If you believe most of the #manufacturing world is still stuck in an “Industry 3.0” mindset, you’re right. The conversation around manufacturing efficiency has reached a crossroads. While some industry veterans cling to the principles of mass production and economies of scale, a new reality is taking shape. Lean principles, once the cornerstone of assembly line optimization, offer a unique opportunity to redefine the global supply chain. Many large manufacturers consider lean methodology to be outdated, and they're correct. In its original form, it's ill-equipped to handle the complexities of a robotics-driven world. However, the core principles of lean – identifying and eliminating waste – remain as relevant as ever. The challenge lies in adapting these principles to a new landscape. #Cobots and #AMRs are dismantling the rigidities of the traditional assembly line, enabling a more dynamic and adaptable production environment. #LeanManufacturing must now account for this shift. The industry is stuck in “Industry 3.0”, a framework built for a world that no longer exists. Instead, we need to embrace a future where human-robot collaboration and real-time data analysis drive efficiency. There’s a concerning lag in the industry right now, with consultants and manufacturers seemingly content with the status quo. However, widespread adoption of a modern, robotics-informed lean approach has the potential to revolutionize global competitiveness. We might be lacking research into the effectiveness of lean manufacturing in the new world, but there is plenty of evidence around us to demonstrate a need to change. Do you think an evolution is needed? Do you think manufacturing is ready for the future now? #Industry50 #FutureOfManufacturing #IndustryTransformation    For those interested in delving deeper, I recommend taking a look at this article from last year in IndustryWeek.

With manufacturing technology ever changing, keeping this mindset will be an anchor to your success.

Pretty solid book series to help see the future of manufacturing and integrate into strategic planning!!

VIDEO. Strategic Questioning. You have a brain and you use it. Just like these guys. Some clients want you to think about how they can build their business into a very big one. But you think other things too. Manufacturing, for one. There its a restoring trend in bringing production back to North America. But 'Show me restoring companies making more money' Bottom like and Business Economics thinking. You have to think and consider Cost, Quality, Risk, Production, Carbon Footprint, Regulation, Trade War, but you have to look at new Incentives and subsidies now being introduced, an increasing deployment of robots and automation. And just how smart is your factory today, and are you making it smarter?
