Four Key Steps for Companies to Implement Traceable Supply Chains
Biz Tech Report
November 16, 2020
More than 85% of executives believe their current supply chain capabilities will not deliver the traceability needed to remain resilient and sustainable in a post-COVID world.
Sweeping market changes have made it clear that supply chains, long managed to be cost-effective and reliable, must also now be resilient and sustainable.
Making this resilience a reality requires executives to have visibility into how materials and goods move through the chain, as well as the ability to trace inputs and outputs all the way to the hands of the customer.

Reigniting the Manufacturing Workforce After COVID-19
Meritize
May 20, 2020
In spite of turbulent changes to the U.S. manufacturing base, manufacturers continue to be a pillar of the American economy, and they have shown resilience in the wake of COVID-19 by shifting their resources to help healthcare workers. Even as manufacturers close or suspend operations and navigate an economy on lockdown and the industry sheds 4.3 million jobs, highly trained manufacturing talent will be key as the U.S. works to maintain strong supply chains and eyes an economic comeback.
How can employers and training providers ignite the U.S. manufacturing sector and retool for the needs of the new landscape? Join us for a deep dive discussion with industry experts on the impact of COVID-19 on manufacturing and how it can chart a path forward.

4IR from Buzzword to Reality: Smart Factory Adoption Rates – Best Practices and Leading Technologies
IndustryWeek
July 23, 2019
Companies are making progress in implementing new technologies, but scaling and linking investment to value remains a work in progress.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution - 4IR - has been met with both enthusiasm and fence-sitting. While sentiments and experiences have been mixed, most business leaders are now approaching 4IR with a sense of measured optimism. While they recognize the potential business value advanced manufacturing technologies can present—particularly cloud computing, advanced analytics, robotics, the industrial internet of things (IIoT), 3D printing, virtual and augmented reality—they are still deliberating how and where to invest and balancing the hype with their own level of preparedness. Meanwhile, they’re also well aware of the significant changes 4IR will bring to a new manufacturing workforce—one that is increasingly becoming a hybrid of human and machine.
There is little doubt that 4IR adoption has hit the tipping point, despite the fact that today only around 20% of companies are implementing smart factory technologies at scale. Momentum is building, however, as evidenced by the fact that 73% of manufacturers are planning to increase their investment in smart factory technology over the next year and 70% citing adopting an IoT strategy as being moderately to extremely critical. IoT and robotics have made the most inroads, with 80% of manufacturers planning to deploy sensors in operations over the next three years and 65% saying they’ve deployed applied robotics in their operations over the past three years.

But it does mean you may need to change your ways to maximize the potential to drive business. You may think there are obstacles. But it’s not money. It’s not lack of time. It’s not lack of resources. It’s you. It’s your mindset about digital strategy. It’s time to fill the gaps -- and make those aspirations a reality. Let go of your fears and let’s get started.
