| digital transformation manufacturing case study: Employee-centered Industry 5.0 - Case analysis of Haier Chaoan Lai, Shiban Luo, 2024-05-08 How green digital intelligence and ecology promote enterprises to transform into industry 5.0 has attracted the attention of the industry and academia. Still, its internal driving mechanism at the micro level has not been clarified. Based on the perspective of enterprise dynamic capability and resource allocation, this paper studies the “path-process-capability” logical scheme of Industry 5.0 restructuring value chain. Firstly, the multi-case configuration analysis is carried out through focused stepwise quantitative case analysis to explore the resource collaboration path of Industry 5.0 transformation. Then, the process of digital intelligence and ecological reconstruction of the value chain is studied longitudinally for a single case, and the stage characteristics of green digital intelligence and ecology driving the Industrial 5.0 transformation of manufacturing enterprises are studied by combining the time series interval method and the critical event method. The process mechanism of digital intelligence and Industry 5.0 key capabilities are found. Aimed at the path problem of green digital intelligence and ecological reconstruction of the manufacturing value chain, based on multi-case statistical analysis and single-case in-depth analysis, the reconstruction mechanism and scheme of manufacturing ecological value chain were obtained. The research findings are as follows: firstly, four configuration forms of digital intelligence and ecological resource allocation are identified, and the rational allocation of resources is realized through the collaborative effect of resources. Secondly, the ecological process of green digital intelligence of manufacturing enterprises is based on the process of “standardization - online - integration - intelligence - ecological - Industry 5.0”, and the key technologies of each stage are identified. Third, in the transformation process of Industry 5.0, three key capabilities of enterprise digital production, digital drive, and ecological economy are constructed and data-led to promote the transformation and development of enterprise intelligent services and leverage the new business form of digital ecology. |

Based on a large scale EU-funded research project involving seven academic institutions from three continents and a network of over fifty small and medium sized enterprises, the book reveals the methods and tools required to support the successful implementation of Industry 4.0 along with practical examples. |
| digital transformation manufacturing case study: The Digital Project Management Evolution Shafiz Yusof, Kamal Jaafar, 2019-10-16 Project management dates back to the 19th century when Henry Gantt developed techniques for planning and controlling projects, including his widely used Gantt chart. The growth of modern project management later in the century came as a result of the necessity of structured manufacturing, transportation, and construction industries. Currently, software developers in the information technology (IT) industry are concerned with the techniques of project management which make the assumption projects are predictable. In reality, unforeseen changes have occurred in almost all projects to date. The inability to accommodate such changes leads to wasted time, money, and resources. Hence, the project management discipline must continuously offer theories, methods, and approaches that raise the key question: how do people manage the complexities of work in order to achieve the end result effectively and efficiently by applying strategic techniques using information technology as an enabler? This book aims to showcase the nuts and bolts of managing and implementing an IT project from the experiences and views of project managers. The book highlights captivating narratives of different IT projects being implemented in companies across the Middle East. It is ideal for executives, practitioners, and students who want to learn more about how IT project management is implemented in the 21st century. |
| digital transformation manufacturing case study: Dual Transformation Scott D. Anthony, Clark G. Gilbert, Mark W. Johnson, 2017-03-28 Game-changing disruptions will likely unfold on your watch. Be ready. In Dual Transformation, Scott Anthony, Clark Gilbert, and Mark Johnson propose a practical and sustainable approach to one of the greatest challenges facing leaders today: transforming your business in the face of imminent disruption. Dual Transformation shows you how your company can come out of a market shift stronger and more profitable, because the threat of disruption is also the greatest opportunity a leadership team will ever face. Disruptive change opens a window of opportunity to create massive new markets. It is the moment when a market also-ran can become a market leader. It is the moment when business legacies are created. That moment starts with the core dual transformation framework: Transformation A: Repositioning today’s business to maximize its resilience, such as how Adobe boldly shifted from selling packaged software to providing software as a service. Transformation B: Creating a new growth engine, such as how Amazon became the world’s largest provider of cloud computing services. Capabilities link: Fighting unfairly by taking advantage of difficult-to-replicate assets without succumbing to the “sucking sound of the core.” Anthony, Gilbert, and Johnson also address the characteristics leaders must embrace: courage, clarity, curiosity, and conviction. Without them, dual transformation efforts can founder. Building on lessons from diverse companies, such as Adobe, Manila Water, and Netflix, and a case study from Gilbert’s firsthand experience transforming his own media and publishing company, Dual Transformation will guide executives through the journey of creating the next version of themselves, allowing them to own the future rather than be disrupted by it. |
| digital transformation manufacturing case study: The Impact of Global Industrial Manufacturing and the Development Strategy of New Energy and New Technologies under the Action of Carbon Reduction Wen-Tsao Pan, Keping Yu, Yiwen Zhang, Weilin Xiao, Chi Lau, Shan Shan, 2024-01-26 In the context of the climate crisis, governments reached a consensus on promoting enterprises and organizations to take relevant carbon reduction actions in the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 26) held in Glasgow on November 1, 2021. The topic of carbon reduction will continue to be discussed at the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2022. The international community expects all parties to truly implement their commitments to reduce emissions and take joint actions to effectively address the crises and challenges brought about by climate change. Carbon dioxide will lead to the global average temperature warming year by year. The use of coal, oil and natural gas and the emission of exhaust gas are the main driving factors of global warming. In addition, the causes of global warming also include the reduction of plants due to deforestation. |

| digital transformation manufacturing case study: Adopting and Adapting Innovation in Japan's Digital Transformation Anshuman Khare, William W. Baber, 2023-05-23 This book explores how the business transformation taking place in Japan is influenced by the digital revolution. The chapters present approaches and examples from sectors commonly understood to be visible arenas of digital transformation—3D printing and mobility, for instance—as well as some from not-so-obvious sectors, such as retail, services, and fintech. Business today is facing unprecedented change especially due to the adoption of new, digital technologies, with a noticeable transformation of manufacturing and services. The changes have been brought by advanced robotics, the emergence of artificial intelligence, and digital networks that are growing in size and capability as the number of connected devices explodes. In addition, there are advanced manufacturing and collaborative connected platforms, including machine-to-machine communications. Adoption of digital technology has caused process disruptions in both the manufacturing and services sectors and led to new business models and new products. While examining the preparedness of the Japanese economy to embrace these changes, the book explores the impact of digitally influenced changes on some selected sectors from a Japanese perspective. It paints a big picture in explaining how a previously manufacturing-centric, successful economy adopts change to retain and rebuild success in the global environment. Japan as a whole is embracing, yet also avoiding—innovating but also restricting—various forms of digitalization of life and work. The book, with its 12 chapters, is a collaborative effort of individuals contributing diverse points of view as technologists, academics, and managers. |
