3. FUTURE-READY MANUFACTURING
 The future of manufacturing is smart. Smart manufacturing marries information,
technology and human ingenuity to bring about a rapid revolution in the
development and application of manufacturing intelligence to every aspect of
business.
 Smart manufacturing is on a transformation journey. Flexible factories and
demand-driven supply chains will change manufacturing processes to allow
manufacturers to customize products to individual needs. Customers will ‘tell’ a
factory what car to manufacture, what features to build into a personal computer
or how to tailor a pair of jeans for a perfect fit.

4.  Smart manufacturing focus on enhancing operational excellence, rather than on
capacity creation.
 As manufacturing facilities move towards the smart factory concept, there will be a
need for real-time performance management across multiple facilities.
 Adoption of advanced solutions leads to high levels of data availability, which will
further create a need for robust control, capable of converting it into actionable
intelligence and enhanced operational excellence.
 In order for the plant to operate in a dynamic, integrated, mobile, real-time
connected environment, it is essential to have shop floor connectivity and
collaboration, logistics, asset and supply chain tracking, operations workflow
automation, unified communications, control system flexibility, security and
personnel tracking, and integrated business and plant data.

5. Problems faced by Indian manufacturing
Industries
 Lack of innovation and technologies in production process, planning, machine
capability etc. are rampant.
 Cost and Fragmentation of Transportation and Logistics.
 Transportation is very costly and slow in India. It can take long delivery time to
get products to the coasts from some places in India.
 Shortage of skilled persons in the market. ITI and other technical training centers
are producing the skilled labor who are using old technologies and they are not a
ready fit for market. Industries had to invest in them to bring them to a level.
 Alternate job opportunities for today’s young generation is more and due to this,
few are working in Manufacturing Industry. Now this has an impact on the growth
and affecting the economy too.

6. Indian Government Initiatives
Some of the notable initiatives and developments to promote a healthy environment for the

graduate and undergrad students and technology.
 University has to commit innovating applied research for product design,
technology commercialization, and manufacturing for industry through its
programs.
 University has to conduct one-week training camps for high-school teachers to
work hands-on with metals, ceramics, polymers and composites and learn how to
incorporate these activities and demos into their science classes.

15. Ensuring data security
 Reliability of network and resources is very crucial for guaranteeing uninterrupted
manufacturing. The telecom network has to highly reliable and should have
back-up layer incorporated in it.
 As far as accessibility of data security technology goes – yes it does exist and we
have seen how Indian IT companies use this technology to service their
multinational clients in financial and insurance domain.
 In terms of reliability of the network, well with frequent call drops, it does put a
question mark. But for sure this can be achieved by having primary and
secondary lines in place.
 The companies will also have to invest in DR/BCP processes designed specifically
for the plants.

16. Embracing additive manufacturing and 3D
printing

17.  Additive manufacturing is the industrial production name for 3Dprinting a
computer controlled process that creates three dimensional objects by depositing
materials, usually in layers.
 Using computer aided design or 3D object scanners, additive manufacturing allows
for the creation of objects with precise geometric shapes. These are built layer by
layer which is in contrast to traditional manufacturing that often requires
machining or other techniques to remove surplus material.
 It Reduces Waste Production.
 It Saves on Energy Costs.
 It Is Easy to Change or Revise Versions of a Product.

achieved in India, where there is large IT workforce.
 More and more producers has to embrace the Made-to-Order (MTO) and
Configure / Engineer-to-Order (CTO/ETO) production models as against the
Make-to-Stock (MTS) – this is possible only through standardization and
analyzing the complete product life cycle.
 The reality is that standardization has become a necessity to remain competitive
in market.

19. Optimizing inventory level
 By reducing its inventory at scale, the company is able to drive significant financial
benefits whilst continuing to produce highly complex industrial equipment.
 Reductions of up to 35% can be achieved by the manufacturer as a result of the
implementation of the Inventory Optimization solution.
 Dynamically optimize inventory levels using a stochastic optimization algorithm.
 Invest into Inventory Optimization Technology. A centralized inventory
management system coupled with inventory optimization software will enable a
company to better track inventory levels and prepare for unexpected events.

20. Managing the Cultural Impact in Manufacturing
 Culture is a powerful, latent and often unconscious set of forces that determine both of
our individual and collective behavior
 Culture is playing major role for any company want to adapt new method, techniques or
new system.
 The impact on the people involved needs to be a key consideration when putting a
strategy and implementation plan in place.
 National culture is playing very essential role in forming the corporate culture.
 Communication at every stage is essential-particularly before implementation.
 Taking time to address any potential issues at the start of a project will ensure users are
bought into the process, enable them to understand what is expected of them, and
avoid any pitfalls further down the line.
