Things are changing fast in the rail supply chain. With £35 billion expected to be spent on new
services and equipment in the United Kingdom (UK) alone – a supply chain
expansion of 140 percent – the market looks set for a steady period of growth.
This investment comes at a time when the British rail
network is being transformed by technologies like cab signalling and
condition-based maintenance.
The opportunities are there for those ready to step up
and take them, but cutting-edge engineering has never been more important.
For rail suppliers, every positive development seems to
come with corresponding risk. There’s a
huge amount of investment to be won right now, but in rail, every feast costs
you a famine. Ill-considered long-term
investment in your engineering capabilities can leave you exposed when the good
times stop.
We feel that it is time to talk about different ways
rail organisations can approach big picture thinking as a means of driving
engineering innovation. SyntheSys Technologies and
IBM® are inviting members of the Rail Industry to join this 1.5 hour roundtable
event which aims to explore how rail organisations can use systems
engineering practices as a key driver of innovation within engineering
operations.
