Achieving Business Excellence through IT and Automation Solutions
Juy 14 - 17
Hyderabad, India
India's economy has managed to emerge out of the global economic turmoil more or less unscathed largely because of its healthy domestic demand. While this trend augurs well for the growth of the manufacturing companies in India, they have to reckon with the reality that the demand-centric Indian market will lure global manufacturing companies. At the global level, many industries such as automotive, cement, chemicals, steel, and others are saddled with excess production capacities. And these are the very industries that are set to witness massive expansion in India. With the country expected to become a fiercely competitive market, only those companies willing to pursue the goal of achieving sustainable competitiveness will emerge ultimate winners. ARC's Hyderabad Forum brings together manufacturing companies, engineering procurement consultants, OEMs, suppliers of automation systems and enterprise solutions, and other stakeholders to discuss and deliberate on the appropriate competitive strategies and manufacturing models that will ensure their success. The Forum will include two different sessions over the four days; the first will focus on the electric power and water industries and the second will focus on process and batch industries.
