Over the past decade, advanced industrial companies have significantly enhanced productivity across manufacturing value chains. Disruptive technologies such as the Industrial (IIoT), AI, machine learning, advanced automation, robotics, and additive manufacturing are used to drive performance.
However, integrating these disruptive technologies requires a corresponding shift in management practices, which poses challenges for many organizations to adjust infrastructure to manage people, processes, and systems to support uninterrupted production. These technologies fundamentally alter operations and how companies approach business models and customer expectations, including demands for lower-cost services and mobile-friendly applications.
The APO has offered capacity-building initiatives in response to the challenges of disruptive technologies in recent years. This e-course is another effort to enhance the management of disruptive technologies in the manufacturing sector.
