SME Consulting Support

Unique Problems of SMEs

  • Need to increase the profitability but lacking funds
  • Not having a comfortable market share
  • Feeling the pressure from customers to cost reduction and delivery times
  • Losing out more because of some quality issues
  • Dissatisfied customers because of the delivery performance
  • Increasing overheads
  • The inventories occupy the plant and become uncontrollable
  • More break-down and engineers are attending to them daily
  • Profits are not growing despite the increase in volumes

What is the Cause?

SME – the type of industry that is facing the challenge to be smarter and flexible enough to be in business, in the world where the rate of change keeps accelerating, where the business needs to reinvent itself very often.

The distinct roles played by an SME Owner – daily!

In contrast, in SMEs, the Top Management engages in taking the day-to-day decisions. This keeps the business owner completely occupied in daily routines and leaves very less space for futuristic thinking, strategising and business development activities.

The managerial issues keep pulling down the leader within an entrepreneur to the manager level. In turn, the daily tasks of firefighting, problem-solving and follow-ups (the task of the technician) pull the manager into the technician level.

Especially, the First-Generation companies – be it in manufacturing or in services – are facing this issue. These companies rode the tide of mass revolution of past one or two decades. And these companies are owner driven or owner dependent
