Problems manufacturers face
Manufacturers face a variety of challenges including cost pressures, global competition, increased regulation, digital transformation and Industry 4.0, and a shortage of skilled workers. To mitigate these issues and remain competitive in the marketplace, manufacturers can focus on increasing efficiency and productivity in the manufacturing process by implementing lean manufacturing principles such as Six Sigma and Kaizen. Additionally, companies can explore automation and other technologies that can help to reduce labor costs and increase productivity. Navigating regulations can be achieved by working with regulatory agencies to understand the requirements and develop a compliance plan. Leveraging technology and data management, such as automation, IoT, machine learning, and other advanced technologies can streamline operations, improve efficiency and flexibility, and increase competitiveness. Investing in training and development programs to upskill existing employees and attract new talent, offering competitive compensation and benefits packages, and flexible work arrangements can help to attract and retain skilled workers. Finally, manufacturers can also look into various forms of financing, such as invoice financing or asset-based lending, to ease cash flow and fund their growth plans.
Problems Rise in manufacturing environment
According to industry experts, the most critical problem that can face any manufacturing environment through the production process is the cost of poor quality (COPQ) because of its direct effect on reducing the manufacturing process efficiency and that most of COPQ causes are hidden and not directly noticeable.
Digital Twin
Digital twin refers to a digital replica of physical assets, processes and systems that can be used for various purposes. The digital representation provides both the elements and the dynamics of how an IoT device, equipment, or machine operates and lives throughout its life cycle.
