digital transformation this video was created in collaboration with lean community you can join the community and start using the lean what is digital transformation well let's start from what is not it is not the digitization the process of converting information into a digital format so what is the digital transformation it's a wide transformation process that embraces the whole organization this transformation engages all processes and employees and it's built on a different strategic vision about how the organization itself should act and react with a radical shift in the mindset of the employees why do we say strategic vision and implementation because the mindset shift means to integrate all new technologies into all areas of the organization and the way we deliver our business the change should impact the way they think our business how we interact with our customers how we manage our data how we organize our production process how we deliver our products how we plan future business and so on but why a company should spend money and energy on this kind of radical transformation first of all to survive missing to keep up the pace with new technologies means that your organization could be easily blown away in a very short time but without going into details with philosophy a few good reasons are related with improving customer experience and services being faster on the market better understanding needs and situation as well as being more effective in production area let's get now to some examples of real digital transformations from the most common and used to the newest applications marketing from leaflets and newspapers to emails and mailing lists from traditional shops to e-commerce loyalty card to mobile app all these steps in intensive usage of technology have the only target to reduce unnecessary costs paper wrong targeting unsatisfied customers and to improve effectiveness proposing only products that customers will likely buy collecting data about customers taste anticipating trends and needs providing services a digital approach can improve the way we manage our data big data analytics is a process to gather precious but hidden information such as trends patterns or hidden correlations that could help us to make a better decision nowadays basically every app or software is using algorithms to understand customers trends and prevent what we will need or buy in the future or just to propose to us well that we will likely buy to better understand what we are talking about just think about smart home automation where a simple device like your phone connected with a kit of sensors and devices can learn from your habits and propose you the right things at the right time devices can communicate with each other and be smart creating what we call today eot the internet of things in a production company data analytics software can help connect all production machines providing real-time data with useful info not only about kpi telling us how production is going smart watches and tablets used to support operators with checklists or proving instruction based on a specific trigger a step in task a specific time situation proactive maintenance sensors and data aggregation will help to understand when a machine is getting near a breakdown before it happens or simply tell us the best moment to substitute a component based on a big amount of data and some small deviations that a human could never detect imagine data analysis of a vibration or temperature changes and what about new devices that we know mainly for our hobbies but that are becoming a fundamental part of the industry 3d printing devices that are now used to produce prototypes in a few hours and not in days or weeks as it was before smart glasses a device with multiple possible uses from simulating a workplace or an object before you actually build it for real prototypes production layout architecture remote assistance for maintenance team imagine fixing a machine in remote sitting at your desk while an operator has hands on the machine and you tell him what to do training for technical operations with the reliable and standardized method and built in checklist and verification of correct sequence of the task [Music] robots and automation are not big news in the industry but in many organizations what you will find are large areas with huge industrial robots doing long or complex operations without any human interaction but in the last few years a brand new technology started to arise collaborative robots these machines are built to work together with humans interacting continuously with us even in a smaller area and for the easier task they are way easier to program and can support activities and tasks even for simple operations of course with a limited investment compared to the huge robots we were used to it would be impossible to list all potential benefits and technologies that could be listed under the digital transformation definition but it should at least be clear that digital does not mean simply switching from paper to a pc but it's something deeper all examples you just saw are related to a different way of seeing things they are the results of a hard change in the way we were thinking of doing things it is the output of a strategy that set up a clear goal of a new or enlarged business a big investment a change of direction and of course a cultural change in the employees of our organizations a simple digitization of our company will not require for sure any special skill or investment but transforming our business into something different using new and different tools is something that needs to be planned in advance with a special focus on the knowledge and skills of our people new technologies will require additional skills or the risk of wasting a big amount of money will be real for example if a few years ago hiring a maintenance operator was pretty easy considering just his or her technical mechanical or electrical skills today we will need to plan to get on board people with digital skills robotics programming and coding plc and connectivity all topics that were unknown few years ago we need to even think about topics that today are just remote concepts or prototypes but that maybe in few years will be a daily and natural thing it was of course not planned and not a pleasant event for sure but the caveat emergency pushed most of our organization to deal with a new way of making business as we said at the beginning expectations of a digital transformation are related to improving efficiency being faster to the market increasing customer satisfaction and thus gaining more business like in the lean approach and continuous improvement a digital transformation is not just a matter of improving but is something you need to plan as a long-term vision in order to survive and gain advantages via your competitors missing this change will put an organization in a risky condition of not surviving the next big technological wave thank you for watching the video remember to like and subscribe to the channel if you want to join
