Panel Discussion and Afternoon Plenary

About this session

• Panel Discussion: “Is Digitalisation the next step in Lean Manufacturing?”
  

- What links lean and digitalisation?
- The ultimate aim of both lean and digitalisation is to remove waste from the manufacturing process, therefore can the two topics be combined to accelerate both.
- How can we connect lean principles and techniques to process and production data to reduce time to resolve problems.
- Do organisations relate or separate lean and digitalisation?
- Would a greater availability of data support any lean principles?
