毫無疑問，製造業正處於復甦的時期。而跨越式創新技術的發展從本質上打破現狀，這使得製造業的新式復甦，產生震撼的變化。但是，除了製造技術外，還有另一項革命也在默默的進行，它的改變甚至超越了技術領域，那就是製造商的思維模式，更具體來說，就是工廠營運的樣板模式;如何以精實生產來進行製造商計劃、設計和生產製造。這場革命的非常簡單且具深度，其實我們可以用一個名詞來概括：專注力。 There’s no question the manufacturing industry is in the midst of a renaissance. Complete with leaps and bounds of enabling technologies fundamentally disrupting the status quo, the new renaissance is forging seismic and dynamic shifts in the space. But there is another, concurrent revolution happening within manufacturing beyond technology, and that is of the manufacturer mindset and, more specifically, the factory paradigm itself; the lens through which manufacturers plan, design and operate the shop floor. This revolution is profound in its simplicity and can be summed up in one word: cohesion.
根據LNS Research最近進行的一項調查，製造業運營管理調查受訪者面臨的前兩大運營挑戰，分別是缺乏跨不同部門和不同系統和數據庫的協同作業.這對於現代工廠來說尤其困難，而在21世紀取得成功要取得成功，需要對市場需求要如何做出快速響應和靈活應對，並且最大化的提高生產力和利潤。製造業的規劃者需要工廠與供應鏈的協同作業，藉此在產品開發和其他組織資產進行整合和凝聚。此時系統整合商的解決方案看要如何產生專注力的議題，將會變得更加重要，當然製造計劃者則需要改進與利害關係人的溝通與協作方式。 According to a recent survey conducted by LNS Research, the top two operational challenges facing its Manufacturing Operations Management survey respondents were a lack of collaboration across different departments and disparate systems and data sources, respectively.1 This is especially problematic for modern factories, which strive to be responsive and flexible to market needs, while maximizing productivity and profit. In order to succeed in the 21st century, manufacturing planners need their factories to be integrated and cohesive with their supply chain, product development and other organizational assets. This requires system integrators to become more sensitive to how their solutions impact this cohesion, and manufacturing planners to improve the way in which they communicate and collaborate with all stakeholders involved in the planning process.
幸運的是，有一些工具可以讓「每個人都在同平台上」，進而對團隊溝通和縮短實施週期產生催化作用。這些工具中最有效的一種就是視覺化的技術。 Fortunately, there are tools to get everyone on the same page , creating a catalytic effect on team communication and shortening implementation cycles. One of the most effective of these tools is visualization.
