On this episode of the Future-Proof Operations podcast, Jens Fath, Partner, Advisory, Operations Transformation at PwC Deutschland, joins host Benjamin Brockmann to talk about tech transformations in smart manufacturing.
Jens helps increase factory efficiency by optimizing processes from top floor to shop floor by transitioning to fully-integrated, future-ready IT architecture.
Industry 4.0 is as relevant as ever before, with the focus shifting from pursuing fancy projects to integrated scenarios, end-to-end operations, and IoT.
Benjamin and Jens talk about potential obstacles to tech transformations or digitization projects.
Sometimes, lighthouse projects are designed without the possibility to scale, which does not allow for getting the best value out of the integrated processes. Additionally, there should be a sense of urgency within the organization to help move forward the change process.
Tech transformations can be bigger than initially expected. In these cases, it is essential to have a business process owner organization in place. Another key component for success is having a clear demand management.
