Manufacturing costs are currently calculated on direct labor costs plus predetermined operating costs for other value-added activities. Desired profit is arbitrarily set by the factory and has no bearing to real financial performance. Manufacturing performance cannot simply focus on traditional key areas such as line output, bundle throughput time and end line quality. Factories need to establish world-class cost management systems which cover every stage of the product’s journey, from planning, budgeting, targets at development and then later during manufacturing where deviations are monitored and corrected.

Many factories are led by managers who possess many years of on-the-job technical experience but who lack managerial skills. They are also not equipped with the scientific knowledge required for efficient manufacturing in the digital age. Tomorrow’s industry demands managers and supervisors be equipped with the essential techniques allowing them to deal with the obstacles and challenges encountered on a daily basis so that product can move continuously in a more efficient and cost-effective manner
