Overview:

In this discussion, Michael, Harsh, and Chamara will explore how you could take a human-centred, strategy-first approach to transform your operations by deploying an observability solution for your organisation to discover technology assets, understand how they support your business processes and experiment with new emerging technologies.

We share a case study of how an automobile aftermarket parts manufacturer went through its digital transformation journey. In this discussion, we will;

• Walk through our experience of how we co-designed their digital transformation strategy to gain executive sponsorship and support from the leaders and teams.
• Look at how they took an incremental investment approach, focusing on business outcomes through experimentation and scaling the transformation.
• Explore how they discovered the technology supporting the manufacturing operation, using lot tracking at different manufacturing stations to provide better lead time forecasts for customer orders.
• Explain how they managed to get clarity on areas hampered by ageing equipment and understand how this impacted the customer order delivery lead times.
• Examine how they experimented with artificial intelligence to reduce defects, move from scheduled proactive maintenance to predictive maintenance, and improve uptime and equipment utilisation.
