Every manufacturer in the world is sensing a changing landscape. Technology changes are driving a total rethink of how manufacturing should be performed. Couple this with the pressure of a changing workforce skill set and a changing working environment and it forces manufacturing leaders to constantly assess how to proceed. This is a workshop to support these manufacturing leaders. We shall discuss first the implications of how to create value from advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence. The advancement of Generative AI allows us to do the job better. But what we have learned is that “to automate a mess remains a mess” and the data integrity to drive success is the critical building block. This we shall discuss. The second half of the workshop addresses the impact on the workforce. “Educate, Attain and Retain” the knowledge worker is the #1 strategic core process at Intel. They understand that the advancement of technology can happen only if the talent is present. The technological transformation must be lead by the workforce. But who do you need and what do they need to know? This launches the workshop portion of the session. We will address the collective perception of skills gaps from the audience attendees using a state-of-the-art tool. This data collection shall be presented to cluster leadership for future planning. We shall conclude the workshop with a discussion on what this really means to manufacturers.
