In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic companies in every industry have found it necessary to adjust their structure, communication, and overall purpose in order to accommodate a rapidly shifting economy. Some organizations have been able to pivot with the grace and elasticity needed to keep up with changing demands while others have felt the brunt impact of a rigid structure. At Integress we’ve taken note of the attributes that sustainable companies share and recognize the market trends that thriving organizations are chasing in order to stay afloat and even thrive in these greatly uncertain times.
With the market greatly shifting over the course of just a few months, so too have the product demands changed for almost every industry vertical. Within the spectrum of biomedical technology and medical manufacturing alone the private and government demand for highly specialized products has increased many times over. The companies that have been able to utilize this opportunity, even if they were not previously involved in developing or manufacturing necessary specialized products, have been able to pivot their supply chain according to market demands.
The companies that have been able to do so with the greatest ease are those comprised of highly capable and synergistic team structures. Companies with highly communicative engineering and technology teams have been able to make the shift to remote development more easily than companies with an inelastic hierarchal structure. With airtight oversight and extremely motivated management teams, companies that otherwise would have been forced to furlough a large portion of their workforce have been able to develop new workflows and production processes to accommodate new needs.
Another attribute of flexible and thriving companies are rigorous quality control checks that allow for sustained quality assurance even through rapid prototyping and development protocols. Our data has shown that almost 50% of businesses that are still operating at nearly full capacity invested in automation procedures that have allowed for continuous production and assembly while maintaining necessary distancing and protecting the welfare of vital workers. Safety and success does not have to be a tradeoff and the benefits of modular automation are clearly evident in this case.
