Smart Manufacturing Pilot Programmes
Pilot selection rewards transferable results, not only advanced technology.
What reviewers usually look for
| Dimension | Typical expectation |
|---|---|
| Scenario | A clear pain point and objective |
| Results | Quantified improvement in efficiency, quality or cost |
| Technology | A mature approach that can be replicated |
| Management | Supporting organisation and processes |
Preparation
- Establish the baseline before the change so improvement can be measured.
- Define the indicator set such as takt, yield, energy and headcount.
- Be ready to show the line and the records during a site check.
Different levels of programme emphasise different aspects. Read the current year guidance first.
