Expert’s View Point

M

anufacturing has emerged as one of the growing sectors in the world.

Manufacturing is an industry with multiple aspects: investments, raw materials, production equipment, coordination, planning, organizing, human resources and the most important changing customer needs. Here, data is created at every point.

Understanding and analyzing the massive amount of manufacturing data is important to increase the efficiency of the manufacturer.

Analytics is the process of discovering and communicating the meaningful patterns which can be found in data. Analytics turns data into insight for making better decisions.

Manufacturing Industries generate an enormous volume of data, but many have failed to make proper use of this mountain of potential intelligence.

Use of analytics in manufacturing sector provides actionable insights that help company’s most important business decision: which products are yielding lower margins? How to increase profitability by understanding customer needs and category performance? How to improve product scheduling and sales forecasting? how to reduce costs and increase efficiency? How to improve production, plant performance, and product? Since products are at the core of a manufacturing business, the initial focus of analytics is aimed at improvising product development. Other common focus areas include optimizing the supply chain, managing sales and marketing spend, reducing warranty spend, and improving overall fiscal management. Breakthrough observations in these fields can have a good impact on business performance and give an impressive turn to the company.

Manufacturers can combine existing data with historical data using analytics to build a projection of what purchasing trends will be in the mere future.

Also, the use of analytics helps manufacturers solve previously impossible problems and reveal interesting information that they never knew about. These predictive insights are based not just on historical data, but on processes and how well lines are operating, leading to smarter risk management and less production waste.

To conclude, manufacturers must implement analytics in chunks that will deliver incremental value to the organization in a timely manner. This helps build a positive drive and generates benefits. Manufacturers need to create a closed-loop analytics strategy, in which existing business objectives and analytics projects and capabilities are discussed resulting in a phased strategy that aligns with the organization’s priorities in the upcoming years. Evaluate the results obtained and then adjust the strategy on what you learn.

Analytics has the potential to supercharge the manufacturing business and give a competitive edge in the marketplace.

M A N U F A C T U R I N G A New Trend in the Manufacturing Industry

T

he manufacturing sector is under tremendous pressure to achieve reasonable costs and reduce environmental impact, which has made it integrated and complex. Cloud Manufacturing (CM) offers a solution for the manufacturers in this department. CM is a service business model, which deploys the manufacturing capabilities using the cloud platforms. This empowers enhanced decision-making practices and it can provide the most sustainable and robust manufacturing route available. The manufacturing resources and capabilities can be transformed into the services that can be managed and operated in an intelligent and unified way. CM provides safe, reliable, high quality, and on-demand manufacturing services for the whole lifestyle of manufacturing.

Classification Cloud Manufacturing comprises two types. The first one deals with the deployment of manufacturing software on the cloud platform.

The second one deals with a broader scope of management, engineering-abilities, and designs for the manufacturing corporations. This system deals with both material and non-material laboratories implemented in the manufacturing cloud to support the whole supply chain. Expenditures are shared on the basis of resource networks. Consequently, the use of rarely used equipment's rises and costs of expensive equipment’s are reduced.

Cloud Deployment Methods There are four types of cloud deployment: Private cloud This refers to the centralized management efforts in which the manufacturing services are shared in one company or its subsidiaries. Corporation's missioncritical and core-business are often kept in the cloud in such scenario.

Community Cloud This is a collaborative method in which the manufacturing service is shared between the several organizations centered towards the common goal.

Public Cloud The key concept of using the public cloud lies in sharing manufacturing services

September 2018|

29

with the public in a multi-tenant environment.

Hybrid Cloud This model comprises the composition of two or more clouds services connected. These are distinct entities; however, they are often bound together. The benefit offered by this model is being able to deploy multiple deployment modes.

The Transition towards the Cloud Manufacturing Firms that ponder the question of whether or not move to the cloud manufacturing will be left behind in the forthcoming future. Corporations must be ready for shifting and evolving constantly in order to preserve their existence. By implementing the CM, the industries will improve their efficiencies and can ensure that their quality is always high alongside being fast and responsive.

Modern Manufacturers cannot solely depend on the on-premise and most hosted private cloud to keep up with the industries' ever-increasing demands and complexities. However, with the implementation of the CM, they will be able to turn on new facilities and labs quickly. Furthermore, it can support in the crisis of market fluctuations because the cloud platforms provide scalability.

Resources From the point of the manufacturing industry, each kind of manufacturing capabilities requires the support of manufacturing resources. These capabilities have two forms i.e. Soft and hard resources.

Soft Resources Software This part includes all the installed applications throughout the product life circle. This includes design, analysis,

30

simulation, planning, and many more.

Skill It requires the expertise in performing any specific manufacturing task.

Knowledge It includes the experience and expertise for the completion of a product. It comprises engineering knowledge, evaluations, structures, procedures, results, and many more.

Personnel The human resource engaged in the manufacturing process. This includes the designers, operators, technicians, project team, etc.

Business Network It entails the relationship and opportunity networks that are available in an enterprise.

Experience It consists of the experience and performance, and quality of clients, customers, etc.

Hard Resources Manufacturing Equipment The equipment needed in facilities/plants for the completion of any manufacturing task.

Surveillance Resource The devices used to identify and control the other manufacturing resources.

Computational resources The computing devices required to support the production process, which includes the servers, computers, drives, etc.

Storage It includes the automated storage, retrieval systems, logic controllers, volume capacity, and location of warehouses, etc.

Materials This includes the input and output material in a production system.

Transportation The movement of manufacturing input and output from one location to another is covered under this resource i.e. the mode of transport.

The Benefits of Cloud Manufacturing The CM provides several benefits for the manufacturing corporations. The biggest is in the form of assessment for the IT departments. The IT teams do not need to keep updating the hardware and software alongside its security and maintenance. Moreover, the cloud service provider has to manage the whole cloud platform and its issues.

Small business, even the large companies that comprise the small IT teams can take full advantage of this technology. Another benefit lies in the reduction of capital expenditures because the cloud computing eliminates the long-term costs that occur in the manufacturing ERPs. In terms of deployment, CM allows the rapid and safe deployments, all while keeping process quick and automated.

These benefits make it easy for the corporations to stay at the top of production and deployment.

The cloud computing is changing every facet of the cloud manufacturing.

It is helping in operating, integrating the supply chains and designs for the proper manufacturing of products.

With the help of CM, the manufacturers can innovate, reduce costs, and can increase competitiveness. Corporations can use CM in streaming the manufacturing process by visualization, social collaboration, secure transactions, all this while controlling the costs and contributing to the industry 4.0 successfully.
