Production and operations services

While taking a use-case-driven approach to manufacturing digitization makes sense, it also lacks the “fundamentals” that made the success of Lean Manufacturing programs:

1. Set a bold ambition, e.g., zero defects      
2. Manage the program as a cultural transformation
3. Provide tools to plant personnel and entrust them to innovate towards the ambition.

Manufacturing leaders need to pull the same levers in manufacturing transformations today:

1. Set a bold ambition – reach “closed loop” autonomous operations, with self-adapting lines
2. Manage the cultural transformation – from experience-based to data-based operations           
3. Provide the right tools – a digital twin of the line/plant and state-of-the-art analytics capabilities.

Reaching autonomous operations requires an evolved operating model, but this evolution should be structured as a progression of use cases, each contributing to the overall cultural and technology transformation. Unlike traditional IT/OT technologies, digital twins are highly flexible and can be developed in support of successive use cases, leveraging the power and scalability of the cloud.

We can help you design your roadmap to end-to-end autonomous—and sustainable—operations. We combine data, cloud and AI and apply transformative technologies like digital twin, AR, VR, IoT and the metaverse, to make the factory of the future a reality.

We’ll collaborate to reinvent every aspect of your operating model—from culture and governance to architecture and data—accelerating your manufacturing transformation, giving you agility and resiliency, as demand continues to grow for more complex, circular and personalized products.

Most importantly, we design and deliver programs for sustainable end-to-end performance improvements across

• Productivity – improved Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), improved reliability and higher yield
• Costs – lower production costs, inventory savings and reduced capital intensity
• Service – better customer service and higher flexibility
• Sustainability – reduced waste, water usage and carbon footprint
• Quality – reduced non-conformance, increased supplier quality and traceability
• Safety – risk and incident reduction and increased process safety.
