Organisations will have to appoint executive teams with the diversity of the employee pool, create a purpose and culture that inspires people and help the workforce manage turbulence. Retaining the human element in a virtual world will be vital for success pwc.com/gx/en/ceo-agenda/ceo…
New strategies to find and train people won’t be enough. Organisations will have to collaborate with government, educational and vocational institutes and employees to redesign the entire system within which people work pwc.com/gx/en/ceo-agenda/ceo…
Today there are 1.8 million industrial robots worldwide. Yet CEOs still need people. Creative, innovative leaders with emotional intelligence are in very short supply @PwC pwc.com/gx/en/ceo-agenda/ceo…
Manufacturing jobs are requiring progressively higher skills. From 2000 to 2016 the number of manufacturing workers w/o high school
diplomas fell 46%, while those w/ postgrad degrees rose 35%, and associate degrees rose 23% mckinsey.com/global-themes/a…
Today many inefficiencies stem from information lost at points where functions, sites & suppliers intersect. Creating a more seamless flow of data can
itself yield productivity gains. This requires people w/ analytic skills & deep manufacturing know-how mckinsey.com/global-themes/a…
Companies can play a role
in strengthening the entire base of manufacturers... through regional organizations. They focus on such issues as technical
assistance, accelerating innovation, workforce development, access to capital, and policy roadblocks. mckinsey.com/global-themes/a…
Companies that collaborate effectively with their suppliers show distinct growth in margin
relative to other firms in the same industry. @McKinsey_MGI mckinsey.com/global-themes/a…

One of the biggest opportunities associated with Industry
4.0 technologies is creating ecosystems of reliable, innovative small and midsize firms mckinsey.com/global-themes/a…
In Industry 4.0 technology, goods and transport containers are tracked with transponders, and whenever a unit is removed from the warehouse, the data is fed into a central system. When inventory reaches a minimum level, reorders are automatically triggered mckinsey.com/global-themes/a…
The future of production is digital, which plays to US (and Bay Area) strengths mckinsey.com/global-themes/a…
As customers demand more choice and customization, this leaves many niche markets available for small and midsize
manufacturer (and suppliers) to serve directly mckinsey.com/global-themes/a…
A wave of technologies could give manufacturers the agility they need. Early adopters are turning factory floors into information networks to make instant autonomous adjustments that begin to link with
supply-chain partners, distributors, and customers.
