It seems like the term ‘Digital Transformation’ is everywhere these days. But what does it really mean for manufacturing operations? Digital transformation means adopting technologies into all areas of your business, fundamentally changing how you operate and deliver value to customers.

Digital transformation impacts your products, processes, and strategies, from your data and analytics to your business model, to your customer experience. For manufacturing operations, it encompasses improvements in quality, safety, efficiency, throughput, revenue, and sustainability, while lowering costs and improving competitiveness. Technology accelerates performance, agility, and resilience, and helps to mitigate risk.

Putting the right technology in place is one aspect of making your digital transformation. Having the right business strategies in place to guide your technology is just as critical. Mat Witte, SVP of ORTEC Americas and two-time Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pro to Know, talks about what it takes to be successful – looking beyond short-term gains in the first or second year to drive long-term results.
