28、s Model Innovation in US Manufacturing4The innovation opportunity for US manufacturing1New technology trends present an opportunity for manufacturers to drive innovation and reinvent business models for economic and societal returns.The manufacturing industry in the United States yields the most sig
29、nificant multiplier effect among all major sectors.Each dollar invested in manufacturing results in another$1.81 being contributed to the economy.Moreover,for every individual employed in manufacturing,four more workers are hired in other sectors.Advancing innovation in the manufacturing sector is t
30、he linchpin of economic prosperity and global competitiveness in the US.5 This innovation encompasses the integration of cutting-edge technologies and material paired with the creation and application of new ideas and methodologies,resulting in the production of high-quality goods with greater preci
31、sion and sustainability.In a rapidly changing environment with evolving customer preferences and societal needs,adapting to trends and anticipating these changes is essential for the manufacturing sector.Without advances in how products are made and services delivered,there might be major impacts on
32、 both manufacturing itself and society.For instance,a severe global shortage of chips(semiconductors)threatens to disrupt the manufacturing of life-saving medical devices and systems,as demand for these chips is likely to double between 2021 and 2028.6 The current market is also proof that rapid inn
33、ovation needs to be a priority.Consumer expectations are ever-evolving,the demand for customization is constantly rising,sustainability is at the forefront of peoples minds,and the competitive landscape is fierce;it will only become more difficult for companies to adapt if they do not take swift act
34、ion.Manufacturing leaders are faced with the choice of either innovating or deferring change:the decision to innovate now is a strategic move and a proactive response to the rapid pace of technological advance in society.Innovating in the manufacturing sector helps businesses to not only navigate an
35、d respond effectively to the ever-evolving landscape of trends,priorities and challenges but also to thrive in the transformative landscape ahead and ensure their continued relevance and competitiveness.Evolutionary change,not revolutionary change Industry leaderFostering innovation relies on how we
36、ll technologies are integrated into businesses:92%of chief executive officers report that technology is a key element of competitiveness.7 This underlines the importance of understanding emerging technology trends,developing plans for effective implementation and merging the integration of new proce
37、sses with legacy systems.Unleashing Business Model Innovation in US Manufacturing5Factory digital twin for simulation-based decision-making:A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical object or system,created using real-time data from sensors and other sources.Digital twin technology enables b
38、usinesses to simulate and optimize the behaviour of physical systems in a virtual environment,allowing them to identify and resolve potential problems before they occur.Digital twins are used to simulate manufacturing processes and optimize production efficiency,reduce waste and minimize downtime.Ha
39、rnessing emerging trends and technologies creates opportunities for economic and societal growth otherwise missing from many legacy manufacturing models.Through consultations with the US Center for Advanced Manufacturings community of manufacturing and supply-chain executives,as well as technology e
40、xperts and academics,six major manufacturing-relevant technology trends that have the potential to transform,reinvent or generate new business models have been identified:Mars,a global leader in food,pet-care and confectionery products,partnered with Accenture to test a digital twin that fed sensor
41、data into a predictive analytics model.This solution enabled operators to monitor and adjust the process for filling packages in real time,resulting in a 50%reduction in waste.Mars is now using digital twin technology globally to develop an insights-driven“factory of the future”.8Connected workforce
42、 platform for workforce enablement:A connected worker platform solution represents a transformative approach that integrates hardware,software tools and data to reshape how front-line operators perform their tasks.Through the amalgamation of wearables or mobile devices and software,these connected s
43、olutions help workers across diverse industries to improve their current productivity and safety by granting them access to crucial data in support of their work objectives.By employing hands-free gadgets and cutting-edge technologies such as augmented reality,Honeywell Forge integrates intelligent
44、wearables that blend a heads-up display and voice command alongside advanced workflow software and comprehensive assimilation of plant and process data.Collaborating with Wood,Honeywell aims to equip the energy sectors front-line workforce with immediate access to vital knowledge and information,the
45、reby streamlining operations,guaranteeing uptime and fostering business continuity.9Augury,an artificial intelligence and software company,has developed technology that diagnoses malfunctions in machinery through vibrational analysis,industrial IoT,infra-red and more.The company has helped various o
46、rganizations improve their manufacturing efficiency,such as Frito-Lay,which added 4,000 hours a year of manufacturing capacity.10Intelligent asset management for improved asset health:Intelligent asset management(IAM)uses a combination of internet of things(IoT)sensors,data and analytics to unlock t
47、rapped value from assets.Data is the bedrock of key enterprise initiatives,but successful adoption of IAM requires focus on the right data elements linked to prioritized use cases.Research shows that challenges in asset management underpin shortfalls in achieving growth targets in asset-intensive in
