Manufacturing forms such a vital part of our economy. In recent testing times manufacturing and production companies have adapted their machinery and workforce to produce PPE and other equipment in the fight against Covid-19.
Manufacturing disputes can arise for a multitude of reasons. Some examples are:
In addition, manufacturers need to ensure that their customers (even those with technical expertise) know how to use, calibrate and maintain equipment. Otherwise, user error can lead to problems.
Of course, for manufacturing companies, a problem with its equipment can be fatal. It can halt a production line, sour end user relationships and cause issues in the supply chain. This can lead to penalties or disputes for the buyer as well as the seller. Alongside these considerations are regulation, health and safety, and industry standards, which add an extra layer of complexity.
