Factory Restructuring

Distress is a cash problem before it is an operations problem.

A factory in difficulty usually has a viable operation attached to an unviable balance sheet — short debt against long assets, working capital funded by suppliers, and no visibility of the cash position more than a few weeks out.

Restructuring starts with stabilising cash, then fixing the structure that caused it.
