Overview
What you will study
In the Implementing Industry 4.0 - Leading Change in Manufacturing and Operations course offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) , executives and frontline managers will explore methods and tools that individuals, teams, and organizations can use immediately to get the greatest value from technological change.
Participants of this course will learn how to:
- Identify current-state problems that need to be removed prior to the introduction of new technology
- Eradicate "hidden factories" issues in process models and operations development of workforce skills
- Successfully incorporate new technologies without disappointing customers, overburdening employees, and hurting short-term cash flow
- Sequence the introduction of IIoT to accelerate adoption and time to cash flow
- Use IIoT to leverage existing Lean/Six Sigma/continuous improvement efforts
- Develop a coherent roadmap they can share with their entire company
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- New business models and forms of operations that are currently being enabled by technological innovations such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
- The "hidden factory" that results from a counterproductive and unpredictable mix of old and new technologies. Over time, this results in an unknown "process" that delivers defect-laden products behind schedule
- The importance of decoding cultural and workforce factors prior to making an investment in new technologies
- The overemphasis on visioning at the expense of fully understanding existing systems, the context in which those systems are operating, and the people who must use the technology
- Ways to increase a factory’s "IQ," leading to more productive and safer operations
- The role of the front-line leader in the adoption and successful execution of the new technology
