Frost & Sullivan's Manufacturing Leadership Council (MLC), Mountain View, Calif., an executive-level leadership organization dedicated to achieving transformational growth for the manufacturing industry, has identified six critical issues facing the manufacturing industry as it undertakes its journey to the information-based future envisioned by Manufacturing 4.0. These issues are:
- Factories of the future.
- The integrated manufacturing enterprise.
- Innovation in manufacturing.
- Transformative technologies.
- Next-generation manufacturing leadership and the changing workforce.
- Cybersecurity.
Based on extensive consultation with more than 500 senior executives and associate members of the MLC and board of governors, the latest critical issues agenda is designed to help manufacturers align their thinking and practices for a successful journey to Manufacturing 4.0.
"The future of manufacturing is not only going to be full of new opportunities for strong growth based on the intelligent use of new cyber/physical technologies, such as the Internet of Things, Big Data, and the cloud, but it is also going to be an exciting place to work for a new generation of employees," said David R. Brousell, co-founder of the MLC. "To enable this vision to become a reality, manufacturing executives need a strategic roadmap to transform their businesses for the digital era. The MLC's critical issues agenda brings both focus and clarity to the mission of Manufacturing 4.0."
