Manufacturers and industrial companies involved with complex or capital equipment are by nature project-oriented. For all project manufacturers, they must maintain profitability, which is a challenge, but is sometimes even more difficult:

• If you are in defense manufacturing or a part of government supply chains where there may be cost reimbursement and cost-plus contracts