48、dustries.Autonomous robotic systems to augment workforce capabilities:Autonomous robotic systems(ARS)technology includes autonomous and remotely controlled robots and drones,associated equipment,software control and application software.ARS are used to gather,process,interpret and share data in a co
49、st-effective,safe,quickly deployed,unobtrusive,low-footprint way across air,water and ground domains.Using data to get to autonomous operations requires an in-depth transformation supported by a tightly governed evolution of the operating model,from culture to architecture.Since 2001,Japanese roboti
50、cs company FANUC has operated a lights-out factory that uses automation and robotics to produce up to 50 robots per day.Robots perform all tasks,from welding and painting to assembly and packaging.A sophisticated computer system monitors and controls the robots,collects data on production output and
51、 quality,and uses it to improve the manufacturing process.11Unleashing Business Model Innovation in US Manufacturing6TradeLens is a blockchain-enabled shipping solution that offers more efficient and secure global trade.It brings together various parties to support information-sharing and transparen
52、cy,and ignite innovation throughout the industry.A 12-month trial found that TradeLens can identify and prevent delays due to documentation errors,information delays and other issues.In one example,TradeLens reduced the transit time of a shipment to a production line in the US by 40%,saving thousand
53、s of dollars.13Blockchain and cryptographic anchors for supply-chain traceability:Blockchain is used for managing and recording data in a manner that permits numerous organizations and individuals to securely share real-time access to identical data,thereby addressing concerns related to security,pr
54、ivacy and control.Cryptographic anchors,in the form of immutable“digital fingerprints”,can be integrated into products or their components,enabling tangible goods to possess a traceable digital identity stored on a blockchain.12 Plant control tower to break down the“silo-ed”view of a manufacturing p
55、lant:Plant control tower is an integrated plant performance management solution for monitoring,analysing and optimizing plant performance.Using the contextualized view enabled by a digital twin,it allows companies to break data silos,get real-time,end-to-end visibility of their process performance a
56、nd equip production supervisors with the tools to drive problem resolution and operational improvements.Using a plant control tower,it becomes possible to rapidly identify issues in production,analyse root causes and collaborate with colleagues to resolve them,creating a virtual representation of th
57、e manufacturing or production process.By establishing a control tower allowing visibility across the breadth and depth of its supply chain,Johnson&Johnson maintained an optimal flow of products to its customers and patients,while minimizing costs.The company proactively managed risk and opportunitie
58、s by continuously sensing and reacting to events in the supply chain,building a strong digital capability to deliver real value.14Collectively,these emerging trends and technologies offer a newfound wealth of readily accessible information that can strengthen manufacturers capabilities and empower t
59、hem to establish new revenue models through,for instance,circular practices involving take-back and recycling,comprehensive supply-chain visibility and remanufacturing and repair initiatives.Although the opportunity is ripe,leaders should first gain a deep understanding of their distinct internal in
60、novation needs,the impact of these technologies on their existing processes and potential associated hurdles to make the right investments.Change is inevitable,but most important is how companies approach integrating such change into their business to generate new forms of revenue and create attract
61、ive outcomes for everyone.Unleashing Business Model Innovation in US Manufacturing7Common barriers to creating new business models2Despite emerging technology trends and opportunities,barriers remain that hinder business model innovation in manufacturing.Many organizations have struggled to capture
62、the full potential of innovations to unlock the next wave of value,despite the technological progress made in manufacturing and supply chains,specifically the technology trends identified in section 1.Understanding the barriers to creating new business models can open a new path to thinking through
63、and deriving the right solutions to overcome them and implement new models that have a positive impact for companies,society and the environment.Consultations with the more than 20 senior operations and strategy executives,technology experts and academics led to the identification of eight key barri
64、ers that companies face when incorporating technology and innovation within their businesses(Figure 1).These eight identified barriers serve as a valuable starting point for leaders to assess and pinpoint the specific challenges that resonate within their organizations.Keeping up to date and being e
65、ducated about them equips leaders with the necessary insights to effectively employ the strategies outlined in the next section in order to surmount hurdles and drive innovation.Barriers to business model innovation in manufacturing:where the US standsFIGURE 1Lack of strategic planning53%of US manuf

70、ch is crucial.Strategic investments in research,technology and process optimization can lead to sustainable growth,increased efficiency and adaptability in a changing market.A long-term perspective also helps organizations anticipate disruptions and market shifts,ensuring that they can thrive in a c
71、ompetitive landscape marked by rapid change.Approach to scaling proven value Introducing new technologies into manufacturing is a journey marked by a fair share of uncertainties.Initial success may be found during the pilot phase;however,when scaling up starts,additional challenges tend to emerge un
