Whats in This Issue

Welcome to the 2nd issue of 2008.Each quarter we try to bring you insight from industry, timely and important technology developments. Life in this part of the world simply isn't getting any easier, is it? If you feel like things are getting tougher and you have less time to get everything done, you're not alone.

We found that the fashion, apparel, furniture and home textile industry faces intense pressure from constant change orders, and complex global Supply chains while under demanding deadlines. Not only that we identify the problems in the manufacturing industry, Al Borj endeavors best to answers too.

 

Where do we begin to find those answers? By identifying those that are successful and seeing what they are doing. It's a fact: when it comes to your supply chain, you're either in front of customers with the latest products, or you're behind the curve. That's why the industry's most successful leaders and savvy companies are taking a cue from other manufacturing industries and incorporating AMS (Automated Manufacturing Solutions) to help accelerate the product development and delivery processes, while improving quality and controlling costs. Some of those latest automated solutions can be viewed inside the newsletter.
 

The good news is that UAE now expects to see a new phase in exports. UAE Government, as their Strategy will now focus on converting the country into a manufacturing hub from a re-export centre. The focus would now be on small and medium .

Enterprises (SMEs) and make products branded with Made in UAE to boost the manufacturing sector. Diversification of the economy away from dependence on oil has led to rapid industrial development. First class facilities, low labor and energy costs as compared to all east European countries, favorable Tax laws and political stability have also contributed to the growth of manufacturing. After Dubai's success in becoming a hub for logistics and re-export, it is time now for the industrial revolution. Today the city has emerged as the  Leading industrial destination. Devoting area of 560 million square feet to Dubai Industrial City and Dubai Logistics city has an area of more than 234 square kilo meters are the testament to this fact.

Thanks to the liberal and business friendly policies of its government, UAE has always enjoyed a special status in the Gulf Region.

I would like to thank all our customers for their continuous support and hope the research and content in this newsletter is of benefit to you. We look forward to your feedback.
