HOW DO YOU MAKE CHANGE STICK IN MANUFACTURING?
First, you need to know what’s COMING
Second, you have to ADOPT change
Third, you need to make it STICK
The way we design, build, deliver and service the goods that fuel our lives is transforming; it is likely never to be the same
The world is undergoing a ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’, one powered by advancements such as:
- cloud computing
- big data analytics
- advanced automation
- artificial intelligence (AI)
- machine learning
- augmented and virtual reality
- Blockchain
- Internet of Things (IoT)
Forbes estimates that world investment in IoT alone is expected to exceed $267bn by the end of 2020, and Gartner says that of all the sectors, manufacturing will experience the greatest impact from AI-enabled processes
This digitalization of manufacturing is neatly summed up in five key areas:
- Augmented Reality –where a business can create and test products and situations in the virtual world
- Additive Manufacturing– building and creating products by adding layers of material based on a 3D model. Also known as 3D Printing
- Advanced Automation– the use of a new generation robotic machines that can be programmed by voice and image recognition
- Smart Factories– the use of cloud computing and IoT to connect production to demand generation, planning, production and fulfillment
- Human Factors– a re-skilled workforce that is able to embrace and deliver change and manage the shift to smart manufacturing
It is this last area, that of Human Factors, where Check-6® excels
Driven by more than a decade of experience delivering performance excellence programs into the Oil & Gas sector, Check-6® can address the following critical success factors for a manufacturing business:
- Communicating the fundamental cultural change required by the workforce to adapt to new processes and technologies
- Increasing workforce productivity
- Reducing and minimizing human error
- Ensuring standardisation of process
- Joining up fragmented and disparate business models
