Executive Summary
To provide a benchmark of high quality information about operational excellence programmes, Verdantix conducted 284 interviews with managers in operations, asset integrity and maintenance roles. In 2020, operational excellence budgets will increase on average by 6% compared to 2019. The survey reveals a high level of buy-in to the digitization of operational excellence strategies. Ninety-six per cent of the interviewees stated that the availability of new technology is a significant driver of spending. Fifteen per cent of respondents think that digital technology is ’essential’ to their success and a further 60% consider it is ’valuable’. APM software tops the list of the most relevant enterprise software applications with EHS software in second place. Thirty-five per cent of respondents believe that digital twins will transform their approach to operational excellence in the next five years.
