Among the areas they have to focus on are personnel training, the aftermarket, long-term durability and reliability and profit margins. The restructuring challenge calls for an immediate shift from manufacturing in the industrial age to manufacturing in the information age.

To rectify this, several human-resource strategies are proposed, the most important of which is that of convincing the youth to choose engineering as a profession.
