This Selection Guide includes both selection criteria and strategies for choosing the optimum Main Automation Contractor to manage your project.
Main Automation Contractor Overview
The scope of the criteria cover the needs of customers in selection of a Main Automation Contractor (MAC) for both Brownfield or Greenfield projects. The guide allows those involved in specifying a Main Automation Contractor make faster, better, and more rigorous decisions.
The need for a qualified Main Automation Contractor has never been more important than it is today. With corporate staffing as lean as it is, and expansion projects focused on higher quality, quantities and greater agility, selecting the right MAC is critical for insuring project success.
Main Automation Contractor selection has become mission-critical. In major projects, the role of the MAC and the products they specify, have become extremely complex and challenging to manage. The MAC role includes a combination of technology, training, and long term support over a wide range of technologies and systems. While products play a major role in selection, potential MAC suppliers also have differing levels of domain expertise, geographical presence, knowledge of vertical industries, and project execution methodology. These must all be evaluated in the MAC supplier selection process.
