Os seguintes insights fazem parte da BCG's Build for the Future Série, com base em três anos de pesquisa realizada em transformações digitais nas principais organizações do mundo. Eles precisam aumentar a produtividade em suas fábricas, mas também reduzir seus
Manufacturers face a tough set of challenges right now. They need to boost productivity in their factories, but also reduce their Pegada ambiental . Eles precisam ser mais flexíveis e adaptáveis para responder com sucesso às condições de mercado em rápida mudança. E eles estão lutando para recrutar, Upskill e manter os melhores talentos. Afaste -se de qualquer um desses desafios é difícil; Abordar todos eles requer uma nova abordagem. Chamamos isso de fábrica do futuro (FOF). Os fabricantes em todo o mundo já começaram a aplicar essas idéias e já estão vendo resultados. (Consulte “Construa para o futuro.”)
BCG has assembled a large and growing body of research about how manufacturers can dramatically improve performance across all these dimensions. We call it the factory of the future (FoF). Manufacturers worldwide have already started applying these ideas, and they are already seeing results. (See “Build for the Future.”)
Build for the Future
Our latest survey asked all participants about five areas that are fundamental to success, the emphasis of transformation efforts, how successful they have been, and the degree to which each of more than 50 potential influencing capabilities were in place. We then used the resulting data set to analyze which combination of capabilities, if built sufficiently well, had the biggest impact on future readiness and which combination differentiated future-built organizations from those facing a greater risk of disruption. Six attributes emerged from this analysis and, in our judgment, serve as the best descriptors for leading companies.
From this research, we identified the path that companies must take to become built for the future. We’ve reconciled the challenge of what these companies need to do (identifying which initiatives drive the most value by sector) with how to do it (determining which capabilities drive success and how to build them fast). CEOs can tailor this new playbook to their company-specific change agendas. Learn more about our Build for the Future campaign Aqui.
Necessário: Uma abordagem abrangente
Most manufacturing companies have launched digital initiatives in their facilities, but these are often isolated initiatives that are not sufficiently comprehensive. Consider that in a recent BCG survey of 1,800 executives, 89% regard advanced manufacturing technologies like AI as crucial, but only 68% have implemented at least one AI use case, with a mere 16% successfully achieving their targets.
Instead, manufacturers need a broader and more strategic approach to fundamentally change performance on the shop floor: the factory of the future.
- Five critical elements make up the FoF approach: the optimization dimensions of digitization and automation, lean processes, and an effective structure, along with a foundation of people and technology infrastructure.
- Mais de 50% dos executivos de manufatura classificaram o potencial de melhoria em todos os principais desafios - produtividade, sustentabilidade, flexibilidade e talento - através da abordagem FOF. Apenas 16% estão escalando seus esforços para construir para o futuro e apenas 3% são totalmente construídos no futuro. Dimensões
- Most manufacturers have significant work ahead. Only 16% are scaling their efforts to build for the future, and just 3% are fully future-built.
Core Elements of the Factory of the Future
Building the factory of the future is a significant task that involves focusing on three optimization dimensions—along with two foundational dimensions—to continuously improve the factory.
Optimization Dimensions
- Digitalização e automação. Estrutura e layout da planta em termos de ativos, passarelas, posicionamento de inventário, particularmente para apoiar a flexibilidade e a agilidade. Building real-time transparency, increasing predictability, and automating plants via self-controlled systems.
- Lean Processes. Improving plant processes through lean principles in combination with Industry 4.0.
- Effective Structure. Adapting the plant’s structure and layout in terms of assets, walkways, inventory positioning, particularly to support flexibility and agility.
Dimensões fundamentais
- Pessoas. Estratégia. Recruiting the right talent, upskilling the workforce through capability-building programs, creating the right governance (including organization structure, roles and responsibilities, processes, and incentives and KPIs), and developing a strong change management and communication strategy.
- Tecnologia. Avaliando e selecionando os provedores certos para hardware e software necessários. criando uma vantagem de pessoas diferenciadas; Construindo um Building the right tech stack; assessing and selecting the right providers for required hardware and software.
These foundational dimensions for FoF success directly align with the six key attributes that enable a future-built company: aligning leadership around a corporate purpose; creating a differentiated people advantage; building an ágil e modelo operacional resiliente; promover uma cultura orientada à inovação; incorporação AI na organização; e migrando para plataformas tecnológicas modernizadas. Em nossa análise, os fabricantes avançados lideram seus pares nos seis atributos principais por uma margem significativa, particularmente na incorporação da IA em suas operações, onde se destacam em 50%. Eles também alocam recursos para projetos que serão recompensados. Especificamente, as empresas avançadas alocam 2,5 vezes mais de seus gastos operacionais em direção a iniciativas de FOF em comparação com seus pares, resultando em operações digitais e pontuações de capacidade de fabricação 30% mais altas que as de seus pares. Abaixo
All optimization and foundational dimensions need to be considered holistically and cannot be addressed on their own.
Measurable Gains on the Shop Floor
What sets top performers apart? In our analysis, advanced manufacturers lead their peers across all six key attributes by a significant margin, particularly in embedding AI into their operations, where they excel by 50%. They also allocate resources to projects that will pay off. Specifically, advanced companies allocate 2.5 times more of their operational spending toward FoF initiatives compared with their peers, resulting in digital operations and manufacturing capability scores that are 30% higher than those of their peers.
