In 2020, Kyocera AVX, a US-based global manufacturer of advanced electronic components, spearheaded a plan to globalise all the systems across its manufacturing facilities located around the globe. 

Outdated assumptions and stereotypes surrounding manual labour have meant manufacturing has always been one of the most male-dominated industries in Australia. In 1998, the Australian Government’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency reported that just 25.9% of its workforce was female.

Rising costs, inflation, and supply chain disruptions are increasingly gaining momentum, placing manufacturers all over the world under unprecedented pressure.

One of the major challenges for modern manufacturers in the post-pandemic era is the reliability of its supply chain. When building material and critical components used in the production line fall short, productivity drops, and operational costs can rise very quickly. In fact, a disruption can cost an organization 45% of one year’s profits over the course of a decade.

Whilst it’s true that cars are no longer being made on Australian soil, Aussie manufacturing is still thriving across many other industries.
