Organizations operate in an environment that is technologically and competitively evolving more rapidly than ever before. As such, they continue to redesign their product operations, business models, and customer support solutions. Until now, industry has sought profitability in standardization, series production, large volumes, and cost reduction. Show
Now, organizations must adjust to this disruptive market leveraging technology to drive growth and efficiency. New technologies are a game-changer, as they allow greater product customization breaking fixed structures from factories, making products more modular, and generating profits despite producing fewer products. Organizations that engage in intense management practices and technology deployment can improve asset efficiency by 10-20%.