72、expectedly.Going from a controlled testing environment to full-scale adoption brings forth variables and intricacies that were not apparent in the beginning.These can range from infrastructure issues and integration hurdles to workforce readiness and operational complexities.To navigate this terrain
73、 effectively,a comprehensive and adaptable approach to technology implementation is essential.In this way,leaders can overcome these unknowns and ensure a smooth and successful transition to widespread deployment.Outdated infrastructureThe inherent disparity between well-established infrastructure o
74、r the long-standing and deeply ingrained systems,processes and technologies that have been a part of traditional manufacturing operations for a significant period of time and which serve as the foundation of conventional business models and the need to seamlessly integrate advanced solutions from th
75、e Fourth Industrial Revolution poses a challenge.This disconnect presents significant obstacles for businesses striving to remain competitive and adaptable.To effectively address this challenge,a strategic reassessment of existing structures is imperative,accompanied by a willingness to embrace inno
76、vative methodologies.Bridging the gap between legacy frameworks and the transformative potential of contemporary solutions becomes a pivotal task in this rapidly evolving landscape.Resistance to changeA key challenge faced by manufacturing leaders is the organizations reluctance to fully embrace dig
77、ital transformation,which can impede the implementation of new business models that use emerging technologies.Organizations can face a disconnect between teams and leadership regarding expectations for change,which can result in change fatigue and elevated workplace stress levels.Establishing a cult
78、ure of continuous improvement,where employees actively engage in pinpointing areas for enhancement,proposing innovative solutions and consistently reviewing and refining processes,demands significant effort.Strategic investments in research,technology and process optimization can lead to sustainable
79、 growth,increased efficiency and adaptability in a changing market.Unleashing Business Model Innovation in US Manufacturing9Organizational siloesA lack of cross-functional collaboration within an organization can lead to departmental divisions,communication breakdowns,inefficiencies,customers dissat
80、isfaction and more.To mitigate these issues,a collaborative effort is needed among employees and teams from different segments of the same organization,facilitating interactions that bridge departmental boundaries.The overarching aim of cross-functional collaboration is to enhance internal processes
81、,communication and alignment.By breaking down organizational siloes,this approach strives to boost operational efficiency,elevate product quality and improve overall performance within the organization,ultimately contributing to success in the marketplace.Talent shortage The ageing demographic of th
82、e experienced manufacturing workforce and the simultaneous struggle to attract new talent is another issue.Compounding this challenge is the requirement for swift integration of new technologies,highlighting the pressing need for a well-structured learning strategy to enhance the skills of the exist
83、ing workforce.Embracing these transformations necessitates an unwavering commitment to continuous skill enhancement,ensuring that employees remain proficient in harnessing cutting-edge technologies and preserving competitiveness in the ever-evolving industrial landscape.Fragmented data systems Incon
84、sistent data formats and isolated information systems within organizations can disrupt the smooth flow of information along the manufacturing value chain.This fragmentation of data presents a significant obstacle for leaders striving to make data-driven decisions and respond promptly to market trend
85、s and opportunities.To overcome this hurdle,organizations can prioritize data integration and standardization,encouraging collaboration between departments and systems.By doing so,they can establish a robust data infrastructure that empowers leaders with the insights needed to optimize processes and
86、 enhance competitiveness.Insufficient cross-sectoral collaboration Creating solutions within isolated siloes can impede progress towards achieving financial and sustainability goals within an organization.Overcoming these hurdles necessitates a shift towards collaboration and the forging of alliance
87、s to streamline efforts to reach shared objectives.Strategic partnerships become imperative,as they enable organizations across the manufacturing industry to pool resources,draw on expertise and foster creative thinking.Such collaborations are instrumental in navigating complex challenges more effic
88、iently and accelerating the achievement of financial and sustainability targets.They serve as catalysts,propelling businesses towards heightened success and impact,not only in terms of financial outcomes but also in fulfilling environmental responsibilities.Unleashing Business Model Innovation in US
89、 Manufacturing10Introduction to a playbook for business model innovation in US manufacturing3The new US Center playbook draws on industry best practices to present a common approach to capitalize on novel technologies and business model innovation.Over the course of a nine-month study,the US Center
90、for Advanced Manufacturing conducted extensive research on business model innovation in manufacturing.Gathering insights from manufacturing leaders across multiple industries,a playbook for business models in innovation in US manufacturing was constructed with an inside-out approach,beginning with i
91、nternal factors before considering external ones.It was put together using the perspectives,successes and lessons learned by industry leaders driving innovation.Holding executive roundtable discussions with manufacturing executives,the US Center dug into the emerging technologies that are influencin
