Strong demand across a range of industries has stimulated growth in the US manufacturing sector.
Factories are upping production as the country’s economy begins to grow again.

According to US Commerce Department data new orders at US factories rose by 1.1 per cent in November and inventories increased for the second month in a row. This follows a year where stocks have consistently been shrinking.

Industries such as steel, chemicals and industrial machinery have experienced growth. Computers and electronic product demand are also on an upward trajectory.

The overall US economy saw gross domestic product grow at an annual rate of 2.2 per cent in the third quarter of the year and analysts expect an even stronger performance in the quarter just ended helped by a revival in manufacturing.

A four-month high of 55.5 in November, following stronger growth of production, new orders and employment was experienced in the Eurozone manufacturing sector, according to the Markit Flash Eurozone Manufacturing PMI. However, this growth was underpinned by stronger rates of expansion in Germany and France and stood in marked contrast to reportedly lacklustre performances seen elsewhere.

Export-driven output and new business in the manufacturing sector increased in the Irish economy in November, as the NCB Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) rose to 51.2, compared to 50.9 in October.

Growth of manufacturing output picked up strongly in Germany, with the rate of increase accelerating sharply to reach a three-month high. France managed to bounce back following its October slowdown, precipitated by the numerous strikes that took place.

In contrast, the rate of increase was only slight (on average) elsewhere in the Euro area and the weakest since November 2009.

At the marcus evans PR and Media Effectiveness Conference held in Barcelona on 7 and 8 October, 2010 Giles Read, General Manager and Head of Media Relations at ArcelorMittal UK, said that coming through the biggest crisis since 1918, companies have had to adapt to rapidly transformed business environment.
Reed told delegates, as the steel industry is the second largest in the world, his firm is under constant scrutiny from an inquisitive press as well as NGOs, politicians and investors, who all read the media.
ArcelorMittal is the world’s leading steel manufacturer, with operations in more than 60 countries.
The company is among the top five investors in most economies, where it has a major operational presence.
With an annual revenue of $65.1 billion and crude steel production of 73.2 million tonnes in 2009, representing approximately 8 per cent of world steel output, ArcelorMittal is a leading player in the steel manufacturing sector.
Listed on the stock exchanges of New York (MT), Amsterdam (MT), Paris (MT), Brussels (MT), Luxembourg (MT) and on the Spanish stock exchanges of Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid and Valencia (MTS), the organisation appears regularly in mainstream business and general news.
With the advent of new media and “citizen” journalism, traditional outlets are on the decline, says Giles, and this can present a raft of problems. Among them include fewer editors and fewer journalists so stories fall short of being fact checked. Shorter deadlines and faster speed in news story escalation also have applied further pressure to communications departments of global businesses.
In order to overcome pressures from the new world media, Giles says that communicators within the manufacturing sector must be flexible, prepared, organise strong channels of communication and ensure coordination globally.

The mining industry has not been left unscathed by the global economic slowdown and has been hit by lower demand, tumbling commodity prices, high operating and capital costs and dropping share prices.

Mining companies have to balance short-term responses with long-term strategy, weighing the long timescales needed for major infrastructure projects, such as mine development, against downturns in prices and demand.

Mines that are not performing or those with cost over-runs now face possible closure. Cash conservation and cost management is the order of the day.

marcus evans Mining will hold the Strategic Stockpile Management training event in Brisbane on 25-26 October. Running a “good” stockyard operation is no longer enough in today’s challenging environment. Performing a key role in supply chain buffering, storage, metallurgical accounting, quality and blend management, as well as being critical to product genealogy, stockpile management performs an integrating function across mining companies systems and thus requires to be run as best as it can be.

It is absolutely decisive for mining companies to optimise their stockpile management processes and achieve maximum performance, as it is critical for them to deliver efficiently against their contractual responsibilities, which will determine their bottom line.
