Manufacturing
At discussion about manufacturing sectors, it reminds us about Automation, Product Equipment, manufacturing of Hardware/Software, Nanotechnology, Industrial Bio-Tech, Material Handling, factories, plants, mills….
It relates to Intellectual property of design, manufacturing formulations being available on line, code sharing with researchers and programmers, value supply chain, product development, procurement processes, best practices.
Due to the nature of the sector, an efficient enterprise resources planning becomes a must. Constantly faced with stiff competition, acceleration of speed, quality and cost effectiveness in delivery, the sector have to optimize their investment in all aspect; motivating their internal people to work hard to gain business growth. Six Sigma practices were enforced and spread across entire operation, such disciplines helps the organisation to stay valid in the sector of manufacturing. That’s not all, the rising cost of energy is affecting certain countries in both export and importing both raw or finished products.
Information technologies are heavily used at plants/mills/factory and in office by management/finance/administrations/business units/operations/logistics. To support the required ERP system, skills and talent must be built to manage this complexity. Huge capacity of databases in different locations used to be common not until storage area network became the platform for storing and sharing. Today, this sector faces the same challenges as the rest in all aspect of cyber security. Design codes were stolen before product being launched. Customer record being compromised by disgruntled employee. Password remains unchained due to poor housekeeping and administrations…..
