Abstract
This Manufacturing Insights study contains our 10 predictions for 2005, the
product of conversations with technology vendors, consultants, and buyers about
what the coming year will hold for companies in the manufacturing industry. The
predictions can be divided into three categories: those related to IT
investment trends (numbers 1, 9, and 10), specific key process domains (numbers
2-4), and urgent business initiatives (numbers 5-8).
"Manufacturing companies are entering a new wave of IT investment," said Bob
Parker, VP of research at Manufacturing Insights. "This new era will be based
on harvesting value from the existing portfolio and will put the CIO in the key
role of change agent for the organization."
