In many respects, the heavy equipment manufacturers face similar challenges as the
automakers. While they are not as concerned with trendy consumer features of mass
produced passenger cars, they have to effectively manage the operations throughout
the value stream. Heavy equipment manufacturers must also deliver products with
enhanced safety and quality at reasonable prices, fuel economy, and environmental
responsibility. Effective management of logistics and supply chain, labor, and sustainability
initiatives are critical to business longevity and prosperity. It is clear that
the real-time operations management is a key requirement.
