back to their core competencies. Globalization has brought a new level of complexity for every organization. Requirements are constantly changing for existing standards, such as CQI-19, VDA 6.3, and ISO 9001:2015. Companies are outsourcing auditing, inspection, FMEA facilitation, PPAP/FAI reviews and Supply Chain management.
A severe shortage in the supply of engineers and the increased complexity in advanced technology will require organizations like Plantech Omnex to provide much needed engineering talent.

The biggest changes may be the inclusion of risk throughout the standard.

World over, the financial community is increasingly getting inclined to measure the Economic Value Added (EVA). EVA is the profit earned by the enterprise minus the cost of financing the firm's capital. (EVA = Net Operating Profit after Tax - Cost of Capital). The idea is that value is created when the return on the firm's economic capital employed is greater than the cost of that capital. In effect, EVA can be improved by increasing profitability or by reducing cost of capital.
- The author is Nitin Dixit, Director - Strategy Projects, Asia.
EVA = Operating Profit - (Weighted Averagecost of capital X Capital Employed)
