Sector initiative
Manufacturing
Component suppliers finance the gap between delivery and payment while the manufacturer finances raw material and work in progress. Both ends are squeezed by the same production cycle.
This sector is mostly suppliers
A manufacturer typically has many small component and service suppliers on payment terms, and comparatively few, larger distribution partners.
And the other side
Buy side matters for manufacturers selling through dealer networks, where the dealer holds stock and the manufacturer carries the receivable.
If you are the anchor here
A program in this sector usually starts on the side named above, because that is where the constraint binds hardest and the proof arrives fastest. It rarely stays there.
