Successful digital transformation happens at the intersection of people, process and technology. But why is the road to digital transformation so bumpy? A people-centered approach can help manufacturers avoid common pitfalls and get a higher ROI on software investments.
Today
more than ever, the chemical industry is required to deal
with ever shorter development cycles - whether in
the area of
new technologies, processes, products or resources. People, not processes must be at the center of digital transformation.
A continuous improvement process (CIP) is critical to keep process manufacturers competitive and agile. A people-centered, iterative approach enabled by digital Plant Process Management (PPM) applications generates measurable results.
The pharmaceutical industry urgently needs change, but traditional change management often lags behind.
The requirements in the chemical industry are enormous. However, wherever there are challenges, there are also opportunities. Communication during 24/7 shift operation plays a key role in this regard. Innovative enterprise platforms offer varied and multifunctional solutions.
Enormous amounts of process data are generated in the production process. This means that the flow of information during shift operation must work smoothly and not be interrupted 24/7. Process knowledge must be passed across hierarchies and departmental boundaries.
