With few exceptions, manufacturing markets are contracting. Monitor cash flow. Watch for potential cash-draining trouble spots. Control expenses. Expenses should never exceed income. Review and update purchasing/service contracts regularly. Tighten credit policies. Over-extended credit can lead to bankruptcy.

To effectively control inventory, track the physical items.

Evaluate capital investments.

Failing to value your employees can be as harmful to your business as poor financial practices. Customer satisfaction is the single-most important factor in driving business and repeat business to your door. Employee satisfaction goes hand-in-hand with customer satisfaction. When employee satisfaction plummets, production quality, efficiency and customer satisfaction suffer. It's a downward spiral that can kill a business in a recessive economy. Communicate with your employees. "Workers are going home and they are hearing bad news every day," says Jay Kuhn, president of business improvement company Definity Partners.