92、g business model innovation,alongside the challenges plaguing the industry.Open and honest dialogue broke down barriers,allowing for conversation on industry taboos that need to be addressed if manufacturing leaders are to truly innovate.Leaning into these areas,manufacturing leaders can look to rep
93、osition their perspectives,apply appropriate organizational shifts and re-establish their foothold to generate new business value.Alongside roundtable discussions,the US Center conducted a series of interviews with manufacturing leaders on technology,barriers to innovation,scaling success and adopti
94、ng an organizational innovation culture.These one-on-one conversations provided key insights and an insiders perspective on the challenges,employee view and organizational journey to implementing new technologies and adapting to change.In addition to using shop-floor experience,more than 50 emerging
95、 manufacturing trends and technologies driving innovation were explored,reviewed and assessed.Combining this research with analysis from industry experts and leaders,the papers authors identified select technologies with significant growth potential to spark business model innovation.The latest tech
96、nology trends and barriers to business model innovation derived from interviews with the US Center community emphasized the need to create a common language and understanding as well as to equip the manufacturing ecosystem with a structured resource to navigate these intricacies.Building on the Foru
97、ms global approach and white paper on Unlocking Business Model Innovation through Advanced Manufacturing,published in January 2022,23 as well as on consultations,the US Center is set to introduce its new Playbook for Business Model Innovation in US Manufacturing.This is designed to facilitate the ad
98、option of innovative business models in manufacturing,tailored to the US context.The playbook offers a comprehensive guide for manufacturers to begin or enhance their innovation journey,with leading strategies for success and real-world examples of how other US manufacturers have overcome the challe
99、nges identified.The playbook structure is framed to provide industry leaders with a systematic and comprehensive approach to embracing innovation in new business models.For ease of comprehension and implementation,it is organized into three sections,designed to guide the reader from the key concepts
100、 to the leading strategies to actionable next steps:Unleashing Business Model Innovation in US Manufacturing11Section 1:Introduction and contextThe playbook begins with definitions of innovation,business models and business model innovation,to ensure a common understanding and set the stage for a de
101、eper exploration.It digs into the unique challenges faced by the manufacturing sector and emphasizes the need for innovative solutions.It then highlights transformative technologies driving manufacturing innovation and sheds light on potential barriers that organizations may encounter when implement
102、ing manufacturing innovation trends.Section 2:Strategies for implementing innovative business models in manufacturingAt the heart of the playbook are seven strategies(Figure 2)that have emerged as key for success and that manufacturing companies can apply to make meaningful progress on their innovat
103、ion journey.These strategies encompass a wide range of approaches and actionable steps,from streamlining supply chains to promoting a culture of continuous improvement,each backed up with case studies and insights from the communitys experience of the topic.Section 3:Conclusion and next steps The ke
104、y actions and strategies outlined come together to form a comprehensive roadmap for business model innovation.The last section of the playbook presents a well-defined set of actions and next steps that can be adopted to embark on or progress the innovation journey in manufacturing.The playbook is de
105、signed to be dynamic and will be featured on the US Centers website,a strategic decision that enables continuous updates and refinements.Leaders can easily access the latest case studies,best practices and guiding questions on how to tackle these challenges within their organization.This adaptable a
106、pproach ensures that the playbook remains up to date,effectively accommodating the rapid evolution of new business models and innovative solutions across various manufacturing industries.Unleashing Business Model Innovation in US Manufacturing12Key strategies and outlook for success4The strategies i
107、dentified in section 3 serve as a compass,guiding manufacturing leaders to rethink and reinvent their business models in the ever-evolving manufacturing sector.These seven strategies are described in the playbook with case studies and key steps for leaders to take as they implement them.This section
108、 of the report takes a more detailed look at the four strategies that received the most attention and gained the highest priority among members of the US Center community.Focus strategy 1:Understanding current business models to identify growth leversAt the heart of every successful organization lie
109、s the drive to innovate and solve problems,particularly in todays rapidly evolving technological landscape.However,the quest for solutions should not begin from the bustling market of technology offerings;instead,it should start internally,by comprehending an organizations current business model and
110、 the core issues at hand.This is where a well-structured problem statement emerges as an indispensable first step.24In the grand strategy of problem-solving for growth,it becomes crucial for leaders to identify all possible levers that influence the businesss performance.25 This matters because once
111、 a solution is implemented,predicting and forecasting its expected returns becomes more reasonable.Hence,it is essential to closely analyse productivity data,customer demographics,preferences,market trends,value-chain obstacles and the relationships with vendors and distributors to gauge their inter
