Let me take a quick poll! How many of you consider yourselves to be manufacturing executives? Ok, now the second part of the question, how many of you consider yourselves to be part of the CEOs Growth Team.We have always wonderedhow do we get manufacturing to be on part of the CEOs Growth Team.we now have the answer. With the acquisition of Manufacturing Executive, we are proud to say that the Manufacturing will now be covered as part of the Best Practices perspective and manufacturing will have a voice on the CEOs growth agenda. 6Implementation ExcellenceLeveraging Career Best Practices to Maximize Impact

What is very exciting now, is the inclusion of Manufacturing Leadership as part of the a career best practices track and included as part of a core CEOs growth team.7Manufacturing Leadership CouncilManufacturing & Process ConsultingGIL Global CommunityGIC & Events4321ML JournalManufacturingML SummitOperationsSales & MarketingOn-line CommunityMega Trends & IndustryProductionInnovationGrowthField AuditsManufacturing ExcellenceSynergies Manufacturing Leadership and Frost & SullivanResearch Thought LeadershipLeadershipAutomationLast year, when we attended the Manufacturing Leadership event, the synergies that we had projected were very evident. We were looking at bringing Research Thought Leadership on Mega Trends and Industry Convergence, Automation and Process Control and Manufacturing to our combined clients. We are happy to report that this vision has been attained. Our combined clients are able to leverage this thought leadership and drive adoption of best practices and help the manufacturing community be better prepared for the future with visionary innovation deliverables like the Vision of the Future of Manufacturing & Production 2.0 and the Top 50 Game Changers in Manufacturing & Production. The services of path setting manufacturing & process consulting group from Asia, that conducts plant benchmarking, walkthrough and audits, will now be available to our combined clients. We have also integrated the Manufacturing Leadership Council website with the Growth, Innovation and Leadership community of 1.5 million user across diverse industry verticals, united by the vision of wanting to make a difference. Several opportunities of leveraging other events from Frost & Sullivan is available to the Manufacturing Leadership Council.8 Key Pillars of the Council:

Access to industry leaders, subject matter experts, and others committed to improving the overall manufacturing industry

Career best practices are shared among Council Members to help raise awareness and learn from the experiences of others

Insights into trends, challenges and thought processes that will have an influence on how organizations go to market, remain competitive, and capitalize on opportunities 9

Manufacturing Leadership Council Strengthened by Frost & SullivanIn summary, we have strengthened the three pillars that support the access, insights and career best practices of the manufacturing leadership council. I would encourage you to take a few moments to understand how empowering these additions can be to your careers and that of your integrated manufacturing enterprise.9Thought Leadership: Catalyzing Industry Adoption of Best-practices Power of Convergence

Top 50 Game ChangersTop 30 Manufacturing Software CompaniesTop 20 Manufacturing Hardware CompaniesRather than a ring-side spectators view of industry developments, Frost & Sullivans vision is to help contribute catalytically to the visionary innovation process. The Visi-MAP 2.0 research platform allowing a unique vantage point from which to observe best practices across the manufacturing ecosystem has brought forward Frost & Sullivans Top 50 game changers. These companies, in both the hardware and software spaces, are helping accelerate the journey towards the vision of the future of manufacturing and production. The Top 50 game changers are further segmented into the Top 30 manufacturing Software Companies and the Top 20 Manufacturing Hardware Companies.10GLOBALIZATIONTECHNOLOGYGREYINGWORKFORCESMART

We have examined the power of convergence of four major mega forces that of globalization, smart, technology and greying workforce. We have a short overview of the Top 30 Game Changers in Manufacturing Software for you today.

The convergence of these mega forces lead to 8 unique manufacturing convergence trends or manufacturing megatrends ,that through enabling critical future state requirements will help us attain or at least get close to the land of promise i.e. the holy grails of manufacturing.12GLOBALIZATIONGREYINGWORKFORCESMARTTECHNOLOGY``E-CONVERGENCEEXPERT SYSTEMSCONTROL ON GOSERVICEDELIVERYINNOVATIONKNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSCOLLABORATIVEMANUFACTURINGFRUGALENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING`MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS RISK MANAGEMENTInvensysOracleSparta SystemsLogicManagerWaterfall SecurityIndustrial DefenderIBMHPVMWareTeradataSAP HANAQlikTechIBM CognosExpert SystemsIBM MaximoAT&TDEM SolutionsHoneywellInvensys EYESIMSAP AGSchneiderGE BentlyCognizant Technology SolutionsABB VentyxEmersonWindRiver (Intel)Siemens PLMJDAAprisoCisco

We are very excited to share the names of the Top 30 Game Changers Manufacturing Software category with you today. I am sure some of you are in the audience, and if you are, we would ask that you take a few minutesand stand-up to be acknowledged by the Manufacturing Leadership Council members. This research though leadership can be further leveraged by your teams to lead and inspire your clients, drive best practices and drive US manufacturing competitiveness.

Some of you will be receiving the Top 50 Game Changer in manufacturing and Production awards tonight at the Gala awards. Those of you who have not had the opportunity of knowing about the details, I would like to introduce you to Jeff Frigstad in the audience, who can help with details on how you can leverage this thought-leadership with your clients, investors and employees.

We plan on evangelizing these best practices at our GIL Global events, at the Silicon Valley event Sept 8-11th. I would encourage to actively participate in the tracks that we have planned. This will be a great opportunity to connect with industry peer-groups, potential clients CEOs and their growth teams.

If you have any questions on this research I will request you to connect either today or later with Sath Rao, our Global Vice President for the Industrial Automation & Process Control group. We will also be releasing the Top 20 Game Changers Hardware at the GIL Silicon Valley event.13Frost & Sullivans Manufacturing Assessment Model14

The model tests for maturity (on an established pre-graded scale) of 255 must have points in a Lean and Flexible plant which further define the score of that facility on the assessment model thus one is able to continually measure progress towards the ultimate business goal.Frost & Sullivans Manufacturing Assessment Model
