UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL
OF YOUR MANUFACTURING SYSTEM
BUILDING THE FACTORY
OF THE FUTURE!
“We realized that the true problem, the true difficulty, and where the greatest potential is – is building the machine that makes the machine. In other words, it’s building the factory. I’m really thinking of the factory like a product“
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX
We think of the factory as a product, where agile manufacturing represents the reference paradigm of the production systems of the future, thanks to which the mass customization of products is enabled to best meet the individual needs of the customer, at the same time reducing production costs and improving the overall quality of products and services.
Agile Manufacturing
“If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”
Abraham Maslow, The Psychology of Science, 1966
Agile manufacturing does not rely on a specific framework, rather it uses the most appropriate tools depending on the specific situations and needs of the company. The goal is to enable more adaptive, resilient ans sustainable production systems.
Therefore, agility can be achieved through a set of methods and tools, summarized in the following pillars:
“The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods.
The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.“
Ralph Waldo Emerson