112、ests,priorities and potential for future involvement in the organizations pursuit of growth.Focus strategy 2:Addressing the industry challenge of talent and skill shortagesThe manufacturing sector is undergoing digital transformation,a paradigm shift with profound implications for the workforce and
113、one that has placed talent and skills at the top of the agenda for manufacturing leaders.28 At the same time,the experienced manufacturing workforce is ageing.People aged 55 and older are the fastest-growing segment of the US workforce,with about 4 million workers in manufacturing alone being 55 or
114、above in 2022,according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.29In this context,understanding the opportunity of workers longevity and building infrastructure and systems to support and engage them could bring numerous benefits to the workplace.Additionally,partnering with universities and academia t
115、o build well-rounded manufacturing programmes that incorporate the latest technology could help prepare and attract more talent to the industry.Finally,companies that put in place talent progression,and reward and promotion processes and mechanisms have been more successful in retaining key business
116、 talent in their organizations.By adopting a data-backed approach to assess the health of the overall value chain,leaders can identify the most suitable areas for growth and investment.26 This methodical approach ensures that the organization aligns its efforts towards well-informed decisions,ultima
117、tely driving the goal of business expansion.27 With an ageing US population and an increase in the adoption of key technologies by those in the oldest age groups over the past decade,30 organizations should focus on identifying the most relevant upskilling and training programmes they can offer to m
118、aximize workers desire to learn and contribute.Both younger and older workers have much to contribute.Younger digital natives can bring their digital skills to the legacy workforce while members of the legacy workforce can share their knowledge and experience with the younger workers.Unleashing Busi
119、ness Model Innovation in US Manufacturing13The US is expected to have 2.1 million manufacturing jobs unfilled by 2030.33 To meet this projected demand and attract new talent to the sector,creating an environment suited to this new digital age and a culture for embracing change will be critical.Commi
120、tment to innovation,communication and training will reward success but also help the country adapt to an ever-growing labour shortage and cyclical changes in technology.To foster innovation and growth within the manufacturing sector,companies need to go beyond transactional relationships with their
121、partners in the business environment.Strengthening existing partnerships and establishing new ones will enable companies to tap into fresh talent and skill sets,bridge capability gaps and gain new insights from various levels of operations,drawing on diverse multistakeholder experiences.Such connect
122、ions and networks will also be the means of influence for manufacturers and their value chain on policy decisions.The US Center playbook examines all seven strategies(Figure 2),providing additional case studies and key actionable steps for leaders to address challenges and implement these strategies
123、 effectively.From understanding current business models and addressing talent shortages to building the right culture for change and establishing strategic partnerships,these strategies form a cohesive framework for success in manufacturing innovation.As leaders embark on their innovation journeys,t
124、hese strategies and their future outlooks provide a roadmap for navigating the complex and dynamic manufacturing landscape,propelling organizations towards continuous improvement and operational excellence.Focus strategy 3:Building the right culture for changeIn a period of rapid digital shift,it is
125、 important for leaders not only to be conscious of the cultural impact these technologies will have on their organizations but also to know how to act as effective shepherds during this time of change,31 inspiring a culture of innovation and encouraging employees to take risks and experiment essenti
126、al for developing new products and services.At the same time,leaders need to ensure that everyone in the organization is aware of the companys evolving goals and objectives and make an effort to support all staff in adapting to this new culture.32 This will help to ensure that all are working toward
127、s the same target and that there is no resistance to change.Focus strategy 4:Establishing strategic partnerships across the sector Being adept at recognizing and collaborating with partners can serve as a robust driver of competitive edge,especially in the realm of innovating new products,solutions
128、and frameworks.34 Collaborations can balance out research and development expenses,contribute expertise and adaptability,and facilitate the emergence of fresh markets.They can also expedite innovation and the process of making a product commercially available because achieving and commercializing si
129、gnificant advancements can otherwise be a multi-year process.35Maintaining an effective business environment by building strategic partnerships enables organizations to create value that no single company could have created.The advantages of these systems,commonly addressed through terms such as“pla
130、tform leadership”,“keystone strategies”,“open innovation”,“value networks”and“hyperlinked organizations”,are tangible and broadly disseminated.36Some factors to consider before embarking on a partnership are the opportunity cost of not working together,finding a win-win scenario,growing the industry
131、 customer base and safeguarding a competitive edge.37Partner with universities to develop tailored programmes and build specific curriculums by industry.Industry leader Create internship opportunities where young minds can experience what its like working at a plant and be exposed to the emerging te
