SUPPLY CHAIN to take because we ' re not going to find the solutions on our own .”
This sentiment is highlighted in the construction of a new Research and Technology centre in Turin , which adds to the company ’ s existing satellite R & D centre portfolio across Brazil , China and Malaysia , for example .
These centres represent Petronas ’ commitment to technology and attract technology companies to work with PLI to innovate or create new products .
As PLI continues its transformational journey , James admits that it is a journey that will never truly end . As the industry evolves , so will PLI .
“ As at now , we are 85 % on the route to efficiency and effectiveness ,” he says . “ But there will always be more to do as the bar continues to get higher .”
“ The future is going to be defined by digital space and data . It ’ s going to be less about looking back on what data has told us but more about what insights and foresights we can gain about our business .
“ For us , it ’ s about being agile and leveraging technology to connect our supply chains . We have to be ready today , for what tomorrow will bring .”
