Global need for digital manufacturing
- 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
- Bring transformation to the shop floor: digitization and shedding manual tasks will transform production workplaces through developing new capabilities
- 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
