4 Mobile technology has the potential to play a role in almost every step in the manufacturing cycle, right from raw material procurement to supply chain to delivery. From mobile ERP and mobile Business Intelligence to QC reports to PO/ requisition approval, we can see multiple points across processes wherein mobility can be a lean enabler. In other words, mobility doesn t limit itself to simply shifting work from PCs to mobile but promises more through role-based applications, device integration and process synchronization.

5 What can you expect from mobility? 20% reduction in production time. The rapid data entry, elimination of key entry, electronic sign off, and central server architecture eliminated 20 percent of the production time of the final products, effectively improving the cost-efficiency of compliance and quality processes as well as margins without adding human resources. Filed Mobility 48% increase in quality of Service. Two factors contributed to a major increase in the quality of service: the ability to provide instant access to information needed to complete a given maintenance task; and the ability to identify and correct any errors or inadvertent missed steps in real time. 29% increase in supervisor productivity. The need for supervisors to manually review service records was completely eliminated. The system automatically checked service tasks in real time as they were performed against service orders for a specific aircraft. 15% increase in inspector productivity. Inspectors no longer have to locate and photocopy inspection forms in large books to prepare for the various inspections; complete the forms and then enter forms into various computer systems. As a result, the company was able to reduce the inspection workforce from 20 to 18, allowing the company to redeploy two workers to production operations.

7 Mobility Concerns GPDIS_2012.ppt 7

8 In the Future Most organizations today are only picking the low lying fruits of mobility. And therefore we see the role of mobility limited to a communication & information channel with a few exceptions of device integration in a process. Complete synchronization of operational processes with mobility solutions and comprehensive integration of mobile devices and apps with the manufacturing ecosystem, are still in its early day Factory floors will be remotely controlled with mobile access to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Distributed Control Systems (DCS). Machine-to-machine (M2M) and human-machine interfaces (HMI) will also enable supervisors and managers to supervise and control shop-floor activities from anywhere via their devices Emerging technologies like NFC and RFID will be used to tag and track the movement of products, right from the production stage to inventory, logistics and store. Real-time business intelligence dashboards via bluetooth enabled mobile devices will also see large scale adoption. GPSsensors and accelerometers will be used to update controller s dashboard, expediting maintenance-related responses. GPDIS_2012.ppt 8

9 Unlock Productivity Reexamining how you currently collect information can create opportunities to unlock productivity and savings in operational expenses There is little point to digitizing work flows and creating real-time visibility into operational manufacturing intelligence if the folks who are doing the work cannot access the data except when they are at their desk. How many of us want or believe supervisors, line operators, or plant managers spend much if any time at their desks? Information at your Finger tips GPDIS_2012.ppt 9

10 Recommendations Enable mobility broadly. Mobility is the future and offers tremendous opportunities to manufacturing organizations. Explore how you can leverage mobile technology to transform your organization and bring agility and innovation to it. Think big. Build a mobile strategy that optimizes your organizational capacity and the mobility advantage. Think beyond simple mobile usage and plan for wide-ranging implementation of mobility. Manage the Risks. Mobility has risks associated with it. Understand those risks and then deploy an effective security mechanism to mitigate those risks. Be Patient. It takes time to get returns on your investments from mobility. So be ready for a long haul. Lay down the groundwork for next generation of mobility. Be prepared to leverage from emerging technologies like RFID, NFC etc. Mobilizing the workforce is just the beginning GPDIS_2012.ppt 10
