Inflation is at its highest point in several decades, and volatile demand and supply chain interruptions have led to almost daily changes in your operations costs. Many manufacturing companies are ill prepared to deal with these fast moving markets, leaving both sales and margin at risk. Compounding your planning difficulties is the uncertainty of knowing which price changes are temporary and which are permanent.
