Manufacturing Industry Webinar Series
Improving High-Mix, Low-Volume Shops with Data and AI
All value add activities in a shop environment usually target one of the following:
1) Planning;
2) Execution; and
3) Continuous Improvement.
HMLV shops are the most complex operations in manufacturing and the ERP or MES tools are generally inadequate because of inherent shortcomings in their functionalities and/or due to lack of good data resulting in GIGO (garbage in - garbage out). We will discuss how digital twin technology aided by AI is a game changer for HMLV shops, resulting in double digit KPI (revenue, profits, cash flow, on-time-delivery) benefits. Examples from real HMLV shops will be included.
