The extraordinarily positive development of the mechanical and plant engineering segment is a central element in the success story of European industry.
The demands of globalization have been mastered excellently by many industry companies in recent years. Nevertheless, dynamic changes continue to present companies in this industry with new challenges that can be attributed to external influences. The focus on operational excellence, highest quality and innovation continues to secure European mechanical engineering's leading international position today and is an important part of the European Union's export success. Can a mechanical engineer therefore rest on the laurels of the past? The answer is definitely: no!

Even after the industry's massive efforts in recent years, the quality of the supply chains is still unsatisfactory and not at the level of the automotive segment. As a result, the continuous redesign of the operations footprint with far-reaching MAKE-or-BUY decisions is still a key challenge for most mechanical engineers.

In addition to the continuously necessary optimization of shop floor management, new approaches to the digital integration of business processes with adjacent areas such as purchasing, development or work preparation must also be included as part of a holistic digitalization strategy.
The increasing number of locations makes it essential to transfer the best standards of the respective locations into a production system across all plants and to consistently implement this management system as a global standard.

The success story of mechanical and plant engineering must definitely be continued for your company!
