SAP LEAP: Manufacturing White Paper

Automation is a normal part of manufacturing and has been for a long time. Repetitive tasks are carried out by machines and the numbers of factory operatives are declining in number, but rising in skill level. They make the key decisions that control fleets of assets, driving higher levels of efficiency and quality across the production value chain. Manufacturers are dealing with fundamental changes in every part of their operations, with a growing demand for higher product customization making traditional manufacturing processes no longer fit for purpose. In this paper we want to look at just three especially important trends, because we think these will define the next evolutionary stages for most manufacturers in most sectors. These trends are:

1. Hyper-customization.

2. Localized manufacturing.

3. New ownership models.

In this White Paper NTT Data  take a brief look at them all. download it here to learn more
