New Challenges in Manufacturing Brought by Digital Transformation
Traditional manufacturing processes fail to adapt to digitization, leaving Field knowledge underutilized.
For the most part, this sense of misalignment is dismissed as a minor, personal issue.
Yet, it is precisely this assumption that deserves to be questioned.
While digital transformation promises efficiency, the reality of the Field is not reflected, making decision-making difficult.
As competition intensifies and rapid responsiveness is demanded, the adoption of digital tools accelerates. How can we digitize Field knowledge
and leverage it for decision-making?
Current digital tools fail to reflect the actual conditions of the Field, making effective operation difficult.
Development of interfaces and protocols to integrate Field expertise into digital tools.
Conventional models fail to fully utilize Field insights, diminishing the effectiveness of digitization.
The market quietly begins to attain a name only after observation.
A gap still remains between the screen at headquarters and the hands in the Field.
The moments when judgments diverge are rarely captured in logs.
Veterans detect anomalies through subtle differences in sound. Young workers have not yet memorized those sounds. Tacit knowledge still resides within someone's physical body.
Numbers on a dashboard cannot move anyone's hands.
The conference rooms at headquarters lack the temperature of the Field.
The intuition of the experienced has not yet been fully passed on to the young.
For now, keeping it on HOLD is fine.
