Robot functionality is improving and costs are declining, but producers need a comprehensive vision to capture the promised value.
By leveraging data and advanced analytics, companies can provide better products and services, optimize their value chains, and maximize return on capital. Effective data-sharing applications are essential to define key success factors and to enable manufacturers to derive value from their data.
To enhance competitiveness, companies must take a clean-sheet approach to deciding what, where, and how to manufacture.
Manufacturers need to optimize for increased productivity, improved sustainability, greater resilience, and a stronger workforce. How can they harness the latest technologies to realize these goals?
Organizations must use all their data, customize and link their underlying systems, and manage the transition patiently to get the best from the new breed of IBP platforms.
Combining distributed and additive manufacturing mitigates supply chain risks by enabling fully digital interactions, better economics for producing small quantities, and flexible capacity.
Higher levels of automation and flexibility help manufacturers offset labor shortages while boosting service and safety.
What does the future of manufacturing look like? BCG's Kristian Kuhlmann explores the dimensions of optimization shaping the next level of progress.
The root cause of the problem lies not with technology but with how and where companies are applying it.
Companies often struggle to match decision-making speed with changing dynamics. That’s why a decision-led approach to end-to-end planning transformation is key.
Uncertainty looks to be the new norm for the semiconductor industry. We outline strategies to help chip customers smooth out this volatility and gain a competitive edge.
In the face of disruptions, from natural disasters to pandemics, how do we make sure supply chains can keep up? Dustin Burke, BCG managing director and partner, offers a combination of solutions to help create a more resilient, efficient tomorrow.
Eventually, once the circular value chain is mature and optimized, secondary materials will cost less than primary materials.
Tackling Scope 3 emissions is essential to reach net zero targets. But Anastasia Kouvela explains how doing so goes beyond climate benefits: aligning leaders and driving innovation to create value and reduce costs.
Supply chains generate 11.4 times more emissions than in-house operations, but only 39% of businesses engage suppliers on climate topics. Here’s how to engage them.
To slash their substantial greenhouse gas emissions, chip manufacturers must focus on turning their upstream supply chain green.
