These operational reviews and the requirement to boost the bottom line after 9/11 have highlighted the need for the restructuring and a modernisation of manufacturing processes and practices.

The need for an increased drive in productivity and reduced operational and unit costs has seen an increase in investment in new manufacturing capacity, a huge increase in outsourcing and an overhaul of supplier bases and working practices.
