Planning for Uncertainty<\/h2>\n<p>Planning for uncertainty may also mean looking at your suppliers or in-house processes that have high overhead and consider changing suppliers or outsourcing.
