Engineering and construction
In addition to global presence, the mainstays of international competitiveness in the engineering and construction sector are technological leadership and innovative strength.
Other decisive factors for competing successfully with fast developing companies from emerging nations are a thorough knowledge of customer industries and having the capacity to develop customised total solutions.
Industry 4.0 offers a significant opportunity to improve planning and implementation processes and benefit from the entire digital lifecycle of a system.
The importance of service and operator performance is growing substantially within the engineering and construction sector and will be pivotal to maintaining market leadership. Any such undertaking will require prudent configuration of offerings and performance content, in many cases different processes, major initial investment and frequently a fresh organisation and culture.
