Manufacturing is no longer the simple production of a mutually exclusive product. Components are produced and combined as part of an integrated global supply chain. Manufacturers source and produce thousands of components for clients across a broad global portfolio from many global locations dependent on skills, expertise, raw materials, and proximity to clients. Ensuring optimal efficiency in the global production supply chain is critical to today’s modern manufacturers.
Challenges for the Manufacturing Industry
- Centralized Control – Increasing demand for centralization of enterprise resource planning applications as manufacturing activities are spread across different geographies to leverage on low cost manufacturing and mitigate supply chain risks
- Agility – Build anticipatory/adaptive supply chain management to response to supply chain disruption such as spike in demand, natural disaster or supplier delivery failure
- Efficiency – Just in time manufacturing means service disruptions will result in cost and productivity losses
- Connectivity – receiving dynamic files from software packages like AutoCAD over traditional WANs can be time consuming and unproductive
- Learning – Machine to Machine communication and the advent of the connected device means that collection manipulation and use of big data from each machine is essential to drive efficiencies in a global supply chain
- Availability – Complex supply chain of employees, suppliers and customers that require 24/7 business systems availability and collaboration capability
