Discrete Manufacturing - Engineering

The Indian engineering industry is perceived to be the backbone of Indian economy, and is interlinked with several other major industries. The engineering industry derives its demand from capacity creations in other core verticals such as power, infrastructure, mining, oil, consumer goods, automotive, and process industries. These industries are faced with tough challenges in terms of process improvement, quick technology adoption, and people management. They face a persistent need to continuously redefine the competitive advantage, strengthen the delivery of the value proposition, and improve the overall organizational positioning vis-a-vis its peers. In engineering industries, the key processes that have the potential for improvement include project estimation, quote submission, and multiple site management.
