Implementing a Sustainable Profitable Operations Model
An Integrated Digital Transformation Approach bringing Engineering and Operational Excellence together
Faro Partners is SMS_ThinkTank’s partner for operational excellence. The Faro Partners team provides leading-edge consulting in lean management. This partnership adds great value to SMS_ThinkTank’s Digital Transformation Consulting Offerings. This partnership enables the combination of digital engineering and operational excellence under one umbrella in support of companies’ digital transformation initiatives. Together we developed a state-of-the-art CMMI-based Industry 4.0 Maturity Model. This model is the foundation of our combined consulting offerings.
This partnership highlights the requirement that upfront operations development and optimization needs to be moved into early stages of the lifecycle of a product or service. It can’t be an afterthought anymore. The operational element of any organization is a foundational element within an enterprise’s product systems, ecosystem and solution system. By considering operations in the very early development stages, it becomes part of the overall systems solution. By applying virtual principles to the traditional lean principles leading-edge systems engineering principles can be applied to the operation in conjunction with engineering. This will result in:
- Overall reduced deployment time of new products and services
- Improved launch timing and quality of products and services
- Overall improved performance of launched products and services
Merging Lean Management with Industry 4.0:
- Think systematically
- Model-based processes
- Systems thinking
- Cyber-physical systems
- Assure quality at the source
- Predictive performance
- Performance optimization
- IIoT (also linked to “Flow and Pull”)
- Seek perfection of all operational aspects
- AI and cognitive decision making
- Advanced Analytics
- Digital Twin
- Smart factory
- Advanced human/machine interface
- Establish collaborative environment/remove silos
CMMI-based Maturity Models have been developed by SMS_ThinkTank for a variety of domains. All these models are structured in three main categories:
- Organization/People
- Process
- Technology
The same principle has been applied to the newly developed together with Faro Partners Industry 4.0 Maturity Model. This is reflecting the combination of principles mentioned above.
