Overview
Improving Asset Effectiveness Fuels RPO Investments
The Real-time Process Optimization and Training (RPO) market includes advanced process control, on-line optimization, and dynamic simulation for training. 

The steady but modest growth achieved by the RPO market for the past couple of years belies the turmoil experienced by the market as each of the three RPO market segments performed differently.  One market segment in particular experienced significant upheaval that resulted in considerable shifting and repositioning of RPO suppliers, not only in terms of rankings, but also in terms of strategic direction, as some suppliers were acquired while others essentially exited the market altogether.   Better times lie ahead. 
 
One of the biggest challenges facing process manufacturers today is improving their asset effectiveness.  To increase profitability, companies are shifting from a production-centric focus to a customer-centric focus that requires the development of differentiated products and frequent production changeovers.  It also requires increased agility so that plants can efficiently execute production plans and profitably capture spot market opportunities.  Successful companies are driving out inefficiencies and attain nearly flawless execution through the increased reliance on RPO solutions. 

Strategic Issues
This study provides an in-depth analysis of the RPO market for process manufacturing by industry segment and geographic region.  In addition, it provides insightful analysis of key issues that will impact this market in the future.  Strategic issues covered include:
  • What are the key user initiatives that will drive RPO growth?
  • How can suppliers increase their value proposition?
  • What effect will industry consolidation have on the market?
  • Which RPO functional categories are growing the fastest?
  • Which industries and regions offer the greatest growth opportunities?
