Elevate your supply chain with real-time insights, intelligent order management, and a digitally connected workforce. Explore the benefits of adopting Dynamics 365 SCM for a resilient and future-ready manufacturing operation.

Global need for digital manufacturing

1. According to the report from 2021 (Gartner), 50% of factory work is to be done remotely. The post-Covid era has clearly put new demands on skills, technology and tools of manufacturing leaders in the area of innovation. They should:
   Marry innovation and production: manufacturers, especially lean workforces, need to be ready to align their production systems with innovative operations and new metrics that would integrate the way modern factories are managed
2. Bring transformation to the shop floor: digitization and shedding manual tasks will transform production workplaces through developing new capabilities
3. Create demand for continuous improvement: successful innovation should be a collective result of project leads sharing their experiences with stakeholders in order to attract investors and stay in the game
