ARC Advisory Group has strengthened its team to provide strategic consulting services for manufacturing and related industries.

Due to the high interest for ARC's services among companies in the Middle East, Telematics has been appointed as ARC's representative to help companies with their strategies for business planning and technology assessment.

Included are manufacturing companies, utilities, and logistics providers.

Andy Chatha, President of ARC Advisory Group said, "Companies in the Middle East region will benefit with strategic advice for their plant systems, supply chain applications, and architecture".

The Middle East region has gone well beyond oil exploration and production to become a major manufacturing centre for the process industries.

Eyad Awad of Telematics added, "Oil production initiated much of the early investments in manufacturing for the Middle East.

Now, the industrial infrastructure has grown to include a diverse set of manufacturing industries and utilities.

Their quantity, size, and scope have entered the stage where they need strategic advisory services to optimise their operations".

Manufacturers in the Middle Eastern region are experiencing pressure for better quality products with more variety that are quickly brought to the market at a lower cost.

This translates into a need for better automation and greater flexibility.

They want strategic information for new technologies and integration of the plant floor to business processes.

ARC will provide advice and consul to the Middle Eastern manufacturers to guide their increasing effectiveness and operational excellence.
