P&G is widely regarded for its operational excellence capability. That capability helped the company to have a year-on-year results of cost saving, inventory reduction, service improvement, productivity gains and employee satisfaction. In this presentation, you will learn about the critical leadership actions to build and maintain the capabilities to achieve this level of performance AND how that helps to create the foundation to leverage digitization to advance that journey.

Key areas to be address include:

• What does P&G expect from her factories, and how do IWS helps each factory to deliver those expectations

• What are the critical actions you as leader can do to build the capability for these results and successful digitization

• How P&G links the development, implementation, and use of digital tools with the OPEX journey

You might think you have a complete electronic batch record (EBR) system, but how do you know if it is truly complete? If you have paper documentation making its way into the process, or if you manually transfer data from one system to another, you do not have a complete EBR and are leaving yourself open to risk.  

 At every stage of manufacturing, whether production planning, manufacturing execution, quality control and quality assurance, or data management and analytics, your systems should be completely integrated, paperless, and exchange data without human error. If they aren’t, you are wasting precious time and resources.  

 A partially complete EBR system can only provide partial benefits, still leaving you open to the risks of poor data integrity, lack of visibility, inability to search for information, and incomplete datasets when it comes to decision-making. This session will illustrate the difference between a partial EBR and a fully connected EBR solution that enables smarter, faster manufacturing with immediate performance gains at every step. The best part, these solutions work for high-mix, low-volume lines, where traditional systems can be cost-prohibitive.  

This session will address:

• How to identify a complete EBR system

• Partially digital and disconnected systems are not efficient and increase risk

• Fully digitized batch records enable smarter, faster manufacturing so manufacturers can make immediate performance gains at every step

• Today’s technology is configurable to a variety of manufacturing scenarios
