Digital transformation in manufacturing
Summary
In collaboration with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), the report draws on data from close to 600 manufacturing companies in 30 countries that underwent the Official SIRI Assessment (OSA): a two-day independent review of a factory or plant. These developments will reshape the global manufacturing landscape and companies from these leading sectors – as long-standing pioneers of innovation and adopters of new concepts and technologies – must confront these topics proactively to redefine them into opportunities for all. Through the COVID-19 pandemic, SMEs continue to face intense short-term business pressures, limited expertise and tight resources, all of which hinder the adoption of new advanced manufacturing processes and technologies. The insights and real-life case studies presented in this report will provide public and private sector stakeholders with the ability to develop tailored interventions and uncover new opportunities that digital transformation can offer.” Raimund Klein,Chief Executive Officer of INCIT, said: “We are confident that the findings from this second edition of the Manufacturing Transformation Insights Report will modernise the way by which the global manufacturing community approaches digitalisation. As we progress into the post-COVID new normal, we invite manufacturers – of all sizes and industries – to take decisive action by leveraging the SIRI Programme to set themselves on the right trajectory for transformation.”
