The last decade has shown a complete change in the industrial manufacturing landscape, both internationally
and locally. The sector is now characterized by large mergers and acquisitions, intense competition, increasing
demands on price cutting and on quality, either in products, services or systems, and these trends will continue.
Suppliers have evolved from purely technical manufacturers into complete system developers. They have had to
adapt to a world market with fewer but bigger players, especially in the automotive, aerospace and electronics
fields.
Speed and flexibility, together with demands on profitability, have become key issues for industrial manufacturing
companies all over the world. International as well as local matrix organizations, lean production, simultaneous
engineering and project management are tendencies that have spread across the entire industrial world.
Direct management has already turned into transversal management, consequently profiles have changed. Authority
is never fully acquired and is constantly challenged. Whatever expertise is needed, strong personal leadership
is also essential.
