Oct. 7, 2015 -- Siemens, a global engineering and technology company, is launching its ambitious Partner 2020 program. The plans are set to inject a fresh focus on supplying technology that will boost UK manufacturing productivity and reduce costs by up to 30 percent.
The strategy, spearheaded by Andrew Reeks, is designed to rapidly change the productivity landscape by leveraging its partner network in the UK. By increasing the speed and scope of technology deployment, Siemens plans to help SMEs and manufacturers invest in technology specifically designed to increase output and reduce costs.
The five-year plan will involve efforts to deploy specialist knowledge, insight and guidance on top of enhanced access to technologies that can improve growth for manufacturers.
Siemens will launch a significant learning program across its partner network to help educate UK manufacturers about the need to invest in technology quickly so that they can keep up with global competition. It will also be working with partners to increase the number of apprentices across the network to embed long-term productivity savings for manufacturers.
Siemens' partner program is a vital part of its UK supply chain, having served industry for more than 35 years. The network has a wide geographical spread, supporting local-to-national manufacturing and engineering companies. With industry considered to be a driver for innovation and growth, firms are demanding high-quality products that can help to achieve a greater level of productivity.
The company's partners are so close to SMEs that leveraging them will result in faster productivity gains for UK manufacturing. A guiding principle is that the Siemens partner network has the grounding to create a vision for reaching desired targets -- and will be highly effective in resolving the productivity puzzle.
