There are a lot of problems that Timber, SawMill And Door Frame Manufacturers Are Facing Today. Some of the important ones are discussed below. All this is happening because all these products have some or other disadvantages associated with it. And we have newer products in the market that have resolved these issues.
1. Standardisation Issues
The very first challenge that this category of manufacturers face is that they all use Timber, and timber being a natural product has “standardisation” issues, which becomes a big challenge.
2. High Rejection Rate
The second challenge which they face is very “high chances of rejection due to warpage, cracks and bends. The builders today are facing big problem as their product is not getting inducted because of standardisation issues which persists when they use Timber door frames.
3. Shortage Of Timber
The third challenge is “Shortage Of Timber,” every Timber is being imported from outside India which results in Forex loss.Also, there is a lot of shortage of good quality of timber which possesses a big challenge for this category.
4. Wastages
The fourth major challenge is that, Timber leads to a lot of wastage of time of the manufacturers in the “seasoning process”, because of which many a times their orders get cancelled. This factor is very important for any contractor or architects.
5. Cracks and Warpages
The fifth challenge is that of Cracks and Warpages in the products which are common, because of which every manufacturer wants that the quality check of their products to be done at their factory, as they can’t take guarantee of the product when it is delivered on the site.
6. Delayed Payments
The sixth challenge is that of the “Payments,” which are getting delayed from the builders end. Because when you sell a conventional product, you don’t have any uniqueness in your product and if your product is not unique in this competitive market, then it leads to delayed payments as customers are always looking for new products. Infact, our research suggests that lots and lots of builders are facing a financial crunch because of which this is happening.
7. Pre- Laminated and Green Product
The seventh major challenge is that the builders are demanding, new green and pre - laminated products along with it they are also asking for engineered and standardised products which has stressed the timber manufacturers.
