The New Manufacturing Value Chain

We are in the early stages of a transformational period in our economic and digital age that will revolutionize the manufacturing value chain. As this period progresses, there will be opportunities to optimize key activities across manufacturing, supply chain planning, distribution, procurement, and contracting. Organizations that apply Generative AI, business intelligence (BI), machine learning (ML), and advanced analytics will unlock trillions of dollars in economic value, reduce working capital and waste, increase agility, and make better decisions.
Unlike other sources that may address these technologies in isolation or focus on generic applications, The New Manufacturing Value Chain provides a comprehensive framework that integrates these powerful tools into every aspect of manufacturing, from design to after-market service. It explores the many ways in which ML, AI, BI, advanced analytics, and Generative AI are harnessed to gain real-time visibility into production metrics, equipment performance, and supply chain dynamics. By leveraging cutting-edge algorithms and tools, manufacturers can optimize processes and achieve superior performance. This book will show you how. Its practical approach ensures that readers can immediately apply what they learn to their work environments.
