Sponsored content: The Future of UK Supply Chains with On-Demand Manufacturing

Manufacturing supply chains in the United Kingdom have faced major disruptions since 2020, mainly because of the trading and geo-political landscape. As a result, this has created supply chain complexities, making it more difficult to source manufactured components. For UK engineers this poses a strategic risk to their projects, and as a result, they are seeking new ways to strengthen their supply chains.

Matt explains his take on the current supply chain complexities, “Building resilient supply chains is key for engineers to achieve project success and for businesses to gain a competitive edge. The disruption we see in UK supply chains is driving engineers to diversify and seek new smarter ways of sourcing their manufactured parts. Supply chain technologies are evolving and the rise of on-demand manufacturing is empowering engineers to source parts more efficiently.” 

The word “manufacturing” is likely to be associated with large-scale manufacturing plants and assemblies with complex machines churning out numerous products continuously. While this manufacturing system is traditional and ubiquitous, a rapidly rising manufacturing model is becoming increasingly popular as it addresses several of the limitations inherent in conventional manufacturing. This model is known as on-demand manufacturing.
