Production Systems 2009 - A rescue kit for turbulent times

2009

The production systems industry is facing the biggest crisis ever – Incoming orders have dropped 25% to 60% depending on the segment and compared to 12 months ago, but so far the crisis has been underestimated

The mid term business outlook is highly uncertain – different scenarios are possible, but mid-term-scenarios suggest a significant duration of the crisis. CEOs of production system companies have to manage uncertainty in 2009, be prepared for the "unthinkable" and capitalize on new strategic options that are arising for stable and well-performing companies.
