Our profitability is poor because we need more sales |
|
We can't achieve our sales targets because we just can't discover
what customers really want to buy |
|
Our products cost too much to manufacture |
|
Our production lead-time is just too long from receipt of order to
delivery |
|
We never manage to launch on time and we lose valuable sales |
|
Our stock levels are too high and a lot of it won't shift - and
it's occupying valuable floor space and costing us a bomb |
|
We keep exceeding our product development budgets - but the
reasons always seem so plausible |
|
It costs us too much to fund the level of promotion we need to
achieve our sales targets |
|
We keep missing our target launch dates because unpredictable
factors keep delaying our new product programmes |
|
We need to spend too much on promotion to get the sales level we
need |
|
We have too much work in progress - and it's occupying valuable
floor space |
|
We can't go on like this - we might become insolvent. How can we
avoid it |
