Smart Manufacturing (SM) strategies have been evolving for
the last decade among large corporations and many small and medium
manufacturers (SMMs) might not realize that these strategies are not only
applicable to them but are within reach when implemented in practical steps.
This MESA guidebook discusses how SMMs have been implementing
Smart Manufacturing initiatives and realizing not only the benefits of
increased transparency and productivity, but also the transformative benefits
of higher levels of coordination and speed within the enterprise and supply
chain.
The intended audience for this
guidebook includes business owners as well as champions for digital
transformation and continuous improvement within Operations, Engineering,
Quality, and IT staff.
