Accelerate digital transformation to achieve new levels of efficiency, resilience, and quality.
Common capital goods manufacturing
challenges by role
- “Demand for our products can drop rapidly, especially during periods of slow or declining economic growth”
- “Rapid Innovation challenge- Our products have become more complex, largely because computerized sensors and controls have been added.”
- “Product life cycles are getting compressed.”
- “Massive volumes of customer, supplier, factory, and market data available but not being used effectively to drive decisions and business results”
- “We have a lack of collaboration between various links in the supply chain, causing poor insights, and poor inventory & service performance”
- “Enabling smart factory planning advancements in machinery include intelligent, autonomous "smart machines" creating massive amounts of data.”
- “We have supply chain master data challenges”
- “We have constraints not adequately modeled in the planning system – Execution deviates from the plan”
- “Slow, siloed planning processes without a clear view on constraints lead to alignment gap between planning, finance and operations execution”
- “Increasing volatility of raw material and commodity costs. Costs for raw materials like aluminum, steel, copper, and plastics can fluctuate sharply from year to year impacting margins.”
- “Our AOP /finance process is disconnected from the rolling forecasts of our S&OP process”
- “Capturing emerging market growth is a priority as demand in developed countries such as China, India, South Korea, and Japan is expected to drive the market.”
Aim big, start small, iterate rapidly.
