Manufacturers are under pressure to improve productivity efficiency, profitability and innovation. Insuring that data assets are accessible and secure is an essential initiative. In this session hear from Michael Watson from Microsoft and Martin Boyd of Profisee for specific steps you can take to establish an established and reliable data foundation in place that can stay competitive with real-time industry insights drive the speed, efficiency and effectiveness of your business.
Manufacturing must take advantage of and harness the data to become a digitally streamlined and successful business. But how do you accomplish this in the event that your data source is incongruous, insufficient, or incomplete? A successful manufacturing data management plan requires a determination to have a strong and effective governance system in place to ensure that critical information is collected and stored in a timely manner, and easily accessible and used at any time you need it.
More and more, top performers in the manufacturing sector are adopting a more holistic approach to data management which includes the implementation of an MDM hub to consolidate customer, vendor and product information into one repository. This makes it easy for teams to access the information they require and makes it easier for them to collaborate.
This allows manufacturers to create a digital thread of what happens to their parts throughout the production process and is crucial to troubleshooting production issues and optimizing tests and processes. It enables you to identify the issues that occurred on a particular machine during a specific production run and why, which helps you respond quicker in the event of a crisis, and also become more resilient as an organisation.
