Sometimes, we don’t always know there is a problem in our manufacturing operations. It may start as a minor issue but can become a chronic problem if not addressed early. By then, it makes diagnosis and treatment urgent.

The Digital Journal reports that 67% of senior business leaders surveyed in The State of Digital Adoption 2022-2023 report are under “incredible pressure” to accelerate digital transformation. These 1,475 executives also revealed that their enterprises overspent their budgets by more than $32 million to reach their goals due to technology deficits and internal delays (lack of interest, approval, commitment, etc.).

Manufacturers are accelerating their digital transformation in an effort to improve their organizational health (e.g., remove clogged “data arteries” by connecting teams and systems). However, they do not always prioritize treatments for their most pressing challenges.

Just how critical is digital transformation in getting your manufacturing operations off life support? Check your symptoms with our new, interactive digital manufacturing first aid kit. Then, learn how digital transformation is central to your organization’s health and longevity.

Check Your Manufacturing Symptoms

Before we diagnose your manufacturing challenges and prescribe their cures, you need to check your symptoms. Go to the Symptoms Checklist page for a list of symptoms you might be experiencing:

Bleeding Costs: Are you experiencing cost overruns in your designs? You’re not alone. Roughly 80% of a product’s cost is determined during the early stages of its design cycle.
Design Deficiencies: Are engineering change orders (ECOs) negatively impacting innovation and time to market? Of the 84% of participating manufacturing companies who said they’d used an on-demand manufacturing platform, a resounding 100% found them beneficial. Specifically, they pointed to gains in quality (62%), transparency (61%), and speed (60%).
Sustainability Phobia: Your organization’s environmental impact is a concern. However, moving forward with viable, transparent sustainability initiatives is overwhelming, leaving you stuck. 93% of companies struggle to be sustainable.
Supply Chain Negotiation is Your Achilles Heel: A Deloitte 2023 Global Chief Procurement Officer Survey reveals that cost/inflation (89%) is a top issue that has had the highest impact on their organizations during the previous 12 months.
