Nearly 100 manufacturers have completed the Digital Transformation for Manufacturers (DTM) online assessment, a free benchmark comparison tool that enables manufacturers to measure the digital maturity of their organizations and helps them to identify opportunities for digital transformation and profits. The data points to four critical opportunities for manufacturers: #1. Business Strategy Only 31% of manufacturers completing the Assessment have digital strategies even partially implemented. Deploying a well-designed strategy is a critical first step on the digital transformation journey. #2. Network Infrastructure Manufacturers are recognizing that legacy networks and IT equipment and systems may not be up to Industry [...]

MPI Insight: MPI has been tracking green performances of manufacturers since 2010 in the MPI Manufacturing Study. What are the most interesting trends over that time? George: One interesting trend is that the growth of green in manufacturing slowed a bit in past years of the studies. Then it picked up again in our 2021 study. It appears that there's more industry awareness now, with companies recognizing that they need to get on board with green manufacturing. Some companies may be recognizing that their customers want them to be green, and that may be pushing those numbers, too. So, that's an [...]

Lean manufacturing and environmentally responsible practices go hand in hand. Why? Because lean drives plants to optimize for efficiency and relentless reduction of waste. What could be a more perfect match for green manufacturing? The MPI Group has tracked manufacturers’ use of green practices — and performance on green metrics — since 2010. We’ve found that plants using lean – and/or the related methodology of the Toyota Production System (TPS) – are more likely to use leading green practices and to outperform on green metrics. Many factors contribute to the success of these lean, green plants, including: #1. Environment-Friendly [...]
