So, it’s imperative that you give giant steps towards Digital Transformation to succeed. Now, to *take crucial decisions* such as cycle-time insights, how many people you need to hire, or how many lines of operation you need to meet the so-*rapid-escalating-customer demands*, you can accomplish this via a **Digital Transformation**. Stop using those data *standard-distribution processes* because you might need those *outliers* you earlier set aside, as they could *become later crucial data points* in your current manufacturing process. Taking care of so many lines in operation and in such a little time, you *limit your small dataset* whilst *restricting the chances of predicting better distribution*. **More Data gathering drives more-better decisions** To understand which data point is *an outlier* or *indicative of a pattern*, you require a *significant amount of data points* to comprehend your process better. No doubt the hardest place to gather data is *the floor at your warehouse and drove by your operator's performance*. Even counting on newly-advanced Automation, such as robotics, connected factories, and more, even now depends on traditional-human processes, in spite of the **Industry 4.0** revolution. Recent studies confirmed that humans still perform 72% of tasks on the factory floor, let's say done manually; consequently obtaining *little information* of what’s going on at the factory floor, making it *invisible for Analytics*. Manufacturers have been forcing to *make expert guesses about line improvements, increasing productivity, whilst diminishing cycle time, different staff shifts,* and *much more*. Nowadays, **Digital transformation** in the factory is bringing more *efficient processes when gathering data*. The *continuously collected-data* is used to develop high performance and *visualise Analytics;* there’s a need to make changes in many areas, but in the end, it's worth the effort. **Most manufacturers will soon be flooding in data!** Do you as a manufacturer, know how to handle this amount of data? The amount of data required to drive real digital transformation is jeopardising the change of the vast amount of raw data or "data lake" into a “data swamp” (data lake that is not used.) Most manufacturers aren’t capable of processing the data required to accurately get the picture of your *data distribution* and *pull out significant insights*. That’s why *transforming your amount of daily data points* with nonstop volume also requires an *evolution in your cultural mindset*. **Look ahead for confrontation from several areas** There’ll be the coworkers who *feel threaten to be assess*ed for the first time. Others that will feel uncertain of their knowledge or expertise and who it’ll be challenging to recognise that it might be obsolete; those who will feel as if their decisions are no longer good enough, making it difficult to operate on new skills, feeling deep inside that those changes will push them out of their comfort zone, *and out of work!* It means, complementing *Data transformation* with *workflow adjustments*. Through coaching, you can make the best out of these swift changes in your data and drive value. It will change your decision, so your standard operating processes as well. The needs for Hiring will also change, as it will do the transformation of your technology and the requirements for job positions in your enterprise. See this Digital transformation as *an opportunity to develop high standards, volume* and *value* in your factory performance, even *better levels* of quality, productivity, plus problem-solving capabilities through an outstanding use of Analytics. The data you gathered will reveal how critical human jobs *have to be enhanced* through the deployment of new digital-automated technologies such as robots, AI, and Machine Learning, and more emerging tech. By all means, they *are here to support human* manufacturing today. **Summing up:** the Analytics from tasks performed by humans are i*ncomplete* and *inaccurate,* due to the massive amount of Data collected. Take the advantage by reaching higher levels of productivity through Human Analytics, complemented by Digital Analytics. **Dave Food** [Prophetic Technology](https://www.prophetic-technology.com/) **Subscribe to our emails & exclusive free content.** **[![I want to subscribe](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2979069/174cc371-9cdc-4b94-a32e-9007f0ac4dea.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2979069/174cc371-9cdc-4b94-a32e-9007f0ac4dea)**         - [supply chain](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/supply-chain) - [visibility](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/visibility) - [big data](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/big-data) - [food industry](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/food-industry) - - - ## Post Your Comments Here #### About Us Prophetic Technology is a team of dedicated people that combine their expertise in business domains with a passion to release potential.s every page it appears on.
