SPRINTER 2 - MANUFACTURING CO-CREATION ACCELERATOR

Bringing together pioneers to reinvent manufacturing industry

THE NEXT NORMAL - SHIFTING INDUSTRY LANDSCAPE

The pandemic forced countries and regions to be the first region to lockdown and hence freezing production, leading to delays of shipments, impacting inventory management. Lately, the world’s consumer market is gradually resumes, the explosive demand is creating a huge mismatch between production and raw material supply, disrupting the whole supply chain and manufacturing business. Here are some key challenges and opportunities:
 
  • Timely replenishment to overcome material shortage
  • High-mix, low-volume (HMLV), and smaller batch products are proliferating
  • Immediate response to market, more predictive capabilities
  • Improve end-to-end supply-chain visibility
  • Demand for automation and robotics to stem worker shortages

TECHNOLOGIES APPLY ALONG THE VALUE CHAIN

Today, manufacturing business is more competitive than ever, advanced- manufacturing technologies are grabbing the attention of manufacturing leaders as it offers an intelligent, more streamlined supply chain process, providing better visibility and predictive capability. AI, automation, connectivity, advanced analytics were gaining momentum, however not every aspect can easily implement technologies, our partners identified the scope of work has high tendency to change, and their key considerations:
 
 
High tendency to change
 
  • Repetitive works such as painting, picking & packing
  • Documentation, data entry, order-taking
  • Logistics and inventory control within the production site
  • Resources planning (human and materials) and quality checks
  • Machinery maintenance and monitoring
     
 
Key considerations
 
  • Reliability, ground supports and maintenance
  • Project implementation time
  • Learning cycle/ user-friendless, any programming or special skills required
  • Integrate with legacy system
  • Special requirement for infrastructure/ facilities for automation technologies
