项目摘要

Imagine you are responsible for the digitisation journey of your company's manufacturing. You know by embedding digitisation throughout the whole manufacturing value chain will bring success. However, your manufacturing portfolio is diverse e.g. high volume fast moving white goods, novel pharmaceutical biological drugs, automotive components, chemical synthesis and aircraft avionics. You also design, manufacture and operate nuclear facilities. Each of the sectors claim they are unique; however, your experience evidences the underlying challenges are common - although often articulated in different ways!You have learnt lessons from the 1980's where companies adopted automation because 'it was the new shiny technology" but productivity savings were not always realised, and the Made Smarter Review evidenced that in 2017 productivity challenges, still remain - even though the technology is available. You know that people are the critical element. You have seen manufacturing systems fail to deliver because of employee pushback, lack of engagement/skills/leadership as well as poor change management (Made Smarter Review 2017, Vander Luis Da Silva, et al. 2020). You recognise to create value in manufacturing through digitalisation needs investment in people. It is your view that the right combination of current technology, data and people can deliver SMART manufacturing today i.e. if we have the right people, we can be responsive, reactive, make smart decisions to maximise manufacturing value using live data and information. However, to achieve digitally engaged people, especially in manufacturing you believe there needs to be a process for manufacturing companies to follow, regardless of sector and size.The vision of this centre is to enable 'UK Manufacturing to improve their productivity year on year by investing in their biggest assets - people"". This investment will lead to the uptake of digitalisation. As part of our ambitious centre, Theme 4 - "Societal and cultural change: managing the disruptive impact of digital technologies." i.e. achieving digitally engaged people is core and will account for up-to 65% of our activities. Around 56% of UK manufacturing (Q2, 2019) are SMEs which are critical to UK Manufacturing. To meet our goal of digitally engaged people our research will engage the whole manufacturing value chain through Theme 3 - "connected and versatile supply chain" our second core themeHowever, we recognise investing in people will 'touch' all of the themes and our networking activities will be crucial in leveraging value from the Made Smarter investments.In summary, our hypothesis is that regardless of manufacturing sector and company size a common process leading to digitally engaged people is achievable in practice i.e. in industry. Impacts from embedding our research into aerospace manufacturing demonstrated the data/information engineers believed they needed, was not the data/information they used to make decisions. We were able to increase their productivity by 47% through a combination of manufacturing digitalisation and human factors. This was achieved through a step-by-step process, using data analytics, human factors and observing people in action. Our centre will build on this expertise and create a generic process for use across UK manufacturing - leading to increased productivity.

想象一下，您对公司制造业的数字化旅程负责。您知道，通过嵌入整个制造价值链中的数字化将带来成功。但是，您的制造产品组合有多种多样的大量快速移动的白色商品，新型的药物生物药物，汽车组件，化学合成和飞机航空电子学。您还设计，制造和操作核设施。每个部门都声称它们是独一无二的。但是，您的经验证明了潜在的挑战很普遍 - 尽管经常以不同的方式表达！您从1980年代中学到了经验教训，公司采用自动化，因为“这是新的闪亮技术”，但是并没有总是实现生产力的节省，而制造的智慧审查并没有总是在2017年的生产力挑战，即使您的工具都可以看到，因为您已经可以使用这些技术。参与/技能/领导力以及不良的变更管理（2017年，范德·路易斯·达·席尔瓦（Vander Luis Da Silva）等人，您会认识到通过数字化需要投资于人的制造价值。但是，为了实现数字参与的人，尤其是在制造业中，您认为，无论行业和规模如何，制造公司都需要有一个过程。该中心的愿景是使“英国制造业能够通过投资于其最大资产 - 人民”来逐年提高其生产率。这项投资将导致数字化的吸收。作为我们雄心勃勃的中心的一部分，主题4-“社会和文化变革：管理数字技术的破坏性影响”。即实现数字参与的人是核心，将占我们活动的65％。英国制造业（第2季度，2019年）中约有56％是中小型企业，对英国制造至关重要。为了满足我们的数字参与人的目标，我们的研究将通过主题3与整个制造价值链一起吸引整个制造价值链 - “连接和多功能的供应链”我们的第二个核心主题，我们认识到对人们的投资将“触摸”所有主题，我们的网络活动对于从制造的智能投资中利用了不可或缺的范围，我们的假设是不合理的。练习，即行业。将我们的研究嵌入航空制造业的影响表明数据/信息工程师认为他们需要的不是他们用于做出决策的数据/信息。通过制造数字化和人为因素的结合，我们能够将其生产率提高47％。这是通过数据分析，人为因素和观察行动中的人的逐步过程来实现的。我们的中心将以这种专业知识为基础，并在英国制造业中创建通用过程，从而提高生产率。
