Manufacturers feel the impact when the world changes. They must use resources efficiently to create high quality, globally competitive products, despite supply chain disruptions, the evolution of technology, and the lack of skilled workers.

Manufacturers understand there is a continuing demand to increase efficiency, improve productivity and throughput, ensure quality, and reduce costs. Customer expectations and competition to meet high delivery and service standards must also be addressed.
