A Continuous Improvement ( Kaizen ) Driven Approach for Realistic Digital Transformation
6 CONCLUSION This article first discussed the opportunities and practice issues of smart manufacturing . Afterward , a maturity-derived SMKL approach for implementing smart manufacturing captures the complexity and pace of system development leading to different implementation efforts by raising maturity levels . Together , covering a wide range of management levels with the step-bystep approach holds opportunities for manufacturers to gain actionable insights and benefit from various growth path in maturity to pursue an adaptable system implementation with a reasonable investment . We call this approach “ think big , start small .” In this context , manufacturers can capitalize their essentials of organizing an unprecedented performance of smart manufacturing .
